    Staff went well out of their way to accommodate us and make our stay as pleasant as possible. The location was in front of the Sand Dunes, which my daughter loved. It also felt nice and secluded. You could even walk to local shops and restaurants...

  • Iwan

    Quiet and leafy complex and very friendly staff. Our cabin comes with under cover car port which is quite uncommon. Bed is comfortable and the bottled filtered water dispenser is a nice touch, there is even a clothesline at the back of the cabin....

    Location was great. We walk to the shark rescue experience. Children had lots of fun in the pool. It was quiet at night even with young people around. Beds were comfy and we had a great time. They provided drinking water which we found really handy.

Neighbourhood information

Locally we have Anna Bay shops where I highly recommend the local bakery, butcher, Thai Resturant, LJ's takeaway and Anna Bay Tavern for a great pub meal. Anna Bay is the gateway to the sand dunes which is a must see and do when in Port Stephens. Birubi Beach is our closest beach and at the surf club there is a beautiful cafe called Crest which offers amazing breakfasts and lunches over looking the 32km stretch of beach and sand dunes
