    There are some external remediation works being done to the building that did create a bit of noise, which is of course unavoidable, but a bit annoying at night as high winds caused things to bang around on the scaffolding.

    The hosts were incredibly friendly, kind and accommodating. The apartment was beautifully clean, and I’ve never stayed anywhere with so many generous additions. The apartment was very comfortable and the location convenient.

    Nothing - everything was either really good or perfect, usually the latter.

    Our hosts provided quite a lot of goodies for us to eat and drink, but to be honest, we're not really breakfast people. Mark and Karen were wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful and very friendly. BTW, the property is just around the corner from the Newcastle Beach stop on the light rail. This made travel into the City Centre really easy if we'd had a really energetic day.

    Nothing, it was perfect.

    It was better than I expected. It had everything and more. The view was magnificent, located right across the road from the beach. Great sized balcony with comfy couch. It was METICULOUSLY clean and the bed, linen etc were really comfortable. Bathroom had everything a girl could want….. body wash, shampoo & conditioner, hair dryer and even make up removal pads!!!! There was plenty of if little snacks, water and even little bottles of bubbles and wine. The host (Mark) was exceptional with instructions and recommendations for the area. Couldn’t fault it.

    There wasn't anything to dislike.

    Apartment is in a perfect location to explore Newcastle and in close proximity to the best that Newcastle has to offer. Apartment is very thoughtfully and tastefully furnished and has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Host Mark has really thought about everything to make the stay comfortable.

    It was disappointing to find the property in the middle of cladding replacement, made it feel like a construction site. Air con to the bedroom was alot less effective than the living area, it felt stuffy at times

    location, cleanliness and the effort the owners had put in to present and was made feel very welcome.

    We had to leave!!

    The view was spectacular. It was hard to leave the couch on the balcony! It was super clean and I loved all the little extras Karen had waiting for us like chocolates in the fridge, tea, coffee, sugar, chilled bottled water, magazines that were up to date!! Karen met us with the key and explained everything to us. They told us about local cafes and restaurants and where to see dolphins and seals! Both Mark and Karen couldn’t do enough for us to make sure we had a wonderful stay!! We absolutely loved going to sleep listening to the waves crashing against the shore!! Pure bliss!!
