Family-friendly vacation rentals in Fingal Bay

Travelled from Sydney and this was our perfect place en route. We all loved the pool and the beautiful gardens. The apartment was very spacious and spotless.

The cottage at the Wanderers retreat was great. Exactly what we were looking for to unwind and the hot tub certainly helped with that. The host was very responsive and met us to orientate us with the place. One Mile Beach is an easy walk and a spectacular spot.

We thoroughly loved our time at “The View”…and oh, what a view! Just spectacular from the front balcony. The property was spotlessly clean, and the King sized bed, super comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking equipment. The Sunbeam coffee maker was an added bonus. “ The View” is centrally located in Shoal Bay, right across from the jetty, and just a short drive (or walk, depending on your choice of bush walk), to a whole host of fabulous places to walk and explore. Do yourself a favour, and drive over to Sunset Beach at Soldiers Point on sunset. Breathtaking!!! Mark and Lea are generous hosts with outstanding communication. We’d love to come back again to further explore this region and to further enjoy Mark and Lea’s hospitality.

Beautiful place. My folks loved it. The House is Lovely and cozy. Backyard is Huge full of Plants and Tress. Calm and peaceful vibe at the stay. Absolutely recommend for a stay.

A great place in the middle of Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. Super easy to get around from here and a nice stay.

For a large group of adults like we had this place is the best! Make the most out of the outdoor bbq and ping pong table!

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment! The views of Fingal Bay were absolutely spectacular, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. We loved having the little grocery store and cafés just downstairs—so convenient. The underground parking and elevator access straight to the second-floor apartment were a huge plus. The large covered balcony was perfect for relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. We also appreciated how peaceful the area was while still being close to amenities. The only minor issue was sometimes the buses will idle at the bus stop near the apartment and if you have your doors open it can be a bit loud. But it’s only a couple of times per day we noticed it. Definitely recommend the apartment.

Place is amazing and very close to everything. Highly recommend to anyone

private and peaceful space, only five mins from John Hunter. comfortable bed and place. had all that my partner and I required while visiting the John Hunter hospital. no regrets on booking and appreciate the hospitality provided to us. Stewart came across as caring,thoughtful and respectful during a difficult time.

Thank you Eva. We really enjoyed our stay. The house had a great layout with good sized rooms. Location was excellent, close to shops. Many thanks for having us.

The location is super close to beach and restaurants, the suburb is quiet we all like it. My furry friend also loves the beautiful yard. We will definitely book this wonderful spot again if we back to Shoal Bay!

Joanne is an amazing host. Thanks so much for making our stay so comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at Travis’s place. It was well situated and tidy.

Dj's place was cute cosy & comfortable. Location was absolutely amazing x we were after a place to relax and enjoy the views perfect.

Here's a refined version of your text: We had a fantastic time at Windmill! The place is spacious and was perfect for our group of four families. The backyard is amazing, with the pool being the main attraction. The large kitchen with everything you need leads to a nice covered balcony—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The beds were super comfy, and the location is excellent, with supermarkets and restaurants just a few minutes away. Tanya was a wonderful host, very communicative and a lovely person to talk to. Thanks for having us! :)

The accommodation was very comfortable and very well set up. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The location was quiet and peaceful yet not too far from the M1 which made it a perfect place to break my journey north. I could see that it would also be an excellent spot for a longer holiday since it is so well equipped and well located. Margeurite and her husband were lovely hosts yet respected my privacy. They were also kind enough to allow me to have my cavoodle inside. I would definitely stay again.

lovely spacious apartment in a good location, perfect for a family. BBQ area very good and pool ok. Janet was very helpful and responded very quickly to a small issue with the pool, great host.

Thank you for hosting an amazing weekend away. We had 2 families stay with ample space. We look forward to visiting again

We selected Ruth’s BnB based on availability and proximity to John Hunter Hosp. So very glad we did as we got an extremely flexible Hosp, air BnB that had a home feel and all the little nick nacks that you need in daily life that many BnBs don’t cover.

Simon’s place is simply amazing. Not only is a great house, in an amazing spot but It was equipped with everything anyone could ever possibly need. Simon was always available and responsive to any queries, and went the extra mile to find out more about our plans and interests so he could recommend activities or offer additions l help. I have stayed in plenty of Airbnb’s and I must say I think this tops them all, and no doubt I will be back.

Great place to stay in Nelson Bay - 10min walk to the town center, and a 5min walk down to the beach.

Tania was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions. The property was exactly as described, very clean and spacious. Nice gardens. Tania was very helpful with local information and suggestions. Would definitely recommend Tania and her lovely cottage.

The location of the apartment was perfect. Only a quick walk down to the marina and bay via a shortcut along a path. An absolutely beautiful view of the water and sunset from the apartment. The apartment was clean and easy to find following the detailed instructions provided We had 2 cars, one with a boat and was great to have a garage space for 1 car and easy street parking directly across the road for the car with the boat Thanks for a great stay! :)

Amanda’s place was great to visit. The place was neat and clean. Watching sunset from living room was a bonus. We would love to visit again.
