Description of the property is spot on, property was clean , position fantastic, communication from the host Nicky was amazing!! In all our stay was exactly what we expected, loved it and will not hesitate to stay there again
We loved our stay. The location is perfect, apartment spotlessly clean with wonderful amenities. We loved kayaking out the front and enjoyed beautiful sunsets. Thank you for a lovely stay.
A fantastic modern unit right on the water. We loved the location and the apartment was the perfect getaway. The owner quickly helped us with any issues we had and the unit was spotless. Would definitely stay again if we can afford it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this waterfront property. The accommodation itself was very clean, comfortable and modern. We enjoyed spending the late afternoons on the back patio overlooking the water. It was a short drive or stroll into town. So much to do and breathtaking views!

Thanks Steven for the great feedback. You were low maintenance guests and welcome back anytime!! Nicky
This is the second time we've stayed at Sunset @ Corlette with my family and it is the perfect location and property for our needs.
There was a miscommunication in regards to the kayak info in the check in email, but the host very kindly offered us a goodwill gesture to make up for the confusion. We were very grateful for the excellent service, and will definitely stay again!
this property was in a great location upon arrival the property was clean and tidy, i would like to recommend a pergola or awning for the outside area as when it rains you have nowhere outside and water comes all the way to the back door other then this, the place i would recommend and stay again the family was very satisfied
This is a beautiful spot right on the edge of Port Stephens. It was very relaxing to spend time here watching the activity on the bay, from either inside or outside the apartment. Black swans feeding directly in front, dolphins passing, and many corellas and rainbow lorikeets in the trees above. Everything that we could have wanted was provided here. A well stocked pantry, modern appliances and a comfortable bed, and all rooms were beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean.

Thank-you Dianne for your detailed review. The nature factor you've mentioned is not something you don't expect with the stay but a gorgeous accompaniment to the location. So glad you appreciated it.....thank-again :-)
Property is easy to find and in a great location. Everything was as advertised and it represents excellent value for money.
Nicky was extremely helpful and responded immediately with clear answers which were appreciated.
All you need to do is sit back and watch the passing parade, my husband struck up a number of conversations with walkers passing by.
We enjoyed our break.

Thank you Susan - you were an amazing guest. Polite, respectful and funny! You left our unit so lovely, tidy and clean. Glad you enjoyed the stay.
We loved our stay here . We only have one thing we find was not good and that is the parking spot in the left unit only a small car can get in it “ safely “. Only because there is a weird shaped brick wall in the way not sure why it’s there but it limits peoples access to property especially when there isn’t ample parking on street and it’s a busy road . The accomodation was just right and so clean and tidy can’t recommend enough for a small family or a couple . Thank you for letting us stay .
Such a lovely location, house is well presented. The kayaks were a great addition, the water was so warm and flat. We had dolphins that came into the bay morning and at sunset.
The only downside was the parking and privacy at times. The units car spot is very difficult to get into and especially when there were 2 cars in the visitor bays.
With local kids and kids from upstairs playing out the front of our unit it took away from the tranquil surrounds and peaking in the lounge room whilst we were sitting there.
The oven and stove isn't very user friendly.
Great host very helpful and beautiful presented home.
“Sunset” at Corlette has everything you need for an enjoyable, comfortable stay. The view is beautiful and the beachside walks are lovely. Many stunning beaches are nearby as well as Tomaree National Park. There is so much to do - we hope to return!
Wow, wow, wow!
This is the third time we have been the Corlette in as many places. So far this is up the top. You can simply not beat this anywhere. Beach front, close to Nelson Bay, around the corner from Toboggan Hill Park, Dolphins, sunsets…aaaarrrhhh so much awesomeness!
We had sun, rain, cold and hot weather, it didn’t matter if we were outside on the beach, out and about or inside playing games, the place just worked it’s magic.
Thank you so much!!
Loved our stay. Lovely clean property with everything you need in excellent working order. Great location with lovely view. Close to all main attractions but nice and quiet. Perfect for our family of three, will definitely stay again.
The property was absolutely beautiful and the sunsets were amazing. Our hosts were so generous we wish we had been able to stay there for so much longer!
The owners have thought of everything you might need. We were there during a really bad stretch of weather and we were able to have an enjoyable stay. The views are beautiful. We would definitely go again.

About the host
Hosted by Nicky
I am a midwife, registered nurse and mum of three! It comes naturally to me to want to help people and meet their needs by ensuring our guest's stay is as comfortable as possible. We love our Port Stephens oasis by the sea Sunset@Corlette (unit 1) and Dolphin Shores (unit 2) and enjoy opening it up to our lovely guests.
Why they chose this property
The location is what made us buy the property. It was love at first sight when we realised we could have a piece of Australian paradise right at our own back door (sun, beach, water and breath taking view.) We spend the time here unplugging from our busy lives and just reconnect with nature and each other.
What makes this property unique
Beach and waterfront at your back door with complimentary Kayak use. Place a circumference pin on the property and you will see it is logistically the most central position in Port Stephens for all the tourist sites.
