  • Hello! We are looking at your property for stay in January. We have three children, I was wondering if you could provide a fold up bed for the youngest or if the sofa was a sofa bed? Many thanks Laura

    Hello Laura, Yes, the sofa in the main living area is a sofa bed. We will be at the property on the weekend and can take some pictures of the sofa bed if you would like? Thank you Dolphin Shores

We wanted a holiday place to share with others, where you had complete relaxation in an idyllic location but with the option of things to see and do. This wonderful location provides guests with the opportunity to experience their own little piece of Australian paradise right at their back door!
Located right along a much sought after stretch of 'the Bay' waterfront (Port Stephen's). Neighbouring luxury waterfront properties are occupied by both permanent local residents and holidaying guests exploring the area. What makes this location unique is its natural beauty and quiet location, whilst remaining only 5 minutes drive to either Salamander Bay - Square or Nelson Bay for shopping and dining. Geographically Corlette is the most centrally located for all the listed tourist activities in Port Stephens. We have accommodated many guests attending weddings at The Anchorage, just a 6-minute paved walk home. There is a corner shop and Thai restaurant 100mters away. Your own car/hire car is best. There is no Uber in Port Stephens. There are several Taxi companies. Some of the large clubs (eg. Shoal Bay Country Club) have minivan pickups and drop-offs for guests who would like to drink.
