The property was close to everything. Our only issue was leaking water on bathroom
Clean property, rules were a tad overwhelming as they were everywhere. Significant leaks in the bathroom and toilet, making it a safety issue for the children. But overall, close to everything, and once the leaks are fixed, a nice place to stay

Loved staying at Nelson Bay
A very clean house. Great communication with owner. We had read reviews so brought our own wine glasses and kitchen essentials. No dishwasher. I appreciated the ceiling fans in every room. Our first visit to Nelson Bay and it was fantastic.

Comfortable, well located
The place is big, comfortable and well located in Nelsons Bay, close to the marina, shops and restaurants. Check-in and check-out was very smooth and very reasonably priced. Well-sized living and dining area. Only (small) down side is that the property isn't well-equipped with the basics, eg the glassware, crockery and cutlery is limited and mismatched (odd mugs, one champagne glass, two wine glasses etc.), basics like shampoo and conditioner, cling wrap and aluminium foil are not included, there were a few serviettes and sheets of paper towel, but for a three-day stay, we had to buy more of these... it's not the worst thing, but helpful to know to make sure you bring any basics you need.

Central location for families
This was great for two night stay, quick drive to the marina and very quiet at night to rest. Air con very welcome in the living area as well as ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Nice touches like including plenty of tea and coffee, milk, and even washing liquid to do a quick load of washing. Thank you for having us!

The house was as advertised and check in fine. Beds comfortable and the seating lounge area was good. The internet was not working and the kitchen only had 3 mismatched wine glasses but other facilities fine
