About this property

Bayviews Bed and Breakfast Port Stephens

Welcome to:- "The Bays Best Kept Secret". Since opening December 2002 Bayviews B&B still offers $90.00 per room per night accommodation...!!

A purpose-built B&B & art gallery/studio opposite Cromarty Bay Road tree-lined beachfront reserve at Soldiers Point, Port your'll discover the quiet part of the 'Bay', as well as Australia's renowned blue-water wonderland & dolphin/whale watch capital, all just a 2 hour easy drive north of Sydney, NSW.

Refurbished January 2023 Bayviews is still consistently ranked in the regions "TOP 10 B&B's" and continues to offer star accommodation for up to 2 guests with queen size bedroom, private bathroom and breakfast/lounge room, all with polished timber floors and fans throughout a smoke-free interior. Guests can enjoy relaxing outdoors in tropical landscaped surroundings, with parkland all around and Cromarty Bay right across the road with no passing road traffic... just peace and quiet... yet the property is still just minutes to all the regions attractions, beaches, shops & amenities...

Bayviews is one of the few B&B's that still accept one night bookings (without a two night penalty)....Our tariff of $90 PER ROOM PER NIGHT, (including private bathroom, continental breakfast, off-road parking & all charges) remains the SAME GREAT VALUE as per our December '02 opening. We're not suitable however,for children under teen years,

Cromarty Bay Road, Soldiers Point, is regarded as the 'quiet' part of the "Bay" and certainly not affected by the hustle and bustle of Christmas, Easter, and other holiday periods... With tree-lined beachfront reserve right across the road, (great fishing) and national park-lands either side..Bayviews also makes a great place to 'base' your Port Stephens stay...We're just 2 hours easy drive north of Sydney, with easy access to the Hunter wineries and vineyards, Barrington Tops rainforest, Morpeth town markets, and, Newcastle and Maitland is only 30-45 minutes away.

Check out our ratings & reviews online, and keep us in mind If your heading north or south on the Pacific Highway, as we make a ideal stopover with quick and easy access to/from the freeway... And also now that the new Hunter Expressway cross-link is opened, if your heading west across the state...

We're minutes to:- Horizons NSW Open Golf Course, marinas, sand & surf beaches, cinemas, restaurants, Bowling/RSL Clubs, Dolphin/Whalewatch cruises...4WD sand dune board surfing & fishing...
Great day trips to:- Morpeth markets and antique shops (Australia's first inland port). Hunter Valley wineries & vineyards, para-gliding/hot-air ballooning, ferry rides to Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest...FighterTown museum at Williamstown, scuba-diving, Barramundi farm and restaurant...

We must say a very big thank you to George! We had planned to arrive 9pm and needed to leave 5am for a dolphin swim. However, our flight to Sydney was delayed and we arrived 11:30pm. But George was so nice, he stayed awake for us and gave us a super warm welcome! The appartement itself is absolutely clean with a comfy bed. A breakfast is also available, but unfortunately we left so early that we could not try it. The location is also great, quite and lots of nature and wildlife around. We absolutely recommend to stay here!

This is the absolute best B&B we have ever stayed at. The hosts are incredible. They provided a wide variety of choice every morning for breakfast and respected our privacy while we were staying in their home. the property is pristine clean while also being very homely. I highly recommend Bayviews B&B to anyone who is staying in Port Stephens.

Lovely B&B

Christine and George’s place is a great base from which to explore the stunning Port Stephens area. The full downstairs of the property is used for B&B guests - it offers ample room decorated to a very high standard. Croissants in the mornings was a lovely touch. Thank you and would love to stay again!
