Beachfront holiday rental in Dutchmans Beach

we loved staying at Clare's place, everything we needed to have an enjoyable holiday was supplied. Kids loved the wii, DVD selection and board games. beds were super comfy, lots of lovely light and our dog absolutely loved the dog beach.

This is one of the most thoughtfully managed Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The place is cozy, stylish, and full of small surprises that made us feel truly welcomed and at home. You can really sense the care and intention behind every detail. Communication with the host was smooth and heartfelt from the start. If I ever return to Newcastle, this would definitely be my top choice. Thank you again for such a lovely stay!

Our stay was great. Very convenient to everything The unit was very well appointed and had everything we needed. It’s better than the photos. We will return again.

This apartment is impeccable, a dream. The view of the harbour is superb & if we hadn’t been there to run the Newcastle marathon we might never have left the apartment! When we did leave we were right in the hub with easy transportation & great restaurants in walking distance. Every aspect of the apartment is well thought out, beautiful & luxurious. Thank you, we already can’t wait to return!

Elizabeth's place was fantastic for the two of us. It was pristinely clean and tidy. The photos matched the description of the property accurately. Location was perfect, being 300m from a patrolled beach, and a short 500m walk to patrolled ocean baths. It was near to plenty of cafe's and restaurants, and close to bus stops. Elizabeth was a fantastic host, with excellent communication skills. She was proactive with instructions and information to assist us in our stay, including suggestions for activities alternate to the beach/pool. We would definitely stay again.

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.

Lovely place, great location and very homely. Would not stay anywhere else in Newcastle when back!

We live in the area and just needed a place to crash while we had some work done at home. The house is beautiful and airy and instructions were crystal clear. We loved having a little staycation in the best suburb in Newy!

Great place for young family. The kids loved the heated pool and trampolines. Comfy and clean, the unit was well equipped and amazingly located, across road from beach. Would stay again

Narelle’s place is situated perfectly 2 mins walk from beautiful Little Beach and other attractions/activities in this area of Port Stephens. The apartment was beautiful and spotless with a fully stocked kitchen with everything you may possibly need as well as games and rackets for the tennis court. Parking was available on site. Additionally Narelle was quick to respond to any queries I had. I would definitely recommend Narelle’s place. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Great location. Being on the 3rd floor gave great views but with no lift made access a bit harder. Accommodation is pretty good, very good for the price. It is a bit tired and could do with a freshen up. Had a great week there - very suitable for a young family.

We loved our stay at this property. Everything was well maintained and it was a restful environment. We enjoyed our time very much. Super handy to have the little grocery and take away shop downstairs. The bus stop was a bit noisy at night but not terrible. We were a bit confused about access initially, needed to ring and clarify. The flat itself had all the things you need and was very comfortable.

Very comfortable apartment in an excellent location. 5 adults in our group and it did not feel crowded.

Had a lovely week at the Love Nest. The apartment was so well appointed and stylish, comfortable and the location is hard to beat - you can hear the waves, the beach is so close. Kristin was so welcoming and warm and we would definitely stay again. Highly recommended.

Great location - so close to the beach. You can tell Lara has put a lot of thought into the airbnb. There is great finishing, the pool is lovely, aircon, nice appliances and lots of light. We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment! The views of Fingal Bay were absolutely spectacular, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. We loved having the little grocery store and cafés just downstairs—so convenient. The underground parking and elevator access straight to the second-floor apartment were a huge plus. The large covered balcony was perfect for relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. We also appreciated how peaceful the area was while still being close to amenities. The only minor issue was sometimes the buses will idle at the bus stop near the apartment and if you have your doors open it can be a bit loud. But it’s only a couple of times per day we noticed it. Definitely recommend the apartment.

Such a beautiful spot only a stones throw from the beach. A laid back property with everything we needed for a little break. Will be back

The views were absolutely spectacular!! We loved the house, the location, the kangaroos, being away from people and Julianne was very easy to communicate with. Note: The dam water used for washing/baths/showers was very brown. It didn't bother us much but its something to consider if you're thinking about booking. Otherwise we cannot recommend this place high enough!

Beautiful house & well decorated, located 3-5minutes from the local shops/restaurant’s which is convenient & only a few minutes walk from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay

My staff have stayed there multiple times... they love it.

I had a fabulous mini getaway with my family at Laura’s place and couldn't have been more impressed. The place is beautifully decorated with a modern beach vibe, it’s very clean and tidy. One of the best parts was the location. Just a short walk to the beach, and it’s also close to restaurants and cafes which made everything super convenient. This place is a fantastic, Laura and Insa were very responsive and friendly.

We had a wonderful time , it was very peaceful and relaxing. The position of the place was incredible, the ocean at our doorstep and our own private rock jetty with lots of fish to catch and we even were greeted at the jetty by a turtle. This gate at the top was a little tight, especially for a 4x4 we just squeezed through, perhaps making the gate a little wider would be easier for some. This is a place I will most definitely return too. Thank you Prue who was a great host.

The accomodation and hosts were lovely! Great communication and easy to find Fun / modern decor Has everything you would need already there Great location - super close to grocery store, cafes, beach, public transport I felt very welcomed and at home during my stay Would definitely recommend!

The house was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby cove was fun to paddle in on the stand up paddle boards provided, with a short walk to the shore. North Arm Cove is a peaceful suburb and there are some fire trails through the bush behind the house, but no coastal walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking very easy. We had fun using the billiard table and car racing simulator. It is a 20 minute drive to Coles, surf beaches, and excellent restaurants in Tea Gardens.
