Escape to Fingal – The Grand Prize

Imagine waking up to the sound of the surf, stepping out for a barefoot stroll along one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches, then coming back to a home that feels like your own private retreat. That’s what awaits at Baia de Fingal, our newly renovated four bedroom, two bathroom holiday house just 300 metres from the waves at Fingal Bay.

This spacious coastal escape sleeps up to 12 guests and is perfectly placed for every kind of getaway. Spend your days surfing, fishing, exploring nearby national parks or simply relaxing with a book in hand. Families will love the safe, calm corners of the bay while couples or groups can enjoy a carefree child-free retreat. In the evening, head to the local restaurants, cafés and takeaways, or gather around the table for a shared meal after a day in the sun.

Fingal Bay is closer than you think. Just 30 minutes from Newcastle, 40 minutes from Newcastle Airport and a scenic drive up the coast from Sydney, it offers the perfect balance of convenience and escape.

The winner of this incredible prize will enjoy a full week away at Baia de Fingal, valued at up to $6,000. The stay is valid for any week of the year, subject to availability, and can be booked within 24 months of the draw. That means plenty of time to plan your dream coastal holiday.

Every ticket you purchase brings you closer to waking up by the waves and helps raise vital funds for the Cancer Council through the Stars of Newcastle fundraiser.

Coastal Mini Escape – Runners-Up Prize

If a full week feels like a dream, how about a shorter seaside escape that’s just as special? Two lucky runners-up will each win a luxury stay at Baia de Fingal, our newly renovated four bedroom, two bathroom holiday home just 300 metres from the waves at Fingal Bay.

Choose your perfect break:

• A weekend away from Friday to Monday, three nights of coastal relaxation.

• A weekday retreat from Monday to Friday, four nights of uninterrupted calm.

Each stay is valued at up to $3,000 and offers the same stunning experience as the grand prize. Wake to the sound of the surf, spend your days swimming, fishing or strolling the beach, then unwind in a home that sleeps up to 12 guests and is perfectly positioned near local restaurants, cafés and takeaways.

These escapes are available outside Australian school holidays and can be booked within 24 months of the draw, giving you plenty of time to plan your getaway.

Whether you come with friends, family or for some well-earned downtime, this mini escape will leave you refreshed, recharged and in love with Fingal Bay.
