Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Salamander 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.

Booked as accommodation for a friends wedding at Stanley Park. Was a great for a few couples, had a very comfortable, family holiday house feel. Well stocked kitchen and BBQ. A great stay!

Highest recommendation possible for Armando & his gorgeous home. We had issues with another airbnb & Armando was very understanding & accommodating last minute. Our teens were surprised & delighted to find A had left some chocolate bars for our arrival, a thoughtful treat after our holiday disruption. The peaceful and well thought out gardens, complete with water feature & large goldfish really are amazing. The home & beds are very comfortable, tastefully decorated. The ducted air conditioning made the difference in the heat, with sleeping and during the day when we were resting after being out at the beaches, shopping 5 mins up the road at Westfield Kotara, op shopping at various vintage 2nd hand stores, finding bubble tea or visiting Taronga Zoo in Sydney. There's so much to do and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Having 2 showers with toilets & a bath is always helpful. This home truly is amazing, as is Armando. Grab some cooking oil, your food & luggage & enjoy this home!

Lovely place just off the highway, was great for our little family and two dogs! Hosts were friendly but private. House was clean and provided everything we need, great little backyard for the dogs. Shops were just walking distance - good location!

Thanks Angie for hosting my workers again! Your property is amazing, they couldn't believe their luck when they checked in. The location is fabulous, and the property was exactly what they needed after a long day at work. We look forward to staying with you again soon! Thankyou

Claudia's place was absolutely perfect for our one-night stay! Wish we could have stayed longer. It was exactly what we needed - a quiet, comfortable, and relaxing haven. The space was spacious and spotlessly clean, and we loved the thoughtful and stylish decor. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely recommend Claudia's place to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

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

Great place in a great location, a lazy stroll from the Newcastle Baths & lots of eateries & things to do nearby.

Perfect spot so close to the beach, cafes and busy Darby street without being noisy. Apartment was very clean and comfy. Much more spacious than the place seems in the photos but still had a homely feel. We were very happy here and would stay again!

Donna's place was fantastic for our family get together after visiting Newcastle for the day. It is in a great location, close to the beach with a great coffee shop down stairs. The apartment is spacious with great views. Donna is a very responsive host and extremely flexible with check in and check out. We will be back.

Great stay recently in Shoal Bay. The place is perfectly located near all the local shops & restaurants. Easy to get around to other nearby beaches as well. Robyn was a fantastic host, really responsive & sent us suggestions of things to do in the area. We also left something behind & Robyn was so great at getting it back to us. Would highly recommend.

Great location and easy process. Would recommend.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Mulubinba. The apartment was clean and tidy, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed having coffee on the balcony and watching the birds. Darby Street is close by and offers some high quality food and shops. We would definitely stay again.

We had a great short stay. Incredible view from this cosy and clean apartment. Love this part of the city and walked to great food and swam in the ocean across the road. Lots of thoughtful touches from the hosts who were very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Bianca’s. The location was perfect, easily walkable to cafés, restaurants, harbour walk, beach, lighthouse, etc. The apartment was very well supplied with dishes and appliances. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, having a drink, and listening to and watching the birds at dusk. We had a kookaburra that sat each evening on a branch right by the balcony. We would definitely stay again.

This place was incredible! This holiday unit was beautiful, clean, ocean view, spacious and with all the amenities available including the pool and gym- I could not recommend this place enough. Lorraine was nice and really easy to communicate with, Thankyou for letting us stay at your place 😊

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.

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.

A wonderful place to stay and visit. Clean house with all the amenities. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

We really enjoyed our stay. The view is lovely, the apartment clean, comfortable and close to everything. The hosts were flexible and had quick responses to questions. Would recommend

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 🙂
