The Pool House was a lovely place to stay and truly felt like a home away from home. It had everything we needed, and we especially loved having our own private pool on the property. Jan was very responsive to all of our questions, and we would highly recommend the Pool House to any couple looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Pool house is the best in Lemon Tree Passage

My wife and our dog stayed at the pool house a year ago and when we decided again to spend a week at Port Stephens, it was clear that the Pool House was the obvious choice. Perfect for adults and the dog loves the place too
