Baydream on the Beach - With Breathtaking Water Views

Boasting breathtaking water views over Port Stephens harbour, this property sleeps up to 10 guests (max 8 adults), is a short stroll to The Anchorage, and is only a few minutes drive to Nelson Bay's CBD and marina.

This contemporary duplex enjoys penthouse position occupying the entire top floor and taking full advantage of the panoramic sea vista. The white sands of this pretty curved beach are just meters from the property, separated only by a lovely grassy reserve. This location and beach is perfect for families with young children. The sheltered harbour beach with calm waters often has dolphins swimming close by the shoreline. The grassy reserve, to the right of the holiday home, meanders around the coastline for a few hundred meters until it comes to another beach, and you can continue onto Nelson Bay. Less than 100m to the left of the home is a waterfront playground full of kids play equipment, and a paved path that winds its way through the waterfront reserve for until it reaches another delightful kids playground and the famous Anchorage.

Sliding glass doors open onto the outdoor deck where you can relax on the comfy outdoor furniture and use the BBQ to cook up bacon and egg brekkies or fish you've caught from the beach.

Bedroom 4 can also act as a second living area, as it has a TV and sofa bed (which can sleep up to 2 kids) and two long single beds, and it has direct access onto its own balcony.

  This was such a beautiful holiday home. The location was superb, right on the water and the home itself was just beautiful. Very clean and spacious. Beautiful amenities. The only thing that was a let down, was the laundry/ washing machine/dryer situation. The washer/dryer was downstairs which wasn’t an issue. But we were 2 families staying at this home and the washer dryer could only hold a load of 8kg/ 4kg. We had to wash each day as kids and us were in and out of the water and this washer/dryer machine was not big enough for our families. We ended up having to go to the laundromat to do our washing which was inconvenient. If there as a washer and a dryer separate to each other that were a little bigger, this problem would have been resolved and this holiday home would be a 10/10. Everything else was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

  The whole team from Stay Port Stephens make our family holidays an absolute pleasure. From prompt and attentive service to a seamless check in and out experience, the stay is always enjoyable - and it’s our third time staying at Baydream on the Beach. The property was immaculate and offered everything we needed - kitchen supplies and space for a toddler to frolic. The proximity to the water was wonderful. There is a private beach 10 metres away to go for swimming or kayaking.

  We enjoyed our stay with the family. Clean and well equipped apartment and good location for us as we wished to be best near the Corlette Marina. The only thing to keep in mind is that the fourth bedroom does not achieve darkness as it has skylights with no coverings. Thanks for a lovely stay.
