Property info

Experience the perfect escape to nature Looking for a luxury get away? Look no further! We have the perfect place for you to rest your head - from dawn to dusk, this will be an experience like no other. Set in 8 hectares of stunning bushland and nestled on the edge of the magnificent One Mile Beach and Worimi Conservation Lands sand dunes, Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary offers the best of both worlds. We’re close enough to experience the abundance of sights and activities Port Stephens has to offer, yet secluded enough to enjoy the native bird and animal life which have made their homes in the surrounding wetlands. Our Deluxe 4 Star Glamping tents offer you the perfect place to rejuvenate while enjoying a unique nocturnal experience. Wake up with the koalas in their spectacular natural bushland setting and enjoy everything that our Koala Sanctuary has to offer. If glamping is not for you, we also have a range of accommodation — from Deluxe Studio Rooms to our One Bedroom Deluxe Suites. These offer a more conventional stay, so you can experience the koalas’ natural setting while taking in the stunning views of our beautiful bushland environments. Important Note: Expansion to the Koala Hospital has commenced and will conclude in September / October 2024. There may be some disruptions caused by this construction that could impact your stay with us at the Sanctuary. We plan to, where ever possible, minimise construction impacts to avoid as much inconvenience caused.
