About this property

Gidgets on Gretel - less than 250m from the beach

Holiday Rental Specialists are pleased to present Gidgets on Gretel which is ideal for families with pets.

This property offers linen with beds made and contactless entry with key safes for your convenience.

Welcome to Gidgets on Gretel where all your cares will melt away, as you settle into your groovy beach abode. This simple, but thoughtfully curated beach-side hideaway, nestles between Little Beach and Shoal Bay beach and is not more than 300 metres from either. Relax in the leafy backyard that leads you directly onto the footpath to the beach. Rinse off under the outdoor shower when you’ve had enough of surf and sand and enjoy a family BBQ while you chill out for the evening.

The duplex sits on the ground floor and has been furnished with casual comfort and relaxation in mind. A well-stocked kitchen will delight you with its vintage treasures and has everything you need to cook up a feast. Enjoy your spoils in the eat-in kitchen area or head outside to the outdoor setting and take in the serenity. Two good-sized bedrooms, both with queens will accommodate your group and there is a day bed in the living area that can sleep an additional guest or child. A light-filled bathroom with walk-in shower and a laundry completes the picture.

Gidgets on Gretel is in an enviable location set between two beaches yet an easy stroll to the cafes, bars and restaurants of either Shoal Bay or Nelson Bay. Just around the corner is Nelson Bay RSL or for something a little more sophisticated is the wonderful Little Beach Boat House. Here you can enjoy drinks and Tapas downstairs on the jetty, overlooking the gin clear waters of Little Beach or more formal dining upstairs where chef Ben Hall will delight your taste buds.

For the adrenalin junkies head out to the sand dunes for an afternoon of action-packed adventure or the endless ocean vistas of Birubi Beach, One Mile or Boat Harbour. Take advantage of the many day trips leaving from Port Stephens and take a tour of the Hunter district's wineries and craft brewers followed by a delectable lunch. Whether you’re seeking adventure or just somewhere to chill and watch the world go by, Gidget’s on Gretel is perfectly positioned to make the most of your time in wonderful Port Stephens.

No as expected
The place is good but wasn't clean with carpets with so many dirty spots, the sofa is well overdue for replacement, no extractor in the bathroom, and needed to keep the blinds down as we could not have privacy. The parking and entrance were dirty, full of leaves and dust

Good location
Expensive to take your dog. Stayed in a lot of dog friendly places and never had to pay this much so that was disappointing but overall it was fine. But would recommend tiles instead of carpet. Lots of old spills for which we were not responsible.
