My husband and I stayed at Botaba B&B for a short weekend getaway and thoroughly enjoyed it...Sally and Roger are wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. Sally went out of her way to explain the key places to visit on our short stay and the cooked breakfast was lovely in a nice peaceful garden setting. Hopefully we will... More

Driving from Brisbane to Sydney we decided to brake our trip with a 3 night stay in Port Stephens. Not knowing where to stay I searched the internet and found Botaba had a vacancy.
