It was a wonderful family getaway to celebrate our beautiful mums 80th Birthday. The home was fantastic and the view was magnificent. We were very fortunate getting to see so many whales and dolphins putting on a fabulous display for us the entire weekend of our stay. Would highly recommend Waves at Boat Harbour

We appreciate your kind recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in the future. McGrath Port Stephens
Amazing property, location and set-up. Beam in the living room was perfect for stringing up some Taylor swift-esque bridal shower decorations.Unfortunately we found some dirty/mouldy dishes underneath clean dishes in the cupboards, likely from a lazy person who stayed there before. We washed them but worth being mindful and passing on to the property cleaners.Also we wanted to vacuum but the Dyson wasn’t charged, so you might find confetti on the floor…soz.

Thank you Gemma, for your kind words — we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the property, the location, and that it was a great fit for the bridal shower. The Taylor Swift-inspired decorations sound amazing!
We really appreciate you letting us know about the dishes. That’s definitely not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll make sure our cleaning team is aware so it doesn’t happen again. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
