Swan Cottage Port Stephens Waterfront Solace

Located on the waterfront at Port Stephens, you'll enjoy breathtaking views across the bay and laidback indoor-outdoor spaces. Wake to the calming sounds of singing kookaburras and come evening, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco on the private patio before gathering around the fire pit and relishing in some amazing stargazing. Equipped with water activities and plenty of games, take the kayaks out for a paddle, have a go at fishing or challenge each other at table tennis and badminton.
With its light and airy living spaces, contemporary furnishings and family-friendly backyard, this recently renovated retreat will be your home away from home at Port Stephens.

Inside, a spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, with floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to pour in and offer spectacular views overlooking the bay. A sofa and chaise invite you to unwind with a movie, hook up your device to the sound system and play some tunes, or simply kick back with your favourite book. At the back of the cottage, a second lounge room offers a cosy corner sofa with a collection of board games and books.

The modern kitchen has everything you need, including a fridge, freezer, oven, stove, kettle, and toaster, plus the essentials such as pots, pans, crockery and utensils. Work from home and enjoy casual meals at the breakfast bar or dine together around a nine-seater table setting offering sweeping nature views.

If you’d prefer to dine outside, a spacious back patio offers a dining table and a comfy outdoor sofa. Fire up the BBQ or light the fire pit and enjoy the glittering stars clearly visible in the night sky. There’s also a cosy bay-facing setting for two on the front deck, a tranquil spot to enjoy a morning cuppa as kookaburras, swans and even dolphins greet you if you're up early.

Reconnect with loved ones, making us of the activities provided — including a badminton set, table tennis, flip toss, a volleyball, soccer ball, and rugby ball, plus fishing rods and kayaks for a day of fun on the water.

Accommodating up to nine guests, two well-appointed bedrooms offer double-size beds, a third bedroom includes a double and single combination bunk bed, while the second living room sofa converts into another double. The main bathroom and master ensuite both feature a shower and all the essentials including soap, shampoo, conditioner.

Additional conveniences include fast Wi-Fi, a high chair, secure parking on the premises and free street parking 24/7, laundry facilities including a washing machine and dryer, and ceiling fans and portable heating throughout the home.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

We are pet-friendly - please add the number of pets you're travelling with and let us know about your furry friend at the time of booking. We’ll reach out to charge a standard pet fee of $100.

Peaceful and pretty

We had a lovely stay at the property. The location was peaceful and very pretty and the locals were really friendly. Great for a peaceful getaway, fishing and tranquility. The nearest shops were about 24 minutes away which is fine if you don't mind driving. Some of the appliances were a little tricky to work out. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and did not mind travelling to local beaches. My son really enjoyed the fishing and the view was amazing.

Amazing property, very beautiful view. Just a few things that we didn’t like, like there’s no aircon and the filtered water was dirty but besides these two things the property was amazing.
