A Boutique Business Built On Experience, Passion & Genuine Care
Every memorable holiday begins with people who genuinely care about the experience.
Blue Water Stays was created with a simple vision
To offer a more personalised, attentive and thoughtful approach to holiday property management.
Rather than managing hundreds of properties, we work closely with a carefully selected collection of holiday homes, allowing us to deliver the level of service, communication and attention to detail that both owners and guests deserve.
Local Experience You Can Trust
Meet Janeal
For Janeal Smith, property has never simply been about buildings.
It's about helping people create memorable experiences, protecting valuable investments and building lasting relationships based on trust.
After many successful years building one of Port Macquarie's respected real estate businesses, Janeal chose to return to what she enjoys most - working directly with owners and guests to create exceptional holiday experiences.
Her background spans real estate, property management and hospitality, giving her a unique understanding of both the operational side of managing premium accommodation and the personal touches that transform a stay into something unforgettable.
Blue Water Stays represents the next chapter of that journey.
Why Blue Water Stays Exists
Boutique By Choice
Blue Water Stays wasn't created to become the biggest holiday management company on the Mid North Coast.
It was created to become one of the most trusted.
By intentionally managing a select portfolio of properties, we're able to provide owners with genuine communication, personalised advice and responsive service while ensuring every guest receives the attention they deserve.
For us, quality will always come before quantity.
What We Believe
Our Values
Great holidays and successful property management both begin with trust.
Relationships First
It's often the smallest touches that guests remember most.
Attention To Detail
Honest advice, clear expectations and responsive support every step of the way.
Genuine Communication
Being part of the Port Macquarie community allows us to share authentic local experiences while supporting regional businesses.
Local Knowledge
Every property is treated with the same pride and attention we'd expect for our own.
Exceptional Care
Hospitality Is At The Heart Of Everything We Do
Creating Memorable Stays
We believe great accommodation is about far more than providing somewhere to sleep.
It's about arriving to a beautifully presented home.
Feeling genuinely welcomed.
Discovering local experiences.
Relaxing with family and friends.
Creating memories that guests will want to revisit year after year.
Those moments are what Blue Water Stays is built around.
Looking Ahead
Building Something Special
While Blue Water Stays is proudly boutique today, our vision reaches well beyond managing holiday homes.
We're building a trusted local brand that celebrates everything people love about the Mid North Coast while helping property owners unlock the full potential of their holiday investments.
Every new property, every returning guest and every relationship helps shape that vision.
