Short stay at Del Rae Unit 8

Good 'old school Aussie' holiday accommodation. Property has a beautiful location with terrific outlook over Shoal Bay from balcony. Shoal Bay is a magic place. Pity the Country Club Pub has gone 'modern' but understand why. I loved it when kids ran around the pub garden 'high on fire engines'.

Nice View

The property is in a great location and has a lovely view. The property itself is very tired and dated and is long overdue for an update. The toilet cistern continually runs and the TV stand blocks the view of the TV.

Great view! Tired old fashioned unit with plethora of handwritten signs everywhere. Main issue was that this was a working holiday so we needed wi-fi. Before we even arrived we were told there were issues. ‘Reboot modem and wait 2 hours! ‘The next day it was still not working. Staff at Port Stephens Accommodation suggested’ oh no one else had an issue!’ Whic was insulting. A staffer came and rebooted it & after when we returned from coffee it was working. They did a factory reset.In 2026 this is unacceptable.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your stay did not meet the standards we aim to provide, especially regarding the Wi‑Fi connection during your working holiday. After our phone conversation, where you mentioned you had already rebooted the modem, we initially believed the issue may have been due to human error. As soon as it became clear that the problem persisted, our team attended as quickly as possible and performed a full reset of the modem, which successfully restored the connection. We understand how important reliable Wi‑Fi is, particularly in 2026, and we are sorry that this technical issue impacted your stay. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, occasional outages can occur that are outside of our control. That said, we appreciate your patience while we resolved the matter and will continue working to improve our systems and communication. Thank you again for your feedback.
