where pets are truly
welcome
Some of our favourite food spots. Plenty for the foodies to explore. And many that are also pet friendly!
Where the local folk and their furry family like to meet and play.
Being a nature paradise there is plenty of walks to explore in Port Stephens. And great walks for fur friends too.
Beautiful villa. We really enjoyed our recent stay which we shared with our fur baby. The hosts go over and beyond to ensure the guests have everything they require. Additional extras were also included such as a lovely hand written card, welcome doggy treats and a packet of Tim tams and a number of items in the pantry. The villa is spotless, linen towels all great condition and very roomy villa. Great long walks for dogs. If you want a dog accessible beach head on short drive to Bagnalls beach or Salamander bay. The hosts provide full details.
Loved our stay in Villa 2. Location 5 min walk to beach. 10/10 for cleanliness 10/10 for provisions provided. Everything exactly as shown on website. Really did feel like a home away from home stay. Michelle & Andrew are generous host's with plenty of extra provisions provided plenty of coffee pods,teabags fresh milk bickies even hand soap,shampoo, conditioner & body wash in bathrooms. They really have thought of everything. Thankyou again for our stay in your beautiful Villa. Belinda Tony Emma & Jarrad
We stayed at Echoes for our wedding weekend in Fingal Bay - it was the perfect accomodation plenty of space, beautiful lighting and great location walking distance to both the water and a couple of cafes. The hosts are very kind and ensured our stay was amazing 🫶
We had a second annual holiday in the Bent Street cottages during August 2024. There were two of us plus our Westie, Poppy. And it was just as much a very pleasant experience as our first visit. Andrew and Michelle are excellent, friendly hosts who provide thoughtful extras, including dog treats. The cottages are very modern and comprehensively equipped, and well-suited for a dog. They are very clean, light and airy, with comfortable furniture and a ducted climate control system. Several nearby beaches and a good selection of restaurants lie within 10 Km of the location. Additionally, the Fingal Bay shops are within a comfortable walking distance. We very much hope to return in 2025.
Great location, beautiful property & truly dog friendly. The welcome gift for our dog was well received! No issue with our larger lab. Tiles throughout the property & access via the garage were great. We didn’t have an electric vehicle but there’s a charger available. Great dog walking by the creek & along the beach & only a few minutes walk away.
We need to look no further for our weeks away in the future. For what we seek, and pet friendly, 5 star. Denise and Noel

Denise and Noel Karin Morgan2024-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Echoes was a great pet friendly place to stay, I booked just on 12 months ago, and the payments were easy to make via a secure link. We both commented upon arrival how clean the villa was and that there was no 'animal' smell at all. Everything was perfectly clean and organised, we would say 10/10 for cleanliness! We also thought the cleaning supplies provided were excellent, Ellie's treat bag was a lovely touch, and we both enjoyed the Tim Tams that were on the bench when we arrived! This was a lovely surprise! We both think the property is well-furnished too! Having the games & books available is also a great touch and would be a hit with families/kids. Having an Echoes 1 Netflix profile to use instead of your own profile is a master stroke that I've not seen in any other property I've stayed in. The overall experience was just fantastic and we would recommend this property to anyone wanting to relax and holiday with their fur family! Michelle & Andrew were excellent hosts and very responsive to questions and queries - they really went the extra mile for us as guests! Emma Dimmock2023-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great long weekend away recently to visit family for our annual early Christmas catchup. We’ve been home a week & still talking about how great the stay was to everyone. The place is in a quiet part of Fingal, close to the beach & dog park with all the amenities you could need. Only a short drive to the rest of the bays. The only feedback I could provide in terms of improvement, is possibly having some summer sheets/lighter blankets available. They seemed like they’d be amazing for winter but as its mid-summer & it neared 40 degrees over most days & humidity was over 92% so even with the aircon & fan, sleep ended up uncomfortable in the double bed & we ended up sleeping separately to avoid touching each other 😂 Everything else was great. While we ate out the whole time, it was nice to have the option to cook if we needed as there were a lot of staples provided. Thank you very much for the treats for us & Mia, that was very sweet! The place is very clean, big, modern & we really appreciated all the small but important details you provided, accommodating our dog. I 120% recommend hiring for your next pet friendly accommodation & we will be booking again next year when we come back up 😊 Margie Flint2023-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful time. The hosts are just lovely and the accommodation superb. Safe for our dogs, walk to the beach, close to the shopping area. Highly recommend this gorgeous place! JUSTINE DENTON2023-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved, loved, loved our stay here! Ruby the Border Collie was made to feel just as welcome as the humans too! Thoughtful touches with arrival treats for both the dog and us and a well provisioned pantry (brekky items, tea and coffee, condiments, cooking basics) made our visit feel special. Thank you Michelle and Andrew, have spread the word amongst our dog-owning friends! Cannot wait to return!
