What a wonderful stay! Couldn’t ask for better quality throughout the Pool House-it catered for all our needs with a great pool area, very comfortable bed and great kitchen/ living area…..and all so beautifully appointed. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable break from the regular humdrum.

Nice property, peaceful area

We came for a short, late autumn break with our dog. The pool looked great but too cold at this time of year especially with heavy rain. It was lovely to find such a nice, well-appointed property which welcomed our pooch. It was an easy and scenic walk to the village and a short drive to the supermarket and eating places. Despite some truely awful weather, we could snuggle down and relax and get out between showers. Highly recommended.

Just what we needed

A short one night on a trip. Great place to relax and recharge for more driving. Dogs enjoy the enclosed private grassed yard to run off being cooped up in the car. Pool is great in warmer weather. This was my 3rd stay.

Pool house is the best in Lemon Tree Passage

My wife and our dog stayed at the pool house a year ago and when we decided again to spend a week at Port Stephens, it was clear that the Pool House was the obvious choice. Perfect for adults and the dog loves the place too

Pool House Delight

What a great place to stay; thank you Jan (host) for your presentation of the Pool House, it would rival any Studio apartment in a large complex. Tastefully appointed kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom, plenty of room to stretch out. An added bonus is the exclusive use of the sparkling pool (if the weather had been hotter) and a large backyard for the dog. Close to the inland waterway with great walking tracks near by. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it with or without a pooch.

The Pool House is an immaculate single bedroom property. Pristine cleanliness, very well furnished and with all modern conveniences. It is very well located for the Lemon Tree Passage beach, and lovely bike path to the village. We loved staying there and highly recommend the property.
