We had a wonderful stay, the views from the house over the bay are simply breathtaking. The house itself is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The pool was a real highlight for our kids. The location is also very convenient for getting around to Nelson bay etc. Our only small suggestions for improvement were that the TV in the main living area wasn’t able to connect to the internet and there is no speaker to play music from. Also no dustpan and brush to be able to sweep. But these are minor and easily fixable and certainly wouldn’t put me off staying again :)

A Little Piece of Paradise

What an amazing property and we felt so lucky to be able to stay there. It was clean and tidy with all the amenities required and the outlook is spectacular. Our only issue was finding the entrance to the property, advertised as Randall Street but the entrance of Scott Drive is not marked - lucky for nice neighbours who could advise us.

Beautiful place with even better views

A beautiful house with stunning water views, the place is very clean and is perfect for a small family or even a couples weekend away. Has a great pool which is heated, good bbq and kitchen with any appliance that you need for breakfast and dinners. A bit difficult to find when first arriving as it's down a pretty hidden and narrow driveway, so i recommend a smaller car to get there. But other than that minor issue everything else was fantastic Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice getaway

The house itself was beautiful, but check-in was a mess. The security latch was across the door, and the garage remote didn’t work. When we got in, the house hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guests. After contacting Stay Port Stephen’s, they sent a cleaner right away, but the communication was lacking until we complained. They offered a late check-out and refunded our booking fee. As someone in the industry, I’d recommend they ensure properties are cleaned before guest arrival.

Hi Diane, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at High View Holiday House, we are terribly sorry to hear that the check in process wasn't as smooth as it should have been, we did arrange a technician to attend promptly, and also with the cleaner who advised she had overlooked the clean by mistake, but again she attended promptly to rectify the issue so you could continue with a comfortable stay. I can assure you the communication did not lack until you complained, we answered your calls and we actioned the issues very promptly. Kind Regards, Stay Port Stephens Team

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A delightful property, perfect for 2 families sharing, great location. Was as expected from the photos. Well stocked with everything you will need and stunning views to relax. Happily return. The poolIs accessed by external stairs (as advertised) which was not a problem for the younger generation family members but a little harder for the grand parents. Thank goodness for the ping pong table as we had a few days of rain so kept us all occupied. Brand new luxury bathrooms and high end appliances

Togetherness

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First impression clean and inviting, but quickly realised not suitable for a group to relax together. Two small balconies on different levels. Seats 2-3 persons at one time, no good when you are a group of 5!!! Lot of steps down to pool, it has a deck but no outdoor furniture to sit on and relax. Only place to come together was around dinning table. Trip hazard at kitchen as floor level slightly higher than dinning area. Kitchen bench cracked, laminate coming off drawers and cupboards. Loose handles on bedroom and toilet doors.

Family Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a delightful home! I had my mother, sister and our 2 kids (each) with me on this stay and I was very impressed. The home was impeccably clean (thank you) and ready for us to begin enjoying the minute we stepped in. I read in previous reviews that some people felt the layout was a little disjointed, but it suited us perfectly! The kids had their own space, leaving us adults alone for some quality mum/daughter time. Despite the heavy rainfalls from previous days and some minor electrical issues at first —-which is absolutely expected—-we had no other problems occur. The rooms were great, bed comfy and bathrooms excellent. Overall, we enjoyed our time away immensely. Just a small caution, the location of the home while FANTASTIC (those views were amazing) meant that to access the pool, you are required to go down some steps. Those with smaller children (mine are 9) may need some care. I have stayed in many beautiful homes across NSW, Holiday View was amongst the best. Ill be back!
