The Port Stephens STR Market

Port Stephens is known for its calm bays, dolphin and whale watching, the Anna Bay sand dunes, and easy access to the Hunter Valley. Families, couples, and groups of friends book here for beach holidays and weekend breaks, with demand building over summer, school holidays, and the whale-watching season.

All NSW short-term rentals must be registered on the NSW Planning Portal and display their STRA ID on every listing, and the NSW Code of Conduct and fire safety standards apply to hosts and managers. Council planning rules and strata by-laws can add further requirements, so it pays to confirm what applies to your property before you list.

A strongly seasonal market rewards owners who manage the calendar and pricing closely, capturing peak weeks without letting the shoulder season go quiet. AirKeeper helps Port Stephens investors turn short-term rentals into high-performing assets with a professionally managed, data-driven approach.
