Perfect Holiday House

The Shoalbar is a perfectly located and perfect sized holiday house with a small yard that our dog could also enjoy time outside. Just a short walk to 2 x beaches and also walking distance to the shops, etc, at Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. The house itself was beautifully presented with modern décor, and really well maintained, with many handy pantry items also provided. THANK YOU - We will definitely be coming back

Easter Getaway

We loved our stay at Shoal Bay, and so did our Labrador. The unit was in a great location. We could ride our bikes easily around the area. Walking into Shoal Bay was also an easy stroll. The property had everything we needed and more. The garage was a perfect spot to store our push bikes, and for the dog to sleep. Loved everting about it.

Great location! Comfortable!

The holiday house, bedding and towels were all clean. Annie had lots of little touches everywhere to make the stay more comfortable. There was tea, coffee, cooking oil, salt, board games, torch etc. There was enough cutlery, crockery and cookware for us to use. Annie communicated with me regularly and was easy to deal with. Highly recommend this holiday home! I will definitely be staying again. 😁

Generous living space. Well sized bedrooms and bathrooms, with good storage. Property well appointed and scrupulously clean. Easy walk to beaches...

Mum's 80th

We had a lovely stay at this property and were able to bring our fur babies - Mum's aging Tenterfield terrier and my Chihuahua. The weather wasn't good but we were able to snuggle comfy on the lounge and watch some 'girlie' movies. The attention to detail was very apparent with comprehensive pantry items; beach equipment; shower products; ducted air-con and wifi. I was able to make a beautiful roast lamb meal the first night and a continental breakfast the following morning. The host kept in communications with me and I felt we were looked after.
