Loved this property especially the outlook to the water. Very relaxing holiday. Value for money.
Had a wonderful time swimming at Dutchies Beach every morning only a short stroll from our accommodation. Loved the decor and ammenities. Great spot with lots to see. Went for a reunion with army buddies and totally enjoyed the area, could have stayed longer.

Fab location
Great little unit with everything needed. No air con but lots of fans and the ability to open the big doors and windows to allow the sea breezes through.Super clean and fresh. Location was great. Views from the balcony over Dutchies Beach were lovely to watch the dolphins and sunsets. Quick walk to beach - which is a plus these days with pay parking that’s been introduced across the Bay Area. Small walk into town for dinners. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

An Amazing Holiday...
We have stayed twice at Dutchies and have loved it both times. The unit is lovely inside, the beach is a walk down the stairs away and Nelson Bay ten minutes away..

Excellent property
We had a wonderful stay at this property, wished it could have been longer. Rained most days but the view from the open verandah was amazing, with something happening on the water every minute. The unit was well stocked with everything you would requiire. Bed was really comfortable and shower was very good. Only downside is no Aircon for summer. stays. But we will be back. Loved it.

Nice stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, lovely view & convenient access to a great child friendly beach. Only a three drive to the Main Street. The unit was clean although I had to pop out to buy pillows and blankets as the pillows were heavily stained and the quilts had an odd smell & needed a wash.
