Blue Bay Accommodation Central Coast
Nest at Blue Bay
Romancing or honeymooning, Nest at Blue Bay is the spot to stay. It opened in late 2020 and it’s been booked out nearly every weekend since. The interiors are slick, with white wash walls brough to life with carefully handpicked furnishings. For us though, it’s the free-standing bath that has daydreaming.
Stays from $198 a night. To book, visit: Nest at Blue Bay
Northern Central Coast Accommodation
The Beachie, Toukley
Opening in early 2021, The Beachie has become the ultimate destination to eat, play and stay on the Central Coast. Each of the rooms have been refurbished and are truly spectacular, with views of Budgewoi Lake. We personally love the cabana-lined pool. Oh and there’s even a petting farm for littlies. An all-rounded that is good for romance or family stays.
Stays start from $150. To book, visit: The Beachie.
Top Tip: Central Coast accommodation can quickly book up, especially around peak times like summer holidays so it is best to book way in advance to ensure you’re able to visit.
Congratulation!
