We had a fantastic time staying at this Driftwood! The large outdoor area was perfect for the kids to run around and play. Every bedroom had its own toilet and shower, which made it so comfortable for everyone. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed, and the sunsets were absolutely beautiful. Communication with the owner was fantastic, making the whole experience easy and stress-free. We would definitely recommend this place to others and can’t wait to come back!

We loved our 4 nights at Driftwood. The house was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated.
There was plenty for the kids to do with the outdoor space and board games.
The veranda is the perfect place to relax and soak in the view and winter sun.

Perfect choice for our extended family celebration weekend. We lived and cooked on the fabulous deck and front lawn overlooking the bay. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated in a relaxed coastal style. Very quiet residential location with a nice walk down to the jetty cafe and lunch at Julios near by, so we avoided the busier parts of Port Stephens.

This property is fantastic for families or couple. A great vista from the back to Port Stephens, along with the cubbyhouse for the kid and the firepit by the water. The property is very open plan with plenty of lounging space so that guest can have their own little nooks. The kitchen is well equipped with all you could need and the welcome hamper was a fantastic treat. We could not be happier with this property; one of the best we have stayed in. Communication was fantastic and the proximity to Bannisters, other restaurants and shops were just what we wanted. We can't rate this property high enough.

We had an amazing stay at Driftwood Cottage, location and set-up was perfect for our family. We have booked again for next year!!!Not to be published section: We would howver like to feedback a couple of things. The Stove top is effectively not working. The burners are very inconsistent and as such we found it difficult to cook for large groups of people. Also in case they didn't realise the Fan over the BBQ area was broken also. Nothing too major but sometimes people don't feed back and so the owners never know! All in all though we had the most amazing time. ThanksRhi

Driftwood Cottage has a beautiful outlook to the west from the house and large verandah with a huge reserve down to the water's edge. We were a party of 11 family members aged from 1.5 years to 71 years and the cottage easily catered for us all. Gorgeous sunsets, an easy walk through the reserve or along the foreshore to the park, beach and play equipment. It was an easy drive to visit other beautiful beaches at Shoal Bay and Fingal Bay. The owners very kindly provided a large number of items in the starter pack and also a gorgeous welcoming hamper of wine and treats which were delicious. Mostly we cooked our dinners, however, the last night we dined at The Deck Cafe at Soldiers Point where there was a sunset view and delicious dinners. On our second last night we watched a koala cuddled into a gum with its eyes closed which was an incredible treat for us all. We enjoyed a perfect week and will definitely return - perhaps 10 days next time! We would happily recommend Driftwood Cottage to anyone wanting a peaceful holiday whilst being close to all the attractions of Port Stephens including many lovely stores in Nelson Bay. Cheers!!
