Port Stephens pet-friendly rentals

We definitely struck gold finding this amazing property in Hinton. Every room was impeccibly decorated, beds super comfortable and the view so tranqil. There was no shortage of luxuries. There is an outdoor sauna overlooking the expansive paddock, a firepit with a built in yarning circle, piano and a full sized pool table. Our teenage children played games of pool followed by sitting around the campfire playing their guitars, which was so heartwarming to see them interact like this rather than sit on their devices. There is also a selection of great reading material in the library lounge area as well as games and puzzles. We are already planning our next visit back. Thank you Penny for letting us stay and for your incredible communication. From enquiry to booking and checking out was seamless.

Amazing property, location and set-up. Beam in the living room was perfect for stringing up some Taylor swift-esque bridal shower decorations.Unfortunately we found some dirty/mouldy dishes underneath clean dishes in the cupboards, likely from a lazy person who stayed there before. We washed them but worth being mindful and passing on to the property cleaners.Also we wanted to vacuum but the Dyson wasn’t charged, so you might find confetti on the floor…soz.

Awesome short break

We had a wonderful time at Shoaly house. We stayed with our extended family with room for everyone.The property has three separate living areas which gave each family their own space, though there was some jealousy about who got the back cottage (it’s very nice).The main house common area is small for a big group, but the front and back decks are huge. We had all our meals on the back deck, the built in BBQ is excellent and the kitchen windows open onto the deck to create a serving area, perfect for our big group. It was comfortable even with some rainy weather We liked that there was secure parking for all of our cars.The location is mid way between three beaches, 1.2km to the closest one. An easy walk, or a short drive if you’re taking beach equipment.Our hosts were very helpful and responded to all my questions quickly.I definitely recommend the house for a big family get together.

Spent a lovely few days in this beautiful and restful location. Our dog loved it too! Very convenient location. Only negative was the road noise.

Great spot

This is an extremely well appointed home. It is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. Beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen.Very quiet area a short walk to the beach, Bannisters and local shops

We were sailing for the week so this was very handy to Nelson Bay, within 15 minutes walking to everything. The house was well fitted out and suited our requirements perfectly.
