Lovely house close to the beach

We were two families with kids and had a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well equipped , the ping pong table and large backyard were the highlight for the kids. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant house for 2 families of 4 and 2 grandparents. Spacious with a great layout for us all. Grandparents stayed in granny flat downstairs (own bathroom and kitchenette) and loved it. Table tennis is a fun addition! Easy location to Nelson Bay town, Shoal Bay beach (10-15min walk or a few minutes by car), Tomaree heads for great walks and sight seeing. Thanks for a great stay.

A beautiful home away from home

The house was lovely. It was clean, well styled, fully stocked and had lovely outdoor seating both out the front and out the back. We felt very comfortable and would absolutely book the house again. The host, Kyle, was very responsive and helpful - evening adding a photo of the portacot to the listing for us to see. Overall a truly lovely holiday experience!

Clean house in good location

Clean house in good location. An important factor that we didn’t realise is that two bedrooms are only accessed via external stairwell and through the garage. Bathrooms are quite dated. Overall we had a great stay but important to note these two points.

Dear Shelley, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness and location of the house. Regarding the access to the two bedrooms via the external stairwells, we do include this detail in our property description to ensure guests are informed. However, we understand how it can be an unexpected aspect for some, and we appreciate your understanding. We also value your comments on the bathrooms and will consider this for future improvements to better serve our guests. The bathrooms at present have been updated, painted, and include new sinks/ vanity/ mirrors. It’s wonderful to know you had a great overall stay, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Warm regards, Kyle, Nikki, Daniel and Kellie

Wedding weekend

The house was perfect. Exactly as described. The bedding was very comfortable and good quality. The kitchen it is so well equipped. Down stairs is perfect for the kids as there is table tennis and other games for them to play with. Kyle was always contactable and was lovely enough to let us in early. Would certainly stay again.

Big house

The house is in a good location with a great number of bedrooms. The kitchen is very well-equipped and fully stocked. However, the two downstairs rooms, located off the garage, can get quite hot. There is no dryer available, but overall, the house is quite comfortable.

Dear Sanish Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay on 20 February 2026. We take cleanliness very seriously and were disappointed to read your comments. Our carpets were professionally cleaned approximately eight weeks prior to your stay as part of our regular maintenance program. Additionally, our housekeeping team follows a detailed cleaning checklist before each guest arrival. That said, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback has been shared with our housekeeping team so we can review our processes and ensure our standards are consistently met. Guest feedback is extremely important to us as it helps us continue improving the experience we provide. If there was anything specific we may have missed during your stay, we would have welcomed the opportunity to address it immediately. Kind regards, Management
