Enjoy a well-deserved break in this impressive beachfront duplex at laidback Fingal Bay. A lift between the floors and an accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower and grip bars for the toilet make this a great option for less mobile guests.
Across the road, just steps from your front door is the southern end of Fingal Bay Beach, known to the locals as ’Kiddies Corner’ as the calmer waters are ideal for small children to swim, and a boat ramp to launch your vessel. The pristine white sand beach winds along the coast, offering endless opportunities for swimming, past the popular surf beach in front of the surf lifesaving club (patrolled in season) and up to the famous Fingal Spit. The spit can be crossed at low tide (with caution, check times with surf club) to view the ruins of the outer lighthouse residence. Just 350m from your duplex you will find walking trails at Barry Park, and a lookout where you can watch humpback whales migrate north from mid-May to August and south from August to mid-November with their newborn calves. The local restaurant, cafes, grocery shop, a fantastic children’s playground and great tree-lined pathways for walking and bike riding are all at your fingertips. Shoal Bay is just 3.5km away and Nelson Bay is a short 6.5km drive.
This 2-storey, contemporary duplex is perfectly positioned, overlooking the pristine coastline, with strategically designed windows drawing the beautiful views in. Boasting all modern inclusions, it has ducted air-conditioning and lovely polished floors upstairs and split systems in the downstairs bedrooms. It also features a sleek, fully equipped kitchen and an open plan living area with a large LCD TV & DVD, plus free Wi-Fi, and the property has a Foxtel dish so you can bring your own box with you and have access to Foxtel.
The property even comes with its own lift, giving you peace of mind with elderly or disabled guests and the convenience of transporting your luggage or shopping upstairs. There are 2 balconies, one with magnificent water views and another private one overlooking trees. Both feature quality outdoor furnishings and a BBQ, and are perfect for outdoor dining with the best view in town.
The master bedroom is upstairs and has a queen bed and ensuite with a roll-in shower, as well as a single trundle bed in the robe, and the other 2 bedrooms are downstairs, one with a queen bed and the other with 2 single beds. An internal laundry with washer and dryer and double lock up garage completes this magnificent holiday property.
Important Notes:
- Linen and towels are supplied for this property and beds will be made, ready for your arrival (excludes the trundle bed).

About the area
Fingal Bay, located in the picturesque Port Stephens region of New South Wales, Australia, is a coastal haven that offers a serene escape with its stunning natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere. This charming destination is perfect for travelers seeking a blend of relaxation, adventure, and wildlife encounters.
The bay's crowning glory is its sweeping crescent-shaped beach, embraced by the Fingal Spit to the east and a lush national park to the west. The beach's fine white sand and crystal-clear waters make it an idyllic spot for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. The gentle waves are suitable for families, while the spit, which can be crossed at low tide to reach Fingal Island, adds a sense of adventure to the visit.
Fingal Bay is also a prime location for spotting humpback whales during their annual migration between May and November. Visitors can join whale-watching tours to witness these majestic creatures up close or simply keep an eye out from the shore or the headlands for a chance to see them breaching in the distance.
For those who love to explore the great outdoors, the surrounding Tomaree National Park offers a network of walking trails that lead through coastal bushland and offer panoramic views of the bay and beyond.
