Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable.

We had the best time at Foreshore Bliss. The house is an architectural wonder and takes full advantage of the amazing location and impressive views and even on the hottest day there was no need for aircon because of the cross breezes created by the brilliant design of the house. The neighbourhood is quiet but so convenient to all that Port Stephens has to offer - a super short drive to the surprisingly large selection of shops (Woolies, Coles, Kmart etc), some amazing restaurants (highly recommend Rick Stein’s at Bannisters) and fun stuff for the kids - the camel rides on Birubi Beach was a highlight.The house is literally steps from the white sand and crystal clear water of Salamander Bay. A very comfortable home with great bathrooms and kitchen well stocked if you want to cook (plenty of glasses, plates, utensils, pots and pans and appliances), comfy beds, nice linen and plenty of towels.We hope to stay again.
