Girls weekend

We had a great time exploring Nelson bay. The hike up mount tomaree was breathtaking, local food was yummy, the shops were fun to browse through. Everything was an easy walking distance. The stay was incredibly rejuvenating and stress free. We loved the pool and spa, views were top notch, beds comfy and the house had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Family Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The penthouse was located in the perfect location, communication from stays at port Stephens was great. We were able to walk everywhere from the apartment, only a short drive to sightsee whales. I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness, it didn’t seem to be clean by a professional prior to our arrival, the spa baths had a lot of mould build up around the jets and there was dust present, the lounge was very dirty and there was a smell present when we walked in, the conditioner in the showers were empty. It would have been helpful if there was instructions for the TV’s as I could get all to stream Netflix. For the cost of the apartment I would have expected it to be cleaned prior our stay, if I were to stay again I would check to see if the property had been maintained and cleaned

Amazing place

Absolutely amazing beautiful place. Leaving/ dining and kitchen awesome the only things that was a concern was the glass table it lifts up and the oven was hard to work out need instructions. All bedrooms can not fault at all. The outdoor area spectacular views amazing only thing half the jets worked in the spa and the lights didn’t come on up stairs which made it hard to enjoy at night.

2022 Girls Weekend

Out of almost 20 years of having g a weekend away with friends, this would have to be the best place we have stayed at for location. Parked our cara and didne need them again until we left and the apartment itself was just perfect. Can't wait to rebook next year.

A little piece of luxury

This property makes you say wow as soon as you walk in the door. The views are 360 degrees. Kitchen and living room is large which made it great for family game night. The rooftop pool was the highlight

Lovely apartment but needs deep clean & maintenance

Enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment, the views are spectacular & the plunge pool & spa are a wonderful bonus. Being in walking distance to shops, beach & marina was awesome. However needs a deep clean & attention to maintenance eg older model oven needs cleaning or replacing, couches need cleaning, under beds had small debris & thick dust, bbq cover needs replacing as ripped & difficult to put back on. When I’m paying premium prices for luxury accommodation I expect it to be spotlessly clean & have matching good quality dinnerware, glassware & cutlery for the number of guests booked. The water feature near the pool area is not working & has wiring hanging out.

Great unit. Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect spot for getting around town. The spa and roof terrace are amazing and the spa is heated. Great for those lazy afternoons. Kitchen and living area is very spacious and great for 8 people. Two main bedrooms were tops. Beds very comfortable. A/C want able to be used as dripping water into the main bedroom but we didn’t need it at this time of year. The two smaller rooms are very small but ok for younger children. Property managers were really responsive to a few issues we had. Overall a great unit.

Reviewer Comments: We booked the property for the heated pool and spa of which did not work for half the period of our stay. It took a lot of time up on calls and emails to get it fixed. The bbq and deck outside was very dirty and the place felt a little run down. It was ok but not what we were expecting from the photos.

Hire a new cleaner !

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check in was smooth and easy , the views from the rooftop are amazing , close to all amenties and very spacious apartment , however the cleanliness leaves alot to be desired , there was food scraps and bits of toys from a game board under the couches from the previous occupants , crumbs on the couch, spiderwebs in bedrooms and bathroom , dust all over the kitchen cupboards , dirt / mud on the wrap around balcony and weeds everywhere , toilet seat that was broken ! I would recommend that you hire a different cleaning company as I can see this beautiful apartment being ruined if you do not up keep and maintain this property as it deserves
