Great house with plenty of space for the whole family. Great views from upstairs. Only thing we didn’t like was how hard the beds were. Could use some mattress toppers but other than that the place was awesome.
8.0 / 10.0
The property is fairly new and has a lovley view, being high up in the top of a hill.
Location is good with short drives to most attractions and shops in and around Port Stephens.
It was sufficient bedding for all of us (10 adults). Rooms downstairs are rather small and no air condition, only fans, but the cord was too short to use with the only power point behind the bed in the room with 2 single beds, an extension cord would have been helpful.
There were no tea pot or strainer for tea, but otherwise a well equiped kitchen for a large group.
Recomend for a large family or a small group of friends.
8.0 / 10.0
Very pleased with the property. It handled 11 people easily. Cooking for 11 people had its challengers as the oven is quiet small for a 6 bedroom house esp as there is AC throughout and home theatre etc. Also needs to have hand soap and garbage bin liners for next time please. We had to go out and buy dishwashing machine tablets as there was only ONE provided.

Lovely spacious house with great views from the top floor. Only a short drive to One Mile Beach and Fisherman’s Bay.

More detailed clean of property would be beneficial. Some of the shower drains were full of hair and blocking. Some of the plates put away in the cupboard were still dirty.
Council bins were on the street but not emptied.
Suggest a lock box at the property as it was not the most convenient to go in and out of Nelson Bay to pick and return key.

Great Accommodation for a big group
The house was large, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. The accommodation was perfect for us (5 couples). We were disappointed that our entry into the house was delayed by two hours as the cleaning was still in progress. The air-conditioning upstairs was not working which made the upstairs very hot and uncomfortable during the day. Admittedly, the agent sent the A/C Technician promptly. However the entire unit needed to be replaced so we made do with the pedestal fans on the premises.
I would also suggest that remote access via a key box/PIN code to access the property would be more convenient for guests, rather than having to pick up the keys from the real estate agent's office.
I would still highly recommend this house, as the issues I have mentioned can be easily rectified. It is a lovely house!

Boat Harbour
House looked great from the outside and view from upstairs was wonderful but house needs a really good clean and general maintainence is required. All 3 Televisions were not working, we notified the office on Thursday not long after we arrived and were told someone was coming to fix the problem. Never arrived! We were told on Saturday morning a "trade" was coming between 8am and 9am , we waited, no call and no one arrived. Several phone calls later, still no resolution! Blocked drains, not enough knives for 12 people. Very uncomfortable beds. Loose fittings on bathroom taps. Generally the house needs a bit of TLC
