Port Stephen boasts some of the finest surf breaks, fishing spots, well-preserved waterways, and natural landscapes.

Local favourites such as the world-class Rick Stein at Bannister's restaurant promise fresh seafood and locally-brewed wine.

  1. Convenient Location

Port Stephens is a waterfront paradise only two and a half hours away from Sydney. The well-preserved bay is about two times larger than Sydney harbour.

If you prefer more laid-back settings, you’ll love local spots like The Little Nel Cafe in Nelson Bay.

  1. Affordable Real estate with a rising value

Despite the rising property values, the real estate prices are within range for the average homebuyer or investor. This is partially due to the Australian financial policy that stabilised interest rates to raise demand.

  1. Serene hiking trails

A hiking trip to the summit of the famous Tomaree Head is beyond breathtaking. The scenic trails offer unhindered views of the coastline and all Port Stephens offers.

Although One Mile Beach is gorgeous, there are numerous other beaches to explore. In total, there are twenty-six beaches in and around Port Stephens. You'll have scenic beaches to enjoy the warm sun and water sports.

  1. Distilleries, Breweries and Wineries

There’s no better way to immerse yourself in Port Stephen's culture than taste local beers. Murray's Brewing Co. offers some of the finest craft beers with curious names such as Angry Man's Pale Ale, Whale Ale and Fred IPA.

They also have a seasonal selection of beers such as Green Apple Berliner Wiesse, Coco Hops, Sassy Blonde Belgian Pale and Lamington Beer. You can catch up with mates over some delicious cuisine and live music on weekends.
