Samurai Beach Resort

Port Stephens, New South Wales

Samurai Beach Resort is a 4 star eco accredited resort set in 8 hectares of bushland on the edge of One Mile Beach, Port Stephens – a perfect coastal eco escape, 2.5 hours drive north of Sydney.

Located only 10 minutes from the heart of Port Stephens, Samurai Beach Resort is set in stunning bushland and nestled on the edge of the magnificent One Mile Beach and Samurai Beach sand dunes. The resort is a 20 minute walk to the beach or a 3 minute drive to the patrolled end of One Mile Beach.

The resort’s 31 rooms cater for a range of  guests and budgets from studios to fully self-contained two bedroom villas. The newly renovated Deluxe Suites have their own private hot tubs and own BBQs.

The resort offers the best of both worlds being close enough to experience all the sights and activities Port Stephens has to offer, yet secluded enough to be home to an abundance of native native bird and animal life including a resident koala population.
