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.

Great spot, walking distance to town via Cycleway, quick walk to beach, great sunsets from the balcony. Was spacious enough for 3 of us, wifi worked well, beds were comfy but pillows were poor quality and need replacing. Didn’t like the fact we had to make our own beds on arrival, no toiletries apart from hand soap, second bedroom had dusty floor and rotten apple core under bed, pillow had stains on it, no tea, coffee or milk provided, and it was very damp due to condensation on windows.

Great two bedroom apartment overlooking beach
This property is perfectly located overlooking Dutchman's beach, a stones throw from the ocean and reasonably priced. It’s located in a quiet area with a full kitchen and two bedrooms with a door to separate the lounge. My kids enjoyed being able to duck down to the beach with ease and I really enjoyed watching the sunsets and enjoying the birdlife. My only suggestion would be to provide towels and there was a little bit of mould on one of the blinds that triggered my lungs but otherwise a fantastic property that I will stay at again if we go back to Nelson Bay.

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.

Beautiful stay
We had such a wonderful stay! The apartment was so well equipped and the view was sensational. We loved the quick access to dutchies and we spent every day at the beach! It was quite hot in the apartment with only fans as we had 30 degree days and our kids did struggle a bit with the heat as we are from a cool climate. We had such a wonderful stay and would definitely return! Just to note the main garbage bins weren’t emptied on the Monday and the smell was very strong near the stairs. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Welcome to Paradise
My husband & I stayed here for 2 weeks and we wished we had stayed for longer. I don't think you could get a more perfect location - magical views over Dutchman's Beach and just a minute's walk before your toes are in the water & walking distance to the shops in Nelsons Bay. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly require & stocked it. I hope to be able to visit again.
