The property has everything and more needed for a great stay for the whole family including our dog. Would highly recommend and we will be making this property a regular getaway
Lovely stay at this property - comfortable beds, air conditioning worked really well, convenient location to beaches and cafes, dog friendly so my two dogs loved it also - would definitely recommend staying here
Great pet friendly house, in a short walking distance to beaches on the bay. My doggies loved being able to be inside the house with me, just like they do at home.The house was clean and comfortable, with everything you need provided by the host. This was my 2nd stay, and I'll definitively be back.

About the host
Hosted by Annie Nham
I am Canadian and have been living in Sydney with my Aussie husband since 2015 after spending 7 years living in London. My husband fondly remembers holidaying in Nelson Bay growing up and we love the area, so decided to purchase a holiday home here. We wanted somewhere we could take our young kids to swim at the beach, go on nature walks, visit animal parks nearby and build memories of our own. When we can, we happily take advantage of working from home here in a relaxed, scenic environment.
Why they chose this property
We loved this house because it is so close to two amazing but different beaches, with the added benefits of a house rather than an apartment. Great for babies, kids and pets. Solidly built and functional with a nice sunny outdoor area.
What makes this property unique
Fully gated out door area perfect for toddlers and pets No stairs and elderly/disabled friendly Air-conditioned living area Two well sized bedrooms with two bathrooms (one is an ensute) Enough space for two cars on the property
