Coastal Luxury with a Private Mineral Pool

Perched above a golf practice green and backed by native bushland with ocean glimpses, The Poolhouse is Port Stephens’ answer to the ultimate couple’s retreat. This one-bedroom hideaway blends boutique style with resort-level perks — think heated mineral pool, spa, outdoor shower, and an alfresco kitchen complete with a pizza oven. Designed and styled by the owner (a homewares store curator), every detail leans into relaxed luxury, from the king bed to the sun-drenched deck. Days here flow between dips in the pool, coastal walks, and discovering the region’s 26 pristine beaches. Evenings? Fire up the pizza oven or watch the sun fade over the water with a glass in hand. With Port Stephens crowned Wotif’s 2025 Aussie Town of the Year, it’s the perfect excuse to book in.
