excellent location - quick easy walk to a beautiful beach and an easy walk (around 20 minutes) to Nelson Bay shops. The house was very clean and was set up well for 6 people. There is a lovely outside deck with bbq and a view over the water. Check-in was easy and the owners and agent were very helpful.

This property was perfect for our stay. The location was central and close to all of our planned activities. The place was well equipped with all the basics needed.We had afternoon visits from the rainbow lorikeets. It is an easy walk down to the beach. The only thing that was advertised incorrectly was that it says Bedroom 3 included 1 Queen Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed. My 2 grandchildren were using this room and were planning on sleeping separately. The sofa bed was not in this room.

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.
