Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary

Slow down, switch off and wake up surrounded by the bush.

Set within native bushland just minutes from the coast, a stay at Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary is everything a nature escape should be. Koalas rest high in the gum trees. Kookaburras call through the canopy as morning light filters in. Put the kettle on, step onto your deck and let the bush settle around you.

Raised among the natural surrounds of the sanctuary, our glamping tents offer a stay that's comfortable and connected to the landscape. Step onto your private deck with a morning coffee, breathe in the fresh bush air and ease into the day at your own pace.

Studios offer a simple and easy place to settle in, with everything you need in one thoughtfully designed open-plan space.

Set within the peaceful surrounds of the sanctuary, suites offer a spacious and self-contained stay designed for comfort and ease.
