Satisfied Customer
The cabin that I stayed in was well-suited to a single person like myself or a couple wanting a quiet few days in the Port Stephens area. The only potential downside is that there wasn't any wi-fi, but mobile reception was good enough that this wasn't an issue.

Beautiful getaway
What a relaxing stay this was! Thank you Doug and Kathy for a serene weekend on gorgeous Worimi Country. Being in a hot tub under the full moon and gumtrees was an absolute highlight. Our cabin was intimate, with just enough space for everything we needed and waking up to the view on the porch was breathtaking. We had plans to go to Tea Gardens, but didn't want to leave. A special thank you to our hosts for going the extra mile in helping return some important belongings left at the property.

Perfection perfection perfection!
Our stay at Daybreaks was nothing but perfect! Our cabin had everything you need for a very comfortable stay, it was very clean & perfectly spacious for two adults. The location is incredibly picturesque, tranquil and secluded. We enjoyed using the jacuzzi to watch the sunset! Doug & Kathy were also very welcoming and great hosts with excellent communication. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you for a lovely relaxing long weekend! :)

Paradise with a view
We decided on a last minute trip to the area and came across this beautiful accommodation. We didn't even know this area existed. Cabin was basic and suited our needs but the location was out of this world. It felt very private and the views were amazing. The serenity was just wonderful. We took a spa as the sun was going down and the changing colours were beautiful. Sunrise photos taken on our 2nd morning are breathtaking. The hosts' son greeted us and we enjoyed a chat talking about the area. We had a bit of a fright the first night when we heard banging & screeching on our roof & the 2nd night we met the possum who had decided to join us on our stay. He/she was beautiful but noisy but only briefly and we knew we were experiencing a real bush holiday. What a wonderful find Daybreaks was. We will definitely be back in the future and hopefully will get to meet Doug and co. next time.

Great place to unwind
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Daybreaks Doug was such a great host and the outlook is incredible we spent both mornings up early watching the sunrise from our balcony, far enough out of town to avoid the hustle and bustle but a short drive to one of the most amazing beaches in Oz Jimmy’s beach Highly reccomended

Location fabulous, cabin disappointing
Lovely and quiet location. Cabin is very dated and needs an upgrade. Uncomfortable bed, woke up with a sore back after each night. Kitchen had a very strong mould smell, enough to turn me off using plates and cutlery. Over-priced for the furnishings, state of the cabin.
