Pool house is the best in Lemon Tree Passage

My wife and our dog stayed at the pool house a year ago and when we decided again to spend a week at Port Stephens, it was clear that the Pool House was the obvious choice. Perfect for adults and the dog loves the place too

Just what we needed

A short one night on a trip. Great place to relax and recharge for more driving. Dogs enjoy the enclosed private grassed yard to run off being cooped up in the car. Pool is great in warmer weather. This was my 3rd stay.

Beautiful private pool

The pool house is an amazing private 1 bedroom apartment located in the backyard of a shared property in Lemon Tree Passage. When you first arrive it looks a bit daunting going into the backyard of the pet it one you arrive it is secluded and beautiful. You have the pool to yourself and best of all the place is dog friendly

Pool House Delight

What a great place to stay; thank you Jan (host) for your presentation of the Pool House, it would rival any Studio apartment in a large complex. Tastefully appointed kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom, plenty of room to stretch out. An added bonus is the exclusive use of the sparkling pool (if the weather had been hotter) and a large backyard for the dog. Close to the inland waterway with great walking tracks near by. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it with or without a pooch.
