Sand and sea at Dutchie Beach

Clean, spacious, quiet with view. 15 min walk to Nelson Bay Marina, restaurants and shops and a few minutes to Dutchies beach. Just one thing that was missing was an outside umbrella for shade as gets very sunny on the balcony.

Wonderful location

We loved the place. The view over Dutchies Beach was fabulous and we were only a 15 minute walk to town. The house was clean, well presented and a generous size for the three of us. We will visit again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house in a fantastic location. Easy to get to and close to all that Port Stephens has to offer. The service provided was very professional and getting the key was trouble free. The only thing that i think is worth mentioning is that the property has a lot of stairs and also a lot of stairs to the beach. Overall though, fabulous.

Birthday Retreat

We celebrated my mum’s 60th and father in law’s 68th birthdays over 6 days at the property. Good communication with the property manager - responsive and flexible! Location was good - amazing views but the beach access was a bit difficult for the older family members to walk down to. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable stay. Thanks for the hospitality! J
