About Us The Retreat Port Stephens is a unique tourism development, backing directly onto the largest living sand dune system in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Retreat is located in Anna Bay with the local shops just a 2 minute drive. We are central to all the activities and attractions that Port Stephens has to offer, but with the secluded and peaceful nature setting of the bush.

We can also assist with the planning of your itinerary and book local attractions and facilities. National Parks offer great educational talks and also guided tours. All of the attractions and facilities are within a 10 minute travel time which means that many activities can be planned for a day.

Families The Retreat Port Stephens is a safe, private and enjoyable place for all families. No matter the size of your family or ages of the kids there is just so much on offer.

Firstly take the kids straight out the back to the sand dunes for some energy burning sand boarding. You can sit at the top of the dune and the kids can go up and down a few times.

After half an hour or so they are exhausted and want to come back for a swim in our salt water inground swimming pool.

The kids can have a swim while you sit back and relax on our sun chairs with a great book and take in the country air.

Next to the swimming pool is the games room with Table tennis, pool table, pin ball machine, video machine, air hockey and stereo. There is a TV and DVD player in the games room to watch a favourite movie or sports games. We also have board games and card games available for hire at the office.

Next is the play ground area with climbing play equipment and spider swing. The open area next to this is great for a game of soccer, cricket or bocce.

Bring along your push bikes as the kids can ride around the property and you can also ride on the many bike tracks that are around the Port Stephens area.
