Great hosts! Top location!

Steve and Jackie really came through for us after the huge storms in Port Stephens left us without power. Such great hosts! Despite the wild weather the location of the house is perfect to enjoy Shoal Bay on a budget. Highly recommended!

My wee dog loved the big yard and we appreciated it was fully enclosed. Loved our stay - some more chairs in lounge wouldn’t go amiss and mildly annoying taking own sheets and towels but other than that fantastic

About the host

Hosted by Steve Barratt

Host profile image
Jackie & Stephen have owned the property since 2010. We love Shoal Bay and the Port Stephens district for swimming, cycling, golf, walking and all the other things you can do outside.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property to one day eventually to retire to Shoal Bay

What makes this property unique

Short walk (250m) to Shoal Bay Country and other eating venues. Easy access to both the calm waters of Port Stephens or the surf beaches of Fingal Bay and Box Beach.
