Thank you Mark for your review. There is plenty of room for a boat, we’ve had dual axle boats that around 6 metres at the property before. The owners had extra concrete put beside the driveway to make it easier for a boat to be reversed in. Homeaway do advertise that it is an agency managed property as well. We are glad to hear that you found the property clean, tidy and well appointed, we hope to see you again in the future.

Thank you for your kind review and for choosing to stay at our cottage. We’re so pleased to hear you found the accommodation clean, comfortable, and ideally located for enjoying the beautiful walks and nearby beaches. We appreciate your comments regarding the kitchen facilities. As noted in our listing, we don’t provide pantry items, but we understand how this can be an adjustment for some guests and will consider ways to make this clearer or more convenient. Your suggestions regarding kitchen tools are also helpful, and we’ll look into how we can improve this aspect for future stays. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us continue to improve. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback, Cathryn. We’re sorry to hear that a number of aspects of the property and your experience did not meet expectations. We appreciate you highlighting the issues regarding access, signage, driveway, bedding configuration, and general maintenance items. We will be passing all of this feedback on to the owner for review, including the concerns around cleanliness, exhaust fans, door locks, and safety items such as the handrail. For clarity, the property details—including information about air conditioning, linen requirements, and features—are outlined in the listing to assist guests in making an informed decision prior to booking. We also appreciate your feedback about the kitchen provisions and bedding comfort. We do encourage guests to raise any concerns during their stay, as this allows us the opportunity to assist and resolve issues promptly where possible. Regarding communication, our emails are automated and intended to provide helpful reminders and key information throughout the booking process. We understand your preference for fewer messages and appreciate that feedback. Thank you again for your detailed comments—they are valuable in helping us and the owner improve the experience for future guests. Thanks McGrath Port Stephens
