Magical Madolly

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.

Winter getaway

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.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Barratt

Jackie & Stephen have owned the property since 2010. We love Shoal Bay and the Port Stephens district for swimming, cycling, golf, walking and all the other things you can do outside.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property to one day eventually to retire to Shoal Bay

What makes this property unique

Short walk (250m) to Shoal Bay Country and other eating venues. Easy access to both the calm waters of Port Stephens or the surf beaches of Fingal Bay and Box Beach.
