About this property

Bayviews Bed and Breakfast Port Stephens

Welcome to:- "The Bays Best Kept Secret". Since opening December 2002 Bayviews B&B still offers $90.00 per room per night accommodation...!!

A purpose-built B&B & art gallery/studio opposite Cromarty Bay Road tree-lined beachfront reserve at Soldiers Point, Port your'll discover the quiet part of the 'Bay', as well as Australia's renowned blue-water wonderland & dolphin/whale watch capital, all just a 2 hour easy drive north of Sydney, NSW.

Refurbished January 2023 Bayviews is still consistently ranked in the regions "TOP 10 B&B's" and continues to offer star accommodation for up to 2 guests with queen size bedroom, private bathroom and breakfast/lounge room, all with polished timber floors and fans throughout a smoke-free interior. Guests can enjoy relaxing outdoors in tropical landscaped surroundings, with parkland all around and Cromarty Bay right across the road with no passing road traffic... just peace and quiet... yet the property is still just minutes to all the regions attractions, beaches, shops & amenities...

Bayviews is one of the few B&B's that still accept one night bookings (without a two night penalty)....Our tariff of $90 PER ROOM PER NIGHT, (including private bathroom, continental breakfast, off-road parking & all charges) remains the SAME GREAT VALUE as per our December '02 opening. We're not suitable however,for children under teen years,

Cromarty Bay Road, Soldiers Point, is regarded as the 'quiet' part of the "Bay" and certainly not affected by the hustle and bustle of Christmas, Easter, and other holiday periods... With tree-lined beachfront reserve right across the road, (great fishing) and national park-lands either side..Bayviews also makes a great place to 'base' your Port Stephens stay...We're just 2 hours easy drive north of Sydney, with easy access to the Hunter wineries and vineyards, Barrington Tops rainforest, Morpeth town markets, and, Newcastle and Maitland is only 30-45 minutes away.

Check out our ratings & reviews online, and keep us in mind If your heading north or south on the Pacific Highway, as we make a ideal stopover with quick and easy access to/from the freeway... And also now that the new Hunter Expressway cross-link is opened, if your heading west across the state...

We're minutes to:- Horizons NSW Open Golf Course, marinas, sand & surf beaches, cinemas, restaurants, Bowling/RSL Clubs, Dolphin/Whalewatch cruises...4WD sand dune board surfing & fishing...
Great day trips to:- Morpeth markets and antique shops (Australia's first inland port). Hunter Valley wineries & vineyards, para-gliding/hot-air ballooning, ferry rides to Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest...FighterTown museum at Williamstown, scuba-diving, Barramundi farm and restaurant...

George and Chris have a lovely home. Clean, beautifully presented, breakfast was great ad they are very welcoming. The only drawback would be the steep driveway for those who have mobility issues.

Accommodation was lovely, beautifully decorated and so clean.
Accommodation was lovely, beautifully decorated and so clean. We had the use of the small lounge area and bedroom, with our own bathroom. There was an internal stairway that linked the owners, but we were given our own space and felt very comfortable in the accommodation. Continental breakfast was also fantastic, with lots of choice and more than we could eat. The owners are lovely and spent time welcoming us and sharing their local knowledge of the area. We highly recommend this property, it is excellent value for money and a lovely, relaxed location – we will be back. Thanks George and Christine.

Lovely B&B
Christine and George’s place is a great base from which to explore the stunning Port Stephens area. The full downstairs of the property is used for B&B guests - it offers ample room decorated to a very high standard. Croissants in the mornings was a lovely touch. Thank you and would love to stay again!

Linda and I had a delightful and enjoyable stay with Christine and George. The attention to detail was impressive and we appreciated the various treats. Very comfortable bed and spacious floor to our selves. We also enjoyed the many chats but they also respected our space which was reciprocal. Thankyou both for such an happy stay. cheers David & Linda NZ

We will be back. George was very helpful and nothing was left to chance George even had the heater on when we got home from dinner. loved having a whole floor to ourselves. Waking up to a fresh muffin and full continental breakfast was a real treat.

Aussie Gem Hidden in Sweet Port Stephens
For my first time using VRBO platform, I feel I struck gold with this property. The hosts George and Christine were the talent behind designing, building and decorating this fabulous spot. They were charming to meet, chat with and after giving me the tour of the place, they also set me off on a grand adventure of the area starting with Tomaree Summit. My only regret is that I could not stay longer, but will for sure be going back and recommend for clean, cool and wonderful place to stay. I can't thank them enough for the experience.

A night away
We were made feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Chris is an exceptional artist and ever wall is tastefully covered with her work. George and Christine were extremely friendly and made our stay very enjoyable' The only minor downside was the steepness of the driveway which for older folk could cause an access issue. Not withstanding that I'm 84 and with a little help coped quite well.
