Wonderful accommodation

The property was clean, the location was great, the property had everything we needed to stay for just under a week. It was the perfect size for my family to enjoy the summer break.

Perfect house, clean, had everything that you could need. Easy walk to beach and shops. Would definitely recommend. The only thing missing is an undercover outdoor space.

Disappointing

House is well equipped and well located, close to shops and just a short walk to beach BUT it’s in desperate need of some TLC and a really thorough spring clean. When we arrived there was thick dust on the skirting boards, power points and corners of rooms as well as the furniture which all needed a good dust and wipe down. There were lots of spider webs both inside and out, the range hood was greasy, and the rug, couch and curtains in the living room are all stained and dirty looking, some of the curtains had mould and mildew on them. The air con system wasn’t working properly and wouldn’t blow warm air, only cold, and there was no stand alone heater in the home despite stating there was in the hand book. The managers were reasonably responsive when we reported it but it would have taken at least 48 hours to get a technician there so we ended up going to Nowra to buy our own as the temperatures were chilly in the morning and evening. So overall quite disappointing and a real shame as it really took some of the enjoyment out of our stay.

Lovely holiday home for our families

We really enjoyed our stay at Shady palms. The house had everything we required for our beachside holiday. A couple of things to mention is - The remote in the bedroom didn’t work. A fan in the bedroom without aircon would help for a comfortable sleep on the hot nights ! Otherwise this was a great house and we would love to return for a holiday in the future.

Family and Tourist Week

We were very impressed with how well stocked the cupboards were, how well equipped the kitchen was and how many cleaning products were available. It was an excellent venue for our family gathering with adult children. Our only minor issue was that the remote control for the TV in the bedroom did not seem to work, even after changing the batteries.

Nice Place

Nice place and great setup. The place could be slightly cleaner - the kitchen table hadnt been wiped down and there was a very bad mess left in one of the toilets.

It’s a clean property in a convenient location regarding accessibility to the beach & town centre.

The front door wouldn’t stay shut unless deadlocked, which isn’t ideal with children as they’re either locked in or out. Some internal doors wouldn't shut either. The bath tub plug wouldn’t stay down either. But it was clean & in a convenient location.

Modern home and close to beach

We stayed at Shady Palms for 2 weeks. We knew from the pictures of the house that there was no covering over the back decking.Because of this, we brought our own large umbrella/cabanas as shade protection and were glad we did as it got very hot. The studio room (King bed/ensuite) has an air conditioner. The bedrooms in the main house do not have aircon or fans and the rooms got very hot at night. We ended up buying fans for the bedrooms to help with the heat. I left one of the fans there. The aircon in the living area/kitchen worked well. The kitchen and facilities were well maintained and we appreciated the adequate crockery and cutlery. The bath was difficult to get into and out of for showering/bathing due to the fixed glass panel. We ended up all using the ensuite shower in the main bedroom which was fine.
