    Sofa bed was not overly comfortable The pool was much smaller than anticipated.

    This compact apartment was great and well equipped for a weekend away! It was easy to check in and the host was friendly and communicative when needed! The balcony was cute! Location is close to everything

    Only nitpicking really as we enjoyed our stay! But a full roll of toilet paper would have been appreciated (we had to do a dash to Woolies) and instructions for the portacot.

    The unit is a great location and was well presented and nice and clean. Great size main bedroom. My daughter loved the rocking horse and beanbag chair. Would recommended a stay here.

    Nothing major to report

    Very comfortable and stylish apartment with lots of home comforts such as full kitchen, bbq, laundry, Netflix to use. Proximity to beach and local shops was useful but it's also a good base to get around the whole Port Stephens area. Great communication from owner!

    We loved everything.

    The apartment was spotlessly clean. It was beautifully presented and had everything you could possibly need for a great stay. Every room had a balcony with seating and the master bedroom had a double aspect making it really bright. The beds were comfortable as was the lounge furniture. The location was ideal for us as we love peace and quiet. A short walk to the beach. We walked into Shoal Bay for the cafés. We were also able to walk into Little Beach and Nelson Bay. I did notice a bus stop outside the apartment but not sure how frequent the buses were. I would rebook without hesitation.

    Dirty towels left in washing machine. No dishwasher tablets provided. Poor quality Bed Linen & pillows. Non stick pots & frypans need replacing as surfaces badly scratched.

    Great Location. Secure & quiet.Short walk to beach & into Shoal Bay. Also walked to Little Beach Boathouse, which is a lovely place to have a drink on deck over looking the water. Very Spacious living area & very comfortable.

    Perfect in every way apart from an issue with the bed.

    The evening we arrived, we realised that the bed was broken, meaning it slanted down on one side. This made for uncomfortable nights of sleep during our stay when we had booked this to be able to relax and recharge. We did make the host aware of this on the first day, but unfortunately nothing was able to be done about this during our stay. We would have loved to rate this accommodation higher, but the broken bed brought the score down for us.

    Location was perfect, a short walk from the beach and also from Shoal Bay. The apartment was very well equipped with everything you needed. Was decorated to a high standard with lovely touches that made it feel very homely. It also felt very safe. Free parking was an added bonus.

    The bathroom was very small. The electric hot water system didn't get the water hot enough for a comfortable shower..

    The apartment was a great size and in the perfect location. We cycled to Fingal Bay, walked up Mount Tomaree and swam at Shoal Bay beach. The bedrooms were spacious and the balcony was an excellent spot to eat lunch in the sun. The kitchen was well equipped, although the cooktop was slow to heat.

    The pantry has over stuffed with expired honey, oil, knives. The shower doesn’t have enough hot water last for more than one person shower.

    It’s close to Shoal bay, 3-5 mins walking, it’s nice cosy little 2 bedroom unit.

    The property had not been cleaned when we arrived around 2pm. It took a couple of hours to contact the owner on the emergency number provided and the cleaner eventually turned up at 5pm. We were promised a 30% reduction in our cost but to date I have not received a credit to my credit card. The pillows provided were very soft and provided no support. I think they need to improve the quality of the pillows, otherwise everything was good.

    Location was good and the property suited our needs for a two night stay.
