About this property

The Boathouse on the Beach - Contemporary Waterfront Holiday Home

The Boathouse is located on a much sought-after and exclusive stretch of waterfront at Corlette. The view of the tree-dotted manicured garden reserve, beach and Port Stephens Harbour is simply divine. The picturesque white sandy beach is a calm water harbour beach, ideal for families with little ones. This splendid architecturally-designed duplex takes full advantage of its superb location. The three bedrooms and loft can sleep up to 10 adults and this fabulous beach house is just 5 minutes drive to Nelson Bay’s town centre.

The ground floor consists of the open plan living areas including a kitchen, dining room and lounge room with air-con, TV and a cosy fireplace, which all share the serene sea views, plus there’s a bathroom and a second lounge room with TV. The living areas spill out to the lawn and an undercover patio with a BBQ and outdoor dining setting. Conveniently, there’s an outdoor shower and rack to hold your paddle boards. Running parallel with the beach there’s a pathway through the peaceful, lush reserve, perfect for the kids to ride scooters or bikes along. Or, wander 100m along the path to a waterfront children’s playground and the Peppers-owned Anchorage for seaside dining or pampering yourself at the Anchorage’s renowned day spa. Alternatively, take this delightful coastal path and ride or stroll for 4 km into Nelson Bay’s town centre and famous d’Albora Marina. Dolphins are often spotted from the pretty beach and the kids are sure to relish their time exploring, swimming and playing on the beach and waterfront reserve. Bring your fishing rods, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards and make the most of this tranquil beachside locale.

The upstairs consists of three bedrooms, the loft and a shared bathroom. The palatial master bedroom with King bed has soaring curved timber ceiling, air-con, bar-fridge, TV, ensuite and a private balcony with sun loungers, seating and a birds eye view of the leafy parklands and glistening water. The second bedroom has a queen bed, ceiling fan and panel wall heater. The third bedroom has two king-single beds, a ceiling fan and panel wall heater. The loft is accessed by its own separate staircase and is comprised of a queen bed, king-single bed and a trundle suitable for a child.

We had a wonderful family weekend away at this lovely property. Its great location makes it perfect for exploring the local area. The place is well-equipped and incredibly comfortable.Our only feedback is that it’s due for a thorough clean. The shutters and windows/fly screens are particularly dirty, especially in the bedrooms. This was disappointing considering they’re where you sleep and given the price point, you’d expect them to be immaculate.

You might like to clean under white couch. Downstairs bathroom/laundry glass shelf is loose, and unusable. Dinning room table wobbly, Upstairs sunlounger had a rip in it. These are just to let you know, we had a great holiday thank you .

A beautiful location

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: Our family of 9 had a wonderful stay at Corlette - perfect location (especially with toddlers) and beautiful accommodation. We would love to return. There were just a few amenities missing that might be expected in a holiday house. An outside umbrella so that we could use the outside table on sunny days. A clothes horse and laundry basket so we could dry clothes on a rainy day. Waste baskets in bedrooms/bathrooms upstairs. Serving spoons. All easily rectified... We still had a great holiday and would recommend to others.

Location - it was in a quiet area of Collette and very close to the beach. Loved how there was a grass area at the back so we set up badminton for the kids to play when they had enough time at the beach.Cleanliness of the property - well...when we got there the floors felt sticky, the was sand on the floors and in the bathrooms, there were crumbs on the dining table, chairs and the mat underneath the dinning table/area. Luckily, there was a great Miele Vacuum cleaner so we spent some time cleaning the house. We had spent about 3 hours driving and to then have to vacuum was not something we expected. Also, the bedding...maybe rotating the doonas and pillows would be something to incorportate. We thought the problem was the doona cover and pillow cases, which the property manager organised quickly. But the doona in the upstairs bedroom smelt quite bad, someone had obviously slept with the doona under their armpit. The two pillows in the master bed room did not smell any better. The rest of the residence was a bit dusty with some cobwebs.Considering the price of the accommodation I was not anticipating these problems...until I read previous reviews and it is obviously not a new problem. Besides the cleanliness issues it was a nice stay.

Hi Lilian, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and the quiet setting, as well as the outdoor space for the children. However, we would like to clarify a few points regarding the cleanliness concerns raised. When you contacted our office, you advised that the doona cover was not clean, and no further specific details were provided at that time. Our team arranged for the cleaner to attend the property promptly to address this, which we understand was resolved during your stay. Had more detailed information been provided during the initial call, we would have ensured the cleaner attended fully prepared with replacement items, including a new doona insert if required. No additional concerns regarding cleanliness were raised with our office during your stay. As always, we strongly encourage guests to report any issues as soon as possible so they can be promptly rectified—our team and cleaners are always available to attend and resolve matters quickly when given the opportunity. For your reassurance, the property has recently undergone a thorough spring clean, and we continue to monitor and maintain our cleaning standards closely. We do appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that, aside from these concerns, you had an overall enjoyable stay. Stay Port Stephens Team
