Shoal Bay Break

Take a short break... nice part of the world the Nelson Bay Area... last there in 1975! wholesale changes as one would expect but still a nice place with plenty to do and see. The rental property was also very nice and well located. The stairs were not quite what I anticipated, 4th floor (3 + garage) walk-up.... but worth the effort. Initially we had access issues... Three sets of keys that did not fit the suspect door lock!!! Give me a break! It's after hours on a Friday afternoon and in all the paperwork provided no after hours contact info!!! After scouring the internet about the property, eventually located and emergency after hours number and some time later a real estate agents representative shows up... eventually we have one key that is of use if you work it carefully. We were advised that a locksmith would be there that evening or the next day... still haven't seen any sign of a lock smith... Apart from that drama which is pretty poor for anyone with the gaul to call themselves property management... the stay was quite ok. The rental itself has a tremendous view and great proximity to the beach. Handy to the various retail areas of Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. Most likely will revisit again now we've got a better feel for the place.

Hi David, Thank you for your feedback on your stay at 11/3 Intrepid. We are glad you enjoyed the beautiful view and close proximity to the beach. Please note we have had no previous issues with the keys for this unit. When you called, a staff member was out to the unit to help you within 10 minutes. She went through all the keys with you and showed you that they worked and left you with two sets of keys. Our staff member also informed you that she was on call after hours if you had any further issues and would get the locksmith to attend to assist you. Thanks McGrath Port Stephens

Fabulous view ....loved the sound of the waves at night !

Great proximity to beach and amenities. Owners have taken care to kindly provide lots of extras like S &P sugar paper towels and other necessities. Much appreciated. Unfortunately BBQ did not work and the 44 stairs to the apartment was not the easiest, particularly with a heart issue. Did not realise that there was not lift access.

Amazing place!

We spent a week at this accomodation and absolutely loved it! The location is great if you’re keen to spend some time in the ocean and in walking distance of cafe’s and a short 2km into the town centre! We really enjoyed the comfortable living spaces and style of the apartment. As first time visitors to Nelson Bay, we will 100% be coming back, and recommending this accomodation.
