Kingsley Shore's - Pool and Heated Spa with Ocean Views
Escape to this magnificent seven-bedroom, four-bathroom coastal retreat in the exclusive oceanside suburb of Boat Harbour, Port Stephens. Showcasing breathtaking ocean views from every level, this beautifully renovated residence combines elegant coastal style with luxurious comfort, delivering the ultimate holiday experience for families and groups seeking space, sophistication and unforgettable moments by the sea.
Designed to feel like your own private resort, the home features a spectacular swimming pool and heated spa, complete with swim jets and ambient mood lighting—perfect for long afternoons in the sun or relaxing evenings under the stars. Expansive indoor and outdoor entertaining areas provide the ideal setting for gathering together, with a stunning kitchen servery opening onto a balcony with BBQ facilities overlooking the pool and sparkling ocean beyond.
Poolside, guests can unwind on the sun lounges or enjoy alfresco dining in the covered outdoor entertaining area, featuring timber bench seating and a large dining table.
Important Access Information: Please be aware that the driveway at this property is very steep. Pedestrian stairs are available alongside the driveway; however, guests with limited mobility should consider this carefully before booking.
Important Bathroom Information: Please note that there are no bathroom facilities on the top floor, where the games room and two bedrooms are located. Guests using these bedrooms will need to use the bathroom facilities on the level below.
The first floor offers beautifully appointed open-plan living, including a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, dining area and luxurious lounge with sumptuous seating and an impressive 85-inch television. A separate media room and second rumpus room provide multiple spaces for relaxation and entertainment, allowing everyone to spread out and unwind.
Also located on this level is a private studio-style bedroom with separate external access. It features a king bed, ensuite, split-system air conditioning, ceiling fan, television, mini fridge and kettle—ideal for grandparents, guests seeking additional privacy or couples wanting their own retreat.
Ascend to the second floor, where the extraordinary master suite spans the full width of the home. This luxurious sanctuary features dual showers and vanities, a freestanding bath, private lounge area, split-system air conditioning and spectacular panoramic ocean views.
This level also includes an additional king bedroom with a lounge area, television and balcony access, along with a queen bedroom offering two-way bathroom access. A dedicated bunk room with two bunk beds sleeps up to four children. Please note that the top bunks are suitable for children only. Positioned close to the master and queen bedrooms, this room creates an ideal children’s retreat. A generous sitting area connecting the bedrooms completes this thoughtfully designed level.
The third floor is a fantastic space for teenagers and children, featuring a games room with a pool table and television, plus two additional bedrooms—one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. The third floor does not include bathroom facilities, with the nearest bathroom located on the level below. Guests staying in either of the top-floor bedrooms must use the stairs and travel downstairs to access the shower and full bathroom facilities.
Adventure awaits just beyond your doorstep, with access via a bush track to secluded Kingsley Beach—ideal for surfing, snorkelling and exploring natural rock pools. The calm waters and family-friendly playground at Boat Harbour Beach are only a short distance away, while nearby coastal walking trails provide incredible whale-watching opportunities during migration season. The famous Anna Bay Sand Dunes and vibrant Nelson Bay precinct are both within a 10-minute drive.
Kingsley Shore’s offers air conditioning throughout, a double garage, an outdoor shower, full laundry facilities and complimentary Wi-Fi. Upon arrival, all beds will be beautifully made with quality linen, and bath towels will be provided for your comfort and convenience.
Please remember that the property has a very steep driveway, with pedestrian stairs provided alongside it. This may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Fantastic house for large groups. Great views from the wonderful balcony. Pool and Spa were great. Will return with our group again. Thank you.
House was massive and plenty of room for the number guests staying. Kitchen was well equipped. Spa and pool was awesome and good temperature enjoyed daily. Nice walking tracks in close proximity to house. Back bedroom does have a rising damp issue and room was not able to be used with very wet smell.House may have been due for a pest spray as alot of cockroaches and spiders where encountered.Overall a great house and place to stay.

We stayed in the house for three nights during the Christmas period and we could not fault it. The house is amazing. The views are even better than in the photos, great pool and jacuzzi excellent bbq and just a great space for a group of friends to enjoy Christmas. The rooms were all extremely spacious and clean. We could not recommend this house enough.

Reviewer Comments:
While the property & location is good, parking is insufficient & inconvenient. The steep driveway calls for exceptional driving skills. Further, 3 of the cars had their bottoms scrapped while exiting the driveway due to unusual angle where the driveway meets the road. Video recordings will show how one car had to drive onto neighbours driveway & island with extended back & forth maneuvering to finally get it out Never again.

Fabulous location, just a short walk from the beach with great views over Boat Harbour and a great outdoor space by the pool. The property was clean and tidy when we arrived and kitchen is well equipped to allow a full meal for a large group. The agent was very helpful and answered questions promptly.As stated in the property list, there is no air-conditioning and most of the windows do not have fly screens, however, fans are provided and we took extra with us too. We did discover three portable air conditioning units as we were checking out which would have made the use of the top floors more bearable. It would have been good to know in advance that these were available for use.The back room, accessed out the back of the house, did smell quite stale and musty and it was hard to air the room as there were no fly screens. Also, the room had no lock on the outside so we could not lock it when we went out.Overall a pleasant stay, and with a few minor improvements could be a 5 star review.

Reviewer Comments:
Location and view perfect. Great for a large group. Areas to relax and plenty of space. BBQ and verandah good especially with the servery. Parking was OK but the driveway is VERY steep. Extensive information re appliances, troubleshooting and house/local area. Agency easy to contact and extremely helpful and responsive. Some minor issues with essential items not provided in bathrooms or in short supply and some maintenance required in areas. Butlers pantry and extra fridge was an appreciated surprise. Mould seems to be an issue, particularly in the lower bedroom. Very efficient and well supplied kitchen. We had a wonderful time and really appreciated the spa pool and tub as the weather was hot! The outside front area was excellent. Just need to fix umbrellas. Easy to reach beaches and local amenities. Highly recommend.
