Shake off the winter blues and escape to Port Stephens

The only blues you’ll find here are the brilliant blue skies, sparkling blue bays, fresh blue swimmer crabs and the sounds of twelve bar blues!

There’s a lot to love about Port Stephens in any season… like pristine beaches, whales, dolphins, bushwalking, cycling, sailing, fishing, golf, fine dining, fresh produce, wineries, breweries, sliding down sand dunes, quad-biking, horse riding, waterfront dining, spectacular sunsets great service and friendly people.

Winter is the ideal time to experience the flavours of our coastal road food trail, with many of the locally grown specialities coming into peak season. It’s the season for celebrating our love of seafood, right at the source, in the company of growers and local food legends at the Love Seafood festival; and an opportunity to enjoy relaxed eateries with fresh-local-produce-driven menus and spectacular vistas, without jostling for a table.

As the cool weather rolls in, mother nature puts on some of her most spectacular displays - like the great migration of some 25,000 humpback whales through the port; and with a vast lunar landscape of the world’s largest moving dunes to be conquered; a 98,000 hectare marine park to be explored and hundreds of walking, hiking and mountain biking trails through Tomaree National Park, breaking away from the bitumen to get moving on your adventure must-do list is a rewarding alternative to hibernation, within easy reach this winter!

Snap up a great value seasonal deal and make winter your season of discovery with a gourmet getaway, a rejuvenating nature break or an invigorating adventure escape to Port Stephens – a pleasant 2 ½ hour drive from Sydney or a short flight from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Dubbo and the Gold Coast.

Come enjoy hot deals, cosy accommodation and a warm reception ...just some of the many reasons to visit Port Stephens!
