We were sailing for the week so this was very handy to Nelson Bay, within 15 minutes walking to everything. The house was well fitted out and suited our requirements perfectly.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! The home is in a fabulous location with magnificent views, and it's just a short walk to the beach and nearby walking tracks. The layout is perfect for larger families or groups, with two spacious areas that provide ample room for everyone to spread out.
For those with young children, the separate spaces were ideal for creating quiet zones for sleeping or relaxing while others enjoyed TV or activities. The home was clean, well-maintained, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this property and can't wait to return!
