Reviewer Comments:
Property was clean and comfortable. Amazing views of Port Stephens. We particularly enjoyed sitting on front deck to relax and eat enjoying view. Comfortable beds. Short walk to Dutchies beach, however note steep stairs to and from beach. Would not recommend house for people with toddlers or elderly as the house has external and internal stairs.Good value compared to other properties.

We couldn't have picked a better location. Lovely outlook with an easy walk to Dutchman's Beach and Nelson Bay.
The house was amazing - light, airy and well appointed - everything we needed was there. We would definitely stay here again.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon
We loved the place. The view over Dutchies Beach was fabulous and we were only a 15 minute walk to town. The house was clean, well presented and a generous size for the three of us. We will visit again.
Clean, spacious, quiet with view. 15 min walk to Nelson Bay Marina, restaurants and shops and a few minutes to Dutchies beach. Just one thing that was missing was an outside umbrella for shade as gets very sunny on the balcony.
We were very happy with the house. It was well set up, a good location and the beds were excellent. I would recommend it.

Enjoyed the stay, great place close to the beach, a few issues with the main bedroom toilet but the management were quick to act but didn’t resolve the issue while we were there took too long to respond. Overall would recommend the place

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the location near the beach. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the main bedroom toilet . We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide a flawless experience. Thank you for recommending us!
Everything was good other then a giant rat that we had to chase and block off the hole it went into. Behind the dishwasher, which we had found there to be a rat trap already.

Great house in a fantastic location. Easy to get to and close to all that Port Stephens has to offer. The service provided was very professional and getting the key was trouble free. The only thing that i think is worth mentioning is that the property has a lot of stairs and also a lot of stairs to the beach. Overall though, fabulous.
