Steve and Jackie really came through for us after the huge storms in Port Stephens left us without power. Such great hosts! Despite the wild weather the location of the house is perfect to enjoy Shoal Bay on a budget. Highly recommended!
We loved our stay at Madolly cottage. Perfect location to the beach and coffee shops. Cottage had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.
Great place. Loved the covered outdoor area. Well equipped cottage, everything you need to cook for yourselves. Great location, Beach and cafes a few minutes walk away. All enclosed yard, so was great for our fur child.
Great location. Very well equipped with everything. Very family and dog friendly. Outdoor kitchen and shower are fantastic. We loved our stay. Thank you.
The property had everything we needed and has been maintained well. Spacious backyard and alfresco area. Close to everything around the Pt Stephens area.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
My wee dog loved the big yard and we appreciated it was fully enclosed. Loved our stay - some more chairs in lounge wouldn’t go amiss and mildly annoying taking own sheets and towels but other than that fantastic
The accommodation is walking distance to the beach, the local shops and restaurants. The owner was very easy to communicate with and gave clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out procedures. The property is very dog friendly. We brought our 2-year old cavoodle with us and he liked exploring the backyard.
We have stayed in this property once before and it was nice so we decided to come again. This was one of those rare occasions where the property has actually gotten better! The Reno’s to the bathrooms and better heating have improved the property a lot, and we can’t wait to come back again next year.
We had an amazing stay at Madolly. The house has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Our kids and dogs enjoyed playing in the secure back yard and we loved waking to the beach each day. Madolly is walking distance to everything you need/want. Restaurants, cafe, parks, walks, beaches and more.
We felt totally relaxed and at home. We will definitely be booking again.

Ticks all the boxes
Had another wonderful stay. Home is well stocked in case you forget something. Never a shortage either of cutlery and crockery. Location is a short walk to the foreshore of Shoal Bay. Plenty of undercover parking and an impressive outdoor entertainment space. Will be staying again
Positives: Fabulous little cottage, very homely & comfortable.
Large outdoor rear covered deck with BBQ & entertaining area. Good size backyard for our dog, who found the property very comfortable too. 5 min walk into town & beach. Undercover carport garage for your vehicle.
Negatives: Can be a noisy road at times when we were sleeping mostly in the early morning being a residential area.
Would be better with sheets & towels included in the price as other properties do include.
Outside 2nd toilet should be available to use even with 3 people, states you must have 4 or more people.
We have wonderful time in your lovely cottage. Amazing for our dog & our girls love it.. we love it so much & definitely we will be back .
Thank you
Charm & Ian,
We loved our stay , the home inside was tidy and clean.
Really relaxing weekend away, great for a group of family to share, the home has a great entertaing area and great space in the backyard for the dog to run around.
Madolly is situated close to shops and Shoal Bay beach and is a true beach house. We have a pet so being pet friendly was a bonus and we also have a boat, so having a large lockable carport was appreciated. The Port Stephens area is a great place to holiday - many things to do!
Great spot for walks and trips to the beach. The property is well placed to walk to shoal bay beach for a swim. Or alternatively, if you like long walks then walk up to the peaks or along the track to Fingal bay and out over the spit at low tide. It was an added plus we could bring our dogs. The yard is fully enclosed and the it’s relaxing sitting on the back deck.
perfect for a family holiday
better if weather good as living area a bit cramped if weather cold and wet as the fantastic deck and bbq area is bit exposed if wet and windy
would certainly book again
