Tanilba Bay House | Port Stephens Paradise Retreat

4 Bedroom House in Tanilba Bay

Entire 4 bedroom house for rent in Port Stephens, only a 2 hour drive from Sydney. The house is situated in a quiet location in Tanilba Bay and is opposite native bush. It is less than 5 mins walk to a koala reserve and the Tilligerry Habitat centre, which includes boardwalks through a picturesque nature reserve running adjacent to the local beach.
Tanilba Bay is a beautiful calm and shallow swimming beach particularly at high tide and a great sandy beach for children to play on or for strolling along. There are a number of parks along the waterfront reserve which offer excellent amenities including picnic tables, BBQ facilities, children’s playgrounds and boat ramps. It is a perfect place for boating, fishing, kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding.
If you are looking for a quiet getaway, away from the main tourist hubs and want to see koalas in the wild and other Australian wildlife then this is the place for you. If you’re lucky you can spot koalas, dolphins, sea turtles, pelicans, sea eagles, swans, echidnas, frilled-neck lizards, kookaburras, black cockatoos, galahs, rainbow lorikeets and many other beautiful native birds.
But still the property is close to all the action - only 20 mins from Newcastle airport, 30 mins to local wineries and Murray’s Brewery, and also to the Stockton sand dunes and other amenities and activities of Port Stephens. The Hunter Valley and its many wineries is less than an hour away. So enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding area or drive half an hour to all the activities of Nelson Bay or Shoal Bay which include Dolphin and Whale Watching cruises, 4WD tours on the Stockton Sand Dunes, sandboarding on the dunes, parasailing over the blue waters of Port Stephens, the water park at Nelson Bay marina, camel rides, toboggan park, go karting, movie theatre etc. Or visit Oakvale Farm and Fauna World 10 mins away or Fighterworld at Williamtown, near the airport.

Summary: Our family had a truly beautiful time at this property. The location couldn't have been better for us with two small children. The beach is perfect for young kids – safe, shallow, and calm. But what truly made our stay special was the outstanding service we received from Sandra. She's an absolutely amazing host! We were welcomed with a lovely selection of food, a freshly baked cake, and even toys for the kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. The property itself was spotless—clean, tidy, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Sandra was also excellent at communicating with us before and during our stay, and her recommendations for local activities were spot-on. The location is conveniently close to Nelson Bay and other beaches, but we found ourselves drawn back to the nearby bay most days because of its peaceful atmosphere—it was exactly what we were looking for.

Summary: The property was even better than we had expected - so comfortable and the owner went out of her way to make our stay so comfortable. Overall a fantastic place to stay.

David H. Dec 6, 2023 03:53:56 PM

Summary: We stayed just for 2 nights to prepare for and attend my son's wedding. The house was perfect as it was spacious and had a brilliantly stocked kitchen. Bathrooms immaculately clean. Highlight was the lovely host - we did not meet face to face but she was in regular contact to check on s and give us info, provided a beautiful selection of breakfast foods and a few extra unexpected treats which were an bonus... I won't spoil the surprise though.

Summary: Sandra was so accommodating & went above & beyond to make the property feel like a home away from home. From a home baked cake, hot out the oven, little Easter gifts for the girls, chocolate & wine and food in the fridge & cupboards, it honestly felt like home. The rooms were all fresh & clean, everything was bright & simply perfect. Everything set up wonderfully. Can’t rate this property enough, everything you could ask for and more. The beach is a 5 minute walk over the road, with amazing walking trails , beach walks & more. As well as the shops are just around the corner. We had the best time away with the family and look forward to future stays at Sandra’s amazing holiday house. Highly recommend ☺️

Summary: We stayed there with friends. The house is the cleanest property I've seen. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. The host is very nice and accommodating. I cannot fault the property itself. Unfortunately the nearby beach is very small and there is a limited choice of things to do in the area, so we drove for approx 30 mins to Nelson Bay and Anna Bay for some good beaches, shops and restaurants.

Orly L. Aug 1, 2022 09:00:07 PM

Summary: This was an exemplary rental experience. Sandra was professional, communicative, responsive and extremely hospitable. The residence was impeccable and her personal touches were evident. Sandra was most generous in the way she stocked and equiped the house with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended.

Summary: We were so happy to stay in Sandra’s place for the family holiday. It was very clean, and spacious. Well decorated, looked much better than the photos. Sandra was so kind and gave us a homemade cake, and lovely gifts for the Easter surprise. My daughters were so excited with these lovely gifts. It is so close to the beach and we enjoyed the most excellent sunset on the first day we arrived. We would definitely recommend Sandra’s gem to my friends and would come back again.
