This unit is extremely central to everything in Sawtell, I would definitely recommend this place.
Very comfortable clean close to beach and Main Street. Only negative was having to scan my drivers license and Mastercard online ( after I had paid ) I don’t normally do this when booking with stayz ( as I am concerned about security. )

The property is clean and comfortable, although air conditioning is needed, the unit was very hot throughout the day and till late at night. Close to all facilities in Sawtell, just around the corner to the Main Street.Easy check in and out, Real Estate keeps in touch with instructions and information. Excellent service, property location, cleanliness and comfort.

Clean, well appointed apartment in great location. No wifi. No airconditioning. No electric blankets. Small heater.
Clean little unit across the road from the beach. Wasn’t a big fancy place but good for what we wanted, a cheap getaway close to the beach. The unit is upstairs (no lifts etc) so if you have mobility issues it may be a problem.
Unit is stocked with plenty of games and movies for quiet days. Good coffee at the lifesaving club across the road. And dinners were good at the RSL which is also across the road (all walking distance).
Our only issue was the screen door at the entrance which didn’t close properly unless you lifted it.

No problems with the property overall. It was clean and well equipped, but on arrival there was a bad smell in the unit - maybe damp carpet, or something like that. So we basically had to open all doors and windows to ease the issue. I did go and see the people who rent the property, but not sure anything was done - the lady did not write down my name, property address or anything to do with the issue, so I assumed nothing would happen. We booked it for 2 nights, but we were ready to leave next day, but couldn't get into our next accommodation earlier, so had to stay the second day. Overall ok, but smell issue needs to be addressed.

We spent four nights in the property for us to visit coffs harbour and surrounding towns. The property is clean and well-maintained with everything a small family needs. It's a prefect hide-away. We are glad we did not choose coffs harbour to stay but this quieter town. The property is right opposite to beach and a walking distance to local bar and restaurants.

We had a great stay. The unit was very clean and had everything required for our comfort. The washing machine and dryer was convenient even though it was located outside. Would recommend this unit to stay if you are ok with stairs as it is on the second floor.

Very clean apartment, would describe our stay as good noy great but certainly good. Parking leaves a bit to be desired and as we had to empty the rubbish bin we had to hunt to find it. I would recommend it as it is very close to everything. Four stars out of five. Thanks.
The property was not expensive and location was good. However, the TV and controller didn’t work.
In this age a working Television and handset are basic. Neither were good. The unit was very basic but that’s okay if it has a working television. Lack of air conditioning was very noticeable in the humidity and the fans need replacing too.
