Reviewer Comments:
Lovely place for a vacation. The house itself was so beautiful and well organised. Very spacious inside with beautiful decorations. The only drawback for us the oldies was the driveway situation and the 30steps stairs. Very hard to drive up and also the TV keeps stopping because of the internet or the WIFI connections. It keeps losing connections all the time. Needs to be fixed. Apart from that everything was perfect.

We had a great stay. Lovely view. Great deck space. Bright feel inside from the living and kitchen areas. Easy walk to local shops & takeaway food. Ducted air-conditioning made it very comfortable through the whole house, as it was hot outside. We would stay again.

Hi Kirsten,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved the view, deck space, and the bright feel inside.
It’s great to hear that the ducted air-conditioning kept you comfortable during the warm weather. We’re also happy you found the location convenient with easy access to local shops and takeaways. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!
Once you navigate the steep driveway and 2 flights of stairs, the effort is well worth it. Fabulous views were amazing and my friends and I had a great time sitting out on the deck watching the sunrise and sunsets, and a short stroll to the beach. Would definitely come back again...

Had a wonderful time at Wanda Point House. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Views were spectacular. Loved sitting out on the deck taking in the views. And waking up in the morning with the views from the bedroom was an added bonus. Access to dog friendly beach was brilliant for our border collie. Driveway was a challenge to get car up, but we opted to park on road and walk up, so wasn'ta problem. Plus it was great exercise. And well worth it with the views that we had.

Hi Erika,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time at Wanda Point House and that you found it comfortable and well-equipped for your stay. The views really are something special, and we're glad you enjoyed relaxing on the deck and waking up to that spectacular outlook.
It’s great to hear your border collie made the most of the nearby dog-friendly beach too! And thank you for your understanding about the driveway—we agree, the views at the top make it well worth the effort.
We’d love to welcome you back again in the future!

We all enjoyed our stay and were comfortable. Lovely house and top view. We all agreed that the TV in the bedroom with the ensuite should be replaced with a smart tv. It was disappointing the the tv in that room didn’t work.

On behalf of the team at Stay Port Stephens, I would like to thank you for staying with us and your feedback which we will pass on to the owner.
the premises was great - it met our expectation - the premises was well presented, comfortable and the balcony was one of the best features of the house. our dog loved the backyard a new place to explore. we all enjoyed our stay - however the steep driveway damaged the front of our car. we left car on the road as not to damage the car more.

The house is fantastic. Really impressive. The deck is amazing. Great amenities. 5mins walk to the village. 3 mins walk to the beach. We would definitely stay again. In fact we extended by one night. The driveway is very steep and there are a lot of stairs to access the property but the listing does mention this and we were fine with it. May not be so suitable for people who struggle with stairs or steep gradients.

“Thanks so much for sharing your feedback and experience with us. We hope to see you again soon.”
The house was a good size, and in a good location . Some of the door locks did not seem to work well, and some of the light bulbs needed replacing. The internet also was not working, but we managed ok ,by using our phones to hotspot. The driveway is quite steep and the flights of stairs might be challenging for any with mobility issues though not for the able bodied. The house is close to some handy local shops, and a short drive to lots of local sights. The view from the house is lovely, and having the scenery and local wildlife in view is nice.
