The views are spectacular and the neighbours are adorable.

Yeah, sure, going down the beach or camping in the bush brings its fair share of critters and creatures to your doorstep, but koalas? No way, that’d be too awesome… right? WRONG! Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary, located just a few hours from Sydney/Warrane, invites guests to cuddle up overnight in a swish glamping set-up (or hotel-style suite), surrounded by native bushland and furry friends. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to escape the city hustle and bustle, this sanctuary – rounded out with a pretty treetop skywalk and a light-filled café – is the perfect place to slow down and reconnect with nature. Find out more about Port Stephens' home among the gumtrees this-a-way.
