Beautiful location and furnishings

Had a wonderful stay at Castaway which was located only 5 mins away from the heart of Nelson’s Bay. As soon as we walked in, we knew we had made the right choice as it was amazingly furnished. Helen and Marcus, were really helpful before and during our stay. No faults with the property at all and had a great time, thank you!

Cute Beach Hideaway

Our family enjoyed our weekend here immensely. The home is exactly as stated with modern kitchen and appliances, bathroom large and clean, decor is fresh and bedding very comfortable. The house was immaculately clean and bright. It’s only a couple of minutes walk to Bagnall Beach and a short walk into Nelson Bay. Our hosts left us a welcome gift also!!. Would thoroughly recommend staying here. Thanks Marcus and Helen.

About the host

Host profile image
A little about us.. We are both from the UK and have lived in Sydney for almost a decade. We have always loved the beach, but Port Stephens means much more than that for us. It is a place where we feel totally relaxed, where we can escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney and enjoy a slower pace of life.

Why they chose this property

After many trips here, we finally decided to take the plunge and start an Airbnb of our own. As soon as we saw Castaway we fell in love with it. After much hard work, we are excited to share it with you. We hope you feel completely comfortable here and enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

It’s a unique and tranquil escape, perfect for family and friends close to the beach and all the essential amenities.
