Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Hunter Region

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 stayed for a week and loved it. The house is so peaceful and perfect for chilling out. Avoca Beach and Copacabana Beach are close by and have everything you need. The house was spotless and Henk gave thorough instructions and hints when checking in. I loved that there weren’t signs and instructions all through the house like some other airbnbs we have stayed at - it made it feel more like home.

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.

Our party of 5 including grandparents and 2 yr old son had a lovely stay at Michelle's. we stayed for 4 nights and spent the mornings at the beach which is just around the corner and lazy afternoons in the pool. The garden and house are well maintained and very cosy for a family trip away. I'd recommend stocking up on food as there are currently no shops/cafes at Pearl beach, but it was handy having a coffee cart turn up next door in the mornings. Even though there is construction building next door, my 2 year old son loved watching the machines and was disappointed when they weren't working on the weekend！Thanks again for sharing your home with us Michelle, we will be back！

Great host and good stay for the work team.

Lovely location, house is comfortable, relaxed and perfect for a beach holiday. Our dogs loved the back yard and the dog beach. Ceiling fans were essential as there is no air conditioning. We had a great stay and will be back.

This cottage was very comfortable and such a lovely place to stay. It’s close to everything and easy to access. The cottage is still kept in a lovely condition without being too modern, very old world charm. We loved it and had a more comfortable stay in Cessnock.

We had a really good stay . It was kid friendly and Mardi responded very promptly to our needs . We would stay there again .

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!

We had the most wonderful stay here at Bills! You honestly couldn’t get a better spot. Right across the road from the water and within walking distance to the main part of town. The views are spectacular and the rooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable beds. We will absolutely be back here again next year!

Great place, the apartment was cosy and clean and had everything you need, including iron and hair dryer. Peter is quick to reply and easy to deal with. For those who are getting here on foot, please keep in mind it is the Hill, so a steep walk and can be a bit hard when you are loaded with backpacks and bags. Other than that, cannot fault the place. Would recommend.

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!

The apartment as in a great location, close to lots of restaurants and cafes and the local esplanade. It was really well appointed and super cozy. For a one bedroom apartment it didn’t feel cramped at all.

We had a wonderful stay at PiperApt. It is cosy and extremely comfortable. Melinda has done a fantastic job in styling the apt. It is well appointed with everything you could possibly need during your stay. It is in a quiet street and an easy walking distance to the CBD. Close to cafes , restaurants and pubs. We certainly would stay again when in Bathurst and recommended it highly.

We had a great few days at Tom and Lindy’s condo near Flynn beach. They were really helpful with local food recommendations which was great since we got in later than expected and didn’t want to cook. We also cooked there and it’s a great little kitchen! Great walkability to the beach and coastal walk, which we took all the way to town and back! We also walked to the Koala Sanctuary which was a great stop too. Lindy and Tom were very responsive, shared ideas of things to do with the kids when it was rainy (thanks to TC Alfred), and offered to have us stay longer, but unfortunately we had plans to see friends further south. Highly recommend this great condo! It’s cozy and Lindy and Tom are helpful and proactive hosts!

I've stayed here a few times and love the unit. Great location, great host

Perfect little place for a quick getaway for 2! The accom was beautiful and super clean and the beach entry was just at the end of the road. Great location and very convenient! Hope to come back and stay again ☺️

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

Loved our stay in this perfectly located apartment. Beautifully decorated and super comfortable with a coastal vibe the apartment was within easy walking distance of cafes, beaches and the spectacular coastal walk. The hosts accommodated our request for an early check in with instructions which were easy to follow. We loved relaxing in the comfy lounge area and enjoyed the views from the balcony. Highly recommend this apartment for a holiday stay.

Leah and Mark’s apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Shoal Bay, with everything you need just steps away—restaurants, cafés (ideal for your morning coffee and cake), IGA supermarket, newsagent, chemist, ice cream shop and Aussie Bob’s Fish and Chips just around the corner. One of the highlights is the private balcony with stunning views over the bay—a perfect spot to sit back, relax and soak it all in. Mark was polite, responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Check-in was smooth and easy, thanks to the clear instructions provided. The apartment itself was spotless upon arrival, featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom with a spa and a super comfortable king-size bed. Our stay at “The View” was truly enjoyable and memorable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return, and we highly recommend both the apartment and the wonderful hosts, Leah and Mark.

We had a wonderful stay at Andrew & Gregg’s. The condo was immaculately clean with comfortable bed, quality linen and it was perfectly appointed with everything we needed for our stay. They went above and beyond when I alerted them to the fact that I may have misplaced my engagement ring, which I thankfully found. The homemade cookies and handwritten note to welcome us was a lovely, thoughtful touch and I would most definitely recommend a stay at this fabulous Air BnB. Thank you for having us!

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 🙂

All the wonderful reviews are accurate so I won't repeat them except to say that this has been added to our short list of places we would love to return to. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked for guests that want to cook. And a welcome basket was supper appreciated. We did have a car but with a bit of research into what has been said on this by Emily and others, and an ability and willingness to walk including hills, you could do this without the cost of a car. The buses are great! Even with a car, we ended up taking the bus to Manly to catch the ferry to Sydney for the day. Saved on parking in Manly for sure! We especially enjoyed the lovely sea view, walking to the rock swim pools at Whale Beach (and driving to others to swim) and finding great places to explore, walk and eat.

Helen’s apartment was lovely, and impeccably clean. My daughter and I walked to the beach very easily, and to town and back every day…. Sometimes a few times a day! Helen was a wonderful host; conscientious, friendly and very helpful. She is a gem of a host
