Holiday Rental Specialists are pleased to present Gidgets on Gretel which is ideal for families with pets.

This property offers linen with beds made and contactless entry with key safes for your convenience.

Welcome to Gidgets on Gretel where all your cares will melt away, as you settle into your groovy beach abode. This simple, but thoughtfully curated beach-side hideaway, nestles between Little Beach and Shoal Bay beach and is not more than 300 metres from either. Relax in the leafy backyard that leads you directly onto the footpath to the beach. Rinse off under the outdoor shower when you’ve had enough of surf and sand and enjoy a family BBQ while you chill out for the evening.

The duplex sits on the ground floor and has been furnished with casual comfort and relaxation in mind. A well-stocked kitchen will delight you with its vintage treasures and has everything you need to cook up a feast. Enjoy your spoils in the eat-in kitchen area or head outside to the outdoor setting and take in the serenity. Two good-sized bedrooms, both with queens will accommodate your group and there is a day bed in the living area that can sleep an additional guest or child. A light-filled bathroom with walk-in shower and a laundry completes the picture.

Gidgets on Gretel is in an enviable location set between two beaches yet an easy stroll to the cafes, bars and restaurants of either Shoal Bay or Nelson Bay. Just around the corner is Nelson Bay RSL or for something a little more sophisticated is the wonderful Little Beach Boat House. Here you can enjoy drinks and Tapas downstairs on the jetty, overlooking the gin clear waters of Little Beach or more formal dining upstairs where chef Ben Hall will delight your taste buds.

For the adrenalin junkies head out to the sand dunes for an afternoon of action-packed adventure or the endless ocean vistas of Birubi Beach, One Mile or Boat Harbour. Take advantage of the many day trips leaving from Port Stephens and take a tour of the Hunter district's wineries and craft brewers followed by a delectable lunch. Whether you’re seeking adventure or just somewhere to chill and watch the world go by, Gidget’s on Gretel is perfectly positioned to make the most of your time in wonderful Port Stephens.

Christine F
It was an easy experience in all aspects of our stay.
April 2024

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The accommodation was spotless, well appointed, and excellent for elderly dogs and their humans. A pleasant walk to the beach and equal distance to both Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. Great communication and support if things go wrong. Highly recommended.

Lovely relaxed beach home
March 2024

We had a lovely time. The place was comfortable and very welcoming and with many lovely touches to make the stay enjoyable, including leaving little treats and toys for the doggies to enjoy! Great location for walking around - out the back onto walking paths, and easy walk to some many places! Only downside was that the bedroom windows were overlooked by the units next door, & which let in light at night. Outdoor awnings or shades would make this 5 ✬! We would book again.
