Perfect Spot
We loved our 5 night stay here despite the weather being terrible. The property is in an ideal spot- quiet location, across the road from the beach and walking distance to local shops. The home itself is clean with great water views and contains everything you could possibly need for your stay. Great communication from the host too! We will definitely be back again.

Peaceful stay by the bay
Great set up for us with kids and grandparents. Its 2 levels with spiral stairs between, and a small leafy backyard. The bay is just across the road with a nice little beach at low tide, and much quieter than Nelson Bay which we liked. Beautiful sunsets and great bird watching from the deck - we saw ospreys, sea eagles parrots, cormorants, pelicans and black swans.

The perfect place to relax!
We had such a great time at Salamanda Bay! The pictures don't do justice to the spectacular view of the water! The house was very clean, well stocked and had plenty of space for people to sit back and relax. We also loved its proximity to the other beaches in the area, especially the snorkelling reserve at Fly Point! Elliot was a fantastic host, and we couldn't recommend his place more highly!

Salamander Bay vacay
We really enjoy our short vacay ! The property was very clean and located in a quiet neighbourhood. The view from the balcony is amazing . House is very well devided, enough room for everyone and the ground floor area is perfectly design for kids . The only downside was we couldn’t swim at the beach across the road from the house … thus, we explored the beaches in the area. Fingal bay beach is the winner !! Thank you to Elliott and Karen for letting us stay at your property! Eva

Perfect Family Getaway
Just what we needed, perfect beach home overlooking the water in a quiet suburb. Clean, comfortable, communication with the owner was great and waking up to sunrises was amazing. We have an 18month child and not a single worry about it being unsafe

Relaxing and convenient
The house is perfect for 6 persons wanting to discover the area. The views are amazing and the bay is beautiful, especially at sunset. Also close to all the Port Stephens area activities. The house is fully equipped so you don't have to worry about anything. Great value for the price, highly recommended.

This house is very comfortable and great for two families as there are two lounges - one is downstairs and ideal for the kids. We have already booked to return in the summer so we can take advantage of the lovely big balcony and the BBQ. The owners are extremely helpful and did everything they could do ensure our stay was enjoyable.

The perfect place for a relaxing break - far enough from the hustle & bustle while close to everything we needed.The bedding configuration wont suit everyone but was ideal for us with the teenagers downstairs. We'll certainly keep this place in mind for future holidays.

This property is highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a relaxing weekend beside the sea in style and comfort! This is an ideal place for a small group and is great value for money. Would love to go back when the sun is shining, however the wet weather didn't rain on our parade and it was the perfect excuse to maximise our time inside this lovely home.

About the host

Hosted by Elliott Nicholls

Host profile image
We are a Sydney based couple, now mostly retired, with 3 grown up children. We are very active and love to travel - all over Australia and overseas.

Why they chose this property

We love the water and have always been beach goers, swimmers, surfers, kayakers and sailors. Port Stephens has great access to surf beaches, bay beaches and rivers - and this house combines views with easy access to the water. We couldn't resist and have never regretted we bought it.

What makes this property unique

The house is compact, but very comfortable for up to 6 (familes or couples). It has a great view and is a stones throw from the beach.
