Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Nelson Bay

Julie is a wonderful host very easy to communicate with. We feel in love with Port Stephen’s and could imagine living there one day. Thank you Julie for the Christmas touches the kids very much enjoyed the lights. We hope to be back one day soon.

We had a lovely time staying here. It was a great place to start out our travels in Australia. We loved that you could open the room up and let the fresh air in. We would stay here again.

Amazing place to stay with our 2 small dogs. Yard was perfect. Bathrooms spotless, bed comfy, lounge comfy, wifi great and kitchen great. Handy beach shower in the yard and air-conditioned with ceiling fans perfect. Highly recommend this 👌

We spent the long weekend at Kylie’s place to attend a family wedding at Redleaf at Wollimbi. The house was perfect for our group of 11 adults ! It also gave us great peace of mind that we could bring our dogs with us . The beds and bedding were super comfy, and we had plenty of space in the living, kitchen area. It was great being able to fit us all around the large dining table for meals and playing games. There were a few minor details that could have been addressed to boost guest comfort : the grass in the backyard was high and hadn’t been mowed for a while and there were not enough places to hang 11 bath towels…. Hooks in the bedrooms would have been handy. Over all it was a very comfortable house to stay at and boosted our enjoyment of our busy weekend catching up with family.

Reid and Kerrie’s place was the perfect place to stay with our family group. Well equipped and space for everyone. We loved the communal living area where we could all be together but not on top of each other. A great place to stay with extended family or group of friends.

We had a fantastic stay at Donna’s listing, it was exactly as described and my niece had the best time at the playground right next door to the house. Shops and the local cafe were a hit, we could t have asked for more.

Great host and good stay for the work team.

We had a fantastic day felt like home so close to shops IGA restaurants pubs lots to see and do in walking distance linen was very clean and fresh bathrooms were very fresh and clean too . Kitchen was well equipped with everything that you need to cook with . Response from Tara was fantastic. Responded very quickly to us. When needed. Location was easy to find driveway was good somewhere to park the car. Would definitely stay there again

Great place ! Bigger than the impression the photos give. Great location, walking distance to the beach and main restaurant strip.

We had a great stay at Caves Beach - the apartment was well appointed and had everything we needed for our brief stay. There was plenty of space for 3 couples, and despite some average weather, we enjoyed using the balcony which had some awesome views. It was in walking distance to the beach, and we were so appreciative of Donna for accommodating our additional request needs! Thank you! The only suggestions I can make for future guests stays would be cleanliness - There was sand in the main bathroom, and the sofa had quite a few stains, as well as the carpets. I know these things happen over time with airbnb's, so it didnt affect our stay, but would suggest a deep clean!

Great communication with Vicki, lots of information provided, beautifully decorated with a lovely and tasteful beach vibe, easy stroll to the shops and cafes. Great place!

Great little weekend getaway place. Good spot and perfect for what we needed! Would stay here again in the future!

Location, location, location!!!! Right on the beach! You can hear the waves from every room. So peaceful and relaxing. An older building, however the kitchen and bathroom has been renovated and the lounge and bedroom were well presented and comfy. Lovely walk down the hill to cafes and restaurants and supermarket less than 2 minute drive. After a week, we still didn’t want to leave.

We had an amazing stay at Steve's place! The apartment was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect—quiet, yet close to all the local attractions. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the welcome chocolate and local recommendations. The communication with Steve was excellent from start to finish. He was responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and we would love to stay here again!

Bianca's apartment was gorgeous. It had everything we needed plus! The mood created with decorative lamps, plants and luxurious fabrics was warm and inviting. The bed and linen, beautiful to look at and sleeping was a dream. We really enjoyed the privacy of the balcony, it was like another room of the apartment. Comfortable and again lots of plants and special fabrics and cushions. We walked everywhere, watched huge container ships coming into the port. Lots to see, beaches, historical buildings and lots of areas to walk or ride along. Restaurants & coffee shops and of course, unique boutiques and retro shops to explore. We would definitely stay there again.

My partner, 3yr old and I stayed at Glenyss’s beachside apartment for 2 weeks. We felt comfortable and at home as soon as we walked in and found the apartment very child friendly with everything we needed, perfect for a family getaway. I would definitely love to come back in the future and will be recommending to my family and friends!

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

Fantastic stay at Connie’s apartment. There were clear instructions as to entry and car parking and entry to the apartment was via the lift from the basement car park. Everything in the apartment was perfect for us with comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms, and full facilities. Lovely private outdoor area with a relaxed ambiance. Certainly the best Airbnb we have stayed in and worth every penny!

Mark and Leah provide accommodation which is superbly clean and comfortable and has many little touches (such as the beach umbrella and towels, and the welcome drinks in the fridge) which make for a very pleasant stay. The highlight is definitely the wonderful view of the bay, the foreshore, the headlands and the pier, which always has something interesting to watch. They also provide excellent information for self check in before arrival, and access to the apartment and nearby parking is really easy. The location is excellent for access to cafes and restaurants nearby and also for some beautiful walks in the local area. For a week's stay, the washer and dryer are very handy too. There is also an excellent TV with Netflix, YouTube and Foxtel. The kitchen is especially well equipped, with both pod and a grounds coffee machines. We are well travelled and this was one of the most comfortable apartments we have stayed in. Thank you Mark and Leah.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

Definitely recommend staying here, we will be rebooking in the future

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.

This was a great find! Came up to the hunter for a friend's engagement and decided to make a weekend of it. this was a great base for getting out and about and was so close to everything. I enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning admiring the view and wildlife. great apartment layout and all it was really well set up. we didnt use much, but could see the kitchen was well set up for those who would want to cook food etc. lovely toiletries, and everything as described with super clear instructions, and tips for local activities and food spots I would love to come back and spend more time here. thankyou for a lovely stay
