I’m so glad you enjoyed that beautiful outlook and the pool area (it really is a bit of a scene-stealer). And you were an absolute pleasure to host. Come back anytime for round two.
This was one of the most beautiful properties we have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect, such stunning scenery and a fantastic holiday made easy by our welcoming property manager and host. Highly recommend.

That is great that you enjoyed your stay. I am glad to have been able to organise to install a gas heater for the main living area and also heaters for the bedrooms. Most of the time it isn't needed but when there is a cold snap it makes the house very cosy!
Property was fantastic! Clean, fully equiped and very comfortable. Lots of heating even though it wasn't required most times. The views from the property were amazing and so was the location. We had a wonderful time, thanks!

I am so glad you enjoyed. Winter can be a wonderful time to be there and of course the pool and spa is heated!
Enjoyed our stay. Everything you need is provided, though property is looking a bit tired overall, photos may need updating.
The issue with property entry fobs is a security risk - garage was opening by itself at times when other residents were coming and going .
Short walk through bush to the beach is nice.
Overall comfortable stay. and excellent check-in process by caretaker.
Would consider staying here again.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your feedback. I will follow up on the garage door remote - sounds like it needs reprogramming. We will be doing some updates to refresh the property after a busy season.
The bush track to One Mile Beach is very pleasant way to get to the beach and back.
What an amazing little piece of paradise! We stayed at the house for 2 nights and had the most delightful time. Seamless check in process, with Zac being available for anything we needed. The house was very clean and spacious. It had lots of areas to escape from the family and have time to yourself. Views from the property were out of this world and it was a great location! We will be back ❤️

I am glad you enjoyed the view. With the house positioned on the ridge the view is spectacular. I appreciate your feedback about the heating; it has been a particularly cold winter this year and we are looking into additional heating.
I hope you will return to stay during the summer and experience the house as a summer beach house!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I spent 3 days there with my wife. We had a good time but the property clearly needs some maintenance/renovations. There's nothing luxurious about it. The fitout is old and needs repairs throughout. The property is also not a villa, it's a unit/townhouse within a 28 units complex. The ad leads you to believe it has a private pool and spa when in fact it's part of the common property and shared among all units. It does have gorgeous views and is well located but don't expect much more than that.
Pros:
-nice views
-good location
Cons:
-not at all luxurious as advertised
-pool/spa is not private, quite the opposite
-Bbq doesn't work/broken
-nespresso machine leaks water
-overall old and damaged fitout
-full of mosquitoes inside the house when we arrived. I had to kill them all and ask the caretaker to clean the house because the dead bodies were literally everywhere
-towels provided will turn your skin black, particularly hands and under the nails, which is very disappointing after showering
-the drains in one of the bathrooms started smelling real bad after the first day

Stunning retreat
Incredible location. Amazing views.
Great facilities.
We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute.
The balcony has great views which can also be viewed from inside the living room. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool/spa which were very relaxing.
We also loved the fact that it was somewhat in a secluded part of the local area while still very close to all attractions.

It is a very special location and I glad you enjoyed your stay.
Great accommodation in a fabulous location. The only minor criticism would be the house is just starting to get a little tired and in need of a good spring clean. But the fundamentals are great: new couches, good beds, good fridge, good bathrooms, awesome TV and Foxtel HD etc. highly recommended.

I am glad you enjoyed the house and stay. We have been gradually updating everything, having recently updated the living and dining room decor with a fresh Hamptons look. The next updates will be re painting and new carpet. It has had a spring clean a few weeks ago and I think the new paint and carpet and a few other touches will make it gleam! Stay tuned.
A group of 6 adults for 3 nights - this was absolutely perfect. Beautiful views, close to the beach and a great infinity pool. Comfortable accommodation. Fantastic place for quality time with friends.
Complete perfection from initial contact to check out. Amazing view and beautiful area. Definitely will be coming back.

I am so glad you enjoyed the property and your stay Daniel. It is indeed a stunning view and a magical area with so many natural and beautiful wonders to admire and experience. We will welcome you back anytime.
Fantastic house with breathtaking views. We loved the infinity pool and balcony views particularly. The Port Stephens area also has plenty of options in terms of water sports and dining out. Birubi Beach is beautiful and a must see.
I don't think you could be disappointed with this property or location!

That’s great that you enjoyed the house and views and the pool. And all the activities and beauty that Port Stephens has to offer! Birubi is indeed stunning, with the unusual western perspective which makes for wonderful sunsets. Not to mention the surfing, horse and camel riding, sand sliding and great 4 wheel driving.
Lovely home with sweeping views of the beach. The home was comfortable for our family, with plenty of room for the kids to run around.
We visited over the Australia Day long weekend with very high temperatures, and while the listing mentions air conditioning, it is only available in the kids room downstairs. Upstairs remained incredibly warm and stuffy, even with the ceiling fans on. Glenyss and Alan were kind and very quick to provide a solution, by bringing over two brand new pedestal fans which made sleeping in the upstairs bedroom much more bearable. Only other minor negative was the exceptionally steep slope of the driveway - my brother was not able to get his car up to the property as it would damage his car. It’s only a short walk from the visitor car park though, so unless you are less mobile it’s not a big issue.
The pool and spa were a stunning escape, gorgeous vistas over valley below! And the beautiful beaches of Port Stephens only a quick drive away.
Overall a lovely family holiday, we are grateful for the helpfulness of our hosts and for the relaxing stay!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay, the pool and spa and views and the beautiful beaches all around Port Stephens. It was exceptionally warm weather for your stay and I am glad the fans made a difference.
An excellent location atop the hill allows for sweeping views, and a short walk to the beach. House was exactly as shown in photos, and came fully equipped with all the modern appliances to allow a family to live in comfort. Was an excellent stay and would definitely recommend it to friends.
