The white volcanic sand and aquamarine waters of Port Stephens offer the beach a tropical look. Less than an hour drive from Sydney, this region has become a very popular holiday destination of the central coast. This deep water port is two and a half times the size of Sydney harbour and surrounded by two volcanic headlands, sandy beaches and lush green bushland. Whether you are planning to holiday just the weekend or for a week a wide range of Port Stephens holiday accommodation can be pre booked.

The deep waters are ideal for boating, underwater diving and fishing. You could hire anything from a bicycle to a motor boat while you are in Port Stephens. Tour operators offer popular dolphin cruises and many site seeing charter cruises.

Port Stephens offers some well known cafes and restaurants and comfortable accommodation. If you are the adventurous type, then hit the 30km long Stockton Beach, where you can take a 4WD tour. You could also ride quad bikes or enjoy horse riding. The area is popular for its large coastal sand dune system.





Nelson bay, Fingal bay and Shoal bay are well known holiday spots in Port Stephens area. Fingal Bay is the most eastern township in Port Stephens. It is surrounded by a national park and has a majestic bay with a patrolled surfing beach. Fingal Bay is only five minutes from the heart of Nelson Bay and so close to Shoal Bay. Shoal bay occupies the southern headland of Port Stephens, flanked by Tomaree National Park and offers holiday makers the luxury of  both ocean and harbour beaches. Shoal Bay is a pristine sandy beach with cobalt blue waters and resident dolphin population.

Come enjoy the many beaches in this beautiful coastal area. Engage in Dolphin watch trips, have a bite in a sea side cafe while staying in one of the affordable Port Stephens holiday rentals options by OzeHols via http://www.ozehols.com.au/holiday-accommodation/new-south-wales/port-stephens-area/port-stephens.

Hunter Region

Circa 160km or about 2hrs north of Sydney,  the Hunter region is known to be the wine region of NSW.  Many visit the region on a day trip, but certainly not advisable if you plan to wine taste and plan on driving. Hunter offers some cosy accommodation to suit any budget. Therefore a 2-3 day visit is well worth it. The region is famous for producing the world’s best Semillon and Australia’s best shiraz. More than 100 wineries and cellar doors are spread out through the Hunter Valley region. Most of the wineries are open to the public daily and tours of the winery and wine tasting can be arranged by contacting the wineries direct. Hunter is Australia’s oldest commercial wine producing area, beginning wine production in the 1830s.

The region has a vibrant food culture to compliment the beautiful wines of the region. A vast variety of tasty cheeses, smokehouse goods, handmade chocolates (even chocolate tasting) will pleasure your taste buds. The Hunter region is abundant with beautiful cafes and restaurants which offer a variety of sumptuous menus for your enjoyment.

Apart from all the irresistible food and wine, you will also find plenty of other activities to keep you entertained while you are in the Hunter region. You can undertake organised or self explored treks and tours, visit the beautiful art galleries, play a game of golf or get pampered at one of the beautiful spas in the region.

Visit to the Hunter region will be an unforgettable experience.
