COMMENTS FROM RECENT GUESTS

Overall rating 5 out of 5
As a holiday property manager Ive seen inside hundreds of holiday rentals and know its rare to get the balance just right. The location has to be great (Woody's is waterfront reserve meaning you get the view but also the grassy space, white sandy beach is 2 mins walk with a tidal beach in front, & its 5 mins walk to park and shops), it also has to have comfortable beds and be presented clean and uncluttered. Woody's delivers on all (its spotless!), 2 bathrooms, no stairs - easy for elderly and unpacking, balcony table/chairs with large BBQ, linen is provided - basically everything that you could want on a holiday. An added plus is that the owners are on site so can offer helpful local advice, in their friendly non intrusive manner - no dealing with unanswered calls from a r/e if help is required. This really is a special place and was a real find. I'm torn between sharing the secret and keeping it to myself, but the wonderful owners deserve the recognition...so the secrets out! Woody's is the best

"What a find! Great accommodation in a great location - clean and spacious, great kitchen, great BBQ, fantastic balcony and a view to die for. Having the council reserve at the back was an added bonus - great for the kids to run around in. The kids loved hunting for yabbies at low tide and using them as bait fishing off the back wall - all within site of the balcony. We will definitely be back."

Steve,

Thanks for the great holiday, loved the house

Henk Rated 5/5

Accommodation was excellent and the web site does not do it justice. We could NOT have been better looked after. We had great access to our boat with the water right in front. The kitchen facilities were 1st class, so, much so we decided to eat in and cook up our own feast.

Hi Steve, Just a quick note to say thank you for the hospitality you afforded us on the weekend. Woody Place was the perfect place for us and we enjoyed the view from the balcony very much. We would definitely choose Woody's Place again the next time we venture up to Port Stephens. All the best,
Edwin

We have been holidaying at Soldiers Point for over twenty years and had a week at "Woodys Place".
I recommend it to everyone, the accommodation is fantastic. Great outlook with 3 good bedrooms,
But best of all no noise. All in all we had a great rest.
Steve and his family are good hosts.
