Tomaree coastal walk

We were a group of mums from Sydney who travelled north to walking the 28km coastal walk. We stayed over night at the property splitting the walk into two days. The property was perfect for what we wanted and host Julie was so kind to alert us to a wild koala! We would love to send our hubbies to enjoy carbon copy of the experience!

Serenity

What an absolute find this property was. Exceptionally presented. Very stylish furnishings. A well stocked kitchen. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Nice little touches here and there made it feel like home. I would definitely recommend ‘Serenity’ to family and friends.

Property was everything we need, Nice location,quiet loved having kookaburras and other birds come to visit. The air conditioners in the bedrooms were not the best. Fan in kitchen not working. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect in comfort and location

My wife and I had a delightful few days at Ocean Alley. Neat, new and exceptional in cleanliness, this was a perfect location to access the serene environment of Anna Bay and for getting to amazing Birubi Beach and all that its sand dunes had to offer. Lovely host, and would happily stay again.

Beach Cottage Stay

My family and i loved the quiet, amazingly presented beach cottage. 1 Very clean and wonderfully furnished. 2. Fantastic position. 3. Beautiful dog-walking. 4. Close to main strip, beach and yet a million miles away. Sherri was amazing to deal with and gave all the information required for our stay.

The light-filled lounge area offers a comfy sofa and chaise to settle in and watch a movie, with an additional armchair offering a cosy reading spot.

Peaceful and pretty

We had a lovely stay at the property. The location was peaceful and very pretty and the locals were really friendly. Great for a peaceful getaway, fishing and tranquility. The nearest shops were about 24 minutes away which is fine if you don't mind driving. Some of the appliances were a little tricky to work out. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and did not mind travelling to local beaches. My son really enjoyed the fishing and the view was amazing.

2 Min to Beach

The property was really lovely for a couple with a pooch. Small back yard with grass and outdoor furniture and an undercover entertaining area which was perfect for the hot evenings. Everything we needed was at our fingertips and the walk to local shops was 15 mins and walk to beach was 2 min. Perfect travel location to other parts of Port Stephens.
