Great location air con unfortunately not working
Everything was exactly as per the accommodation description, the location was so convenient to everything in the main centre. The spa on the roof was a real treat. Unfortunately while we were there it was confirmed that the air con was not working and would need completely replacing. The managing agent was very responsive and provided a portable a/c unit and several fans. I don’t know if it was a particularly muggy week or the apartment just tend in the warmer side, but it was really quite uncomfortable to stay and particularly sleep without the a/c. Doors and windows open made no difference (apart from meaning the traffic noise was very loud). It was a shame as it really made a negative impact to what was otherwise a very lovely place.

Horrible
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property has a foul smell , kitchen garbage bin foot opening broken, main bedroom carpet dirty, middle bedroom carpet wet near window, aircon not working, dining table two chairs cushions broken, Irresponsible staff, totally unprofessional. They couldn’t fix aircon first night, told us to sleep with open windows, second whole day without aircon, than again they said sleep with open window for second night, this is something we can’t accept. We didn’t paid for sleep or staying without aircon. We didn’t have any choice so we left property on second evening.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic apartment in a very central location. Would definitely stay here again. Great value for money. Only downside was that the glass ceiling above the stairs did leak when it rained. None of my gear was damaged, however would be best if it was repaired to prevent any damage to the property. Thanks for having us!

Girls getaway
The outdoor are was quite dirty. There was a chipped coffee cup in cupboard. The carpet needs a good wash. There was not enough toilet paper supplied for 8 people. We had less than full rolls in bathrooms and only one spare. The shampoo and conditioner dispensers were all but empty. The cover over spa filter came off when the spa was turned on.

Perfect Location, yes! Perfect Property, if you don’t look too closely!
Booking this apartment was the most convoluted process I have ever experienced involving three different entities (Stayz/Escapia/Stay Port Stephens). Making the booking required a 50% up-front payment, a $1,000 deposit (refunded after the stay) and the completion of a guest agreement that needed confirmation of the age of all guests and the upload of an image of a credit card which was challenged when I provided a redacted image (to protect my security). The arrival and departure procedures involved multi-step processes to unlock one box, to access another to then gain access to the apartment. The unit itself was presentable and has recently been painted throughout and new blinds installed. You don't need to look too hard before the cracks start to show. This may have been a luxury apartment when it was built some 24 years ago, however the kitchen and bathrooms are showing signs of their advanced age, the showers both leak and result in a river of water running into the middle of the bathroom floors. The kitchen appliances are worn and there isn't a matching set of crockery, cutlery or glassware, just the remains of previous sets. The apartment would benefit from a deep clean. The rooftop terrace was a complete let down. The BBQ was barely clean, the sun beds are disintegrating and the spa is so old with broken grills and jets that it needs to be replaced. All of these things are unacceptable especially when this apartment is being marketed as 'luxury accommodation'.
