Wanda Wanda House - Hot Tub & 150m to the Sand

There is no better location for your getaway. Literally 100 steps to Wanda Beach, perfect for fishing, kayaking and walking. The home is a short, flat walk along the sand to Bannisters, home to the world-renowned Rick Stein restaurant and Cheeky Dog bar. Walk out the door and across the street to a diverse strip of shops and restaurants including pizza, thai, fish and chips and chinese. The two-storey home has two separate living areas, ducted air throughout, three bedrooms (all with ceiling fans), and two bathrooms (one with bath).
The fully landscaped backyard feels like you’re part of nature, and has a cute fire pit (winter only) and seating area on the upper-tier – the perfect spot to enjoy the native birds. The dining room spills out to an expansive covered outdoor area that has multiple seating areas, BBQ, and of course, the popular swim spa / hot tub.
Throughout the interior of the home is stylish furniture, brand new beds and mattresses (made up with luxurious linen ready for you arrival), leather lounges, original artwork, lush towels, quality shampoo and conditioner, and beautiful plants to make you feel at home. You will literally walk in the door and start your holiday.
No expense has been spared with the provisions in the kitchen, with Miele oven, stove and dishwasher, a fridge with water dispenser, and brand-new quality cookware, dinnerware, glassware, and cutlery. Need some ‘Netflix and chill’ time? We have you covered with Wifi, SMART TVs, and of course, a Nespresso capsule coffee machine (guests must use their own Netflix and streaming logins).
Wanda Wanda house has an internal laundry with front loader washing machine, clothes dryer, and third toilet. Off street parking makes life that little easier.

We will consider allowing one small dog to stay provided they are fully house trained, well mannered, and not left at Wanda Wanda House unattended.

A three-minute drive lands you at the Soldiers Point Marina, offering multiple (and delicious) dining options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Prefer to stay closer to home? 150m away you will find a row of shops that includes a small grocery store, butcher, baker, liquor store, pharmacy and a number of takeaway options. If you’re chasing waves, we are a short drive from Birubi and One Mile Beaches, renowned for long lines of swell all year round.
Between May and November, Port Stephens is the place to be to watch humpback and southern white whales make their annual migration to and from warmer waters. Dolphins can be seen year-round, including cruising the calm waters just 100 steps away at Wanda beach.
There are so many options for beautiful walks in the natural beauty of Port Stephens. From the easy stroll around the Wanda Wanda headland starting just 100 steps to the north of Wanda Wanda house, to the infamous Mount Tomaree Summit Walk (2.2km return), challenging but so rewarding to reach the top and see the spectacular 360 degree view of Port Stephens.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features 1.5 bathrooms and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a washing machine.

Beautiful home in such a quiet spot. Inclusions were fantastic. Obviously the highlight is the spa, and the thoughtful retractable shade over it was so great! Lots of items to keep a baby happy, safe and fed too. I've come home wanting to redo my backyard to look just like this one! Nicole was a beautoful host too, with timely responses always
