GUEST REVIEW:
We Absolutely LOVED this place!!! Stayed at Anna Bay for a girls' weekend away from Sydney. It is as clean, fresh & spacious as in the pictures. The pool is really amazing - it has a 180 degree view of the valley & trees below & the two beaches to either side. There is a nice warm spa with the same view. It is amazing floating there at night, with all the lights off except the cool blue glow of the pool lights & the sparkling stars - very tranquil. There is a nice deck for sunbathing that has sunshine all day long, and for couples there is actually a private spa tub on the private apartment deck (we didn't use this but it is outside & looks cosy!). Otherwise, the bedrooms & living area were clean & spacious, kitchen has all the necessary appliances. We didn't even eat out once - it was too easy to cook whilst having the most amazing view outside through the glass panelled doors. There is one parking spot but it is easy to fit 2 cars there, although it's a tight curve into the driveway (there is more on-street parking, easy to get to). The surrounding areas are incredible - we went 4WD driving on the 4WD track just out of Anna bay - amazing at sunset! The beach is close by - good for surfing, swimming, kite surfing etc. There is also some great rock-climbing at Anna Bay too. Or just kick back & enjoy a BBQ with a view on the private deck. Really, this was an amazing place to stay - not just because it's a beautiful part of the world but the apartment itself is luxurious without being over the top & if you don't even leave the house you will have an amazing time. Gae & Kim were very accessible, understanding & helpful - we went at the time of the awful bushfires & they were great in giving advice on how to get there to avoid any dangers etc etc. The drive was only 2.5 hours from the centre of Sydney, so not bad at all. We will definitely be back now that we have discovered this amazing little secret paradise!!! Couldn't get enough - can't wait to do it again soon. Thanks for a great weekend!!! Kashea,

Impressive property with great amenities, clean bedrooms, lovely views, and helpful host. Close to beaches and shops. Would stay again.
10.0 / 10.0
We were so impressed with this property! Our host Kim was easy to communicate with, providing great info for checkin and checkout, along with having a big folder at the property full of local informative places to go, eat, drink etc. The place was very clean, very near to the infinity pool and spa, but far enough away not to be bothered by noise. Bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely and spacious & the kitchen really well equipped. Very close to multiple beaches and 5 mins to Anna Bay shops, cafes etc. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property with beach view. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Short drive to shops and activities. Kim was friendly and helpful. I would've given 5 stars if that amazing pool was available for use. Kim let us know the day before check in that it's under construction and the work had been dragging on due to poor weather. If we knew this at the time of booking or during the cancellation period, we might have considered other options. The spa was also non functional. Nonetheless we had a lovely stay and would recommend this property to others

Terrific views
Kim's place is in a lovely boutique complex at the top of a hill with commanding views. The apartment itself is in good nick. A few minor quibbles -- no garbage bags, satellite TV was too pixellated to watch, private jacuzzi was out of order, gas stoves didn't work the first night -- but I don't expect perfection at a glammy rental hub where short-term tenants come and go. You're paying for the balcony, the view, and the shared pool. We had fun!

It was a beautiful location with spectacular views, clean and tidy 3 bedrooms, everything for your cooking needs, pool and spa just outside the front door, located within minutes of things to do, would recommend this place to others.A few things that would have made the property even better would have been refreshing the complimentary amenities such as tea, coffee, toilet paper and dish cloths, we did not contact the owner as it didn’t disrupt our stay but would have been nice.Beautiful deck to unwind, however very little appropriate shelter from rain or sun. A sun bed would be perfect out there, its a shame the deck spa was out of use as that would have been lovely to use. Kim messaged daily to ensure we had a great time. This was a lovely weekend getaway to unwind.

Beautiful Complex in Boat Harbour
Had an awesome stay in Boat Harbour - the views of this apartment are spectacular & the facilities were great (particularly loved having access to a hot tub). In terms of the apartment itself, it was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cater at mealtimes. Kim was a responsive host who checked in to make sure everything was ok. Would love to come back - thanks.

Great Location!! Needs work
Pretty disappointing. The photos on Stayz
are nothing like what we booked.. Spa did not work, rusty kettle, mould in fridge, no locks in toilets and bathroom, only one set of keys. The property needs a thorough clean internal and external. We spent half an hour cleaning BBQ and there was no gas.. The only positive is the views. Very overrated to what we paid..

Very Dusty feel terrible
The view was good and as well as the pool and the spa
But the bathroom was very unhygienic and dusty
there was no shampoo, no conditioner, no towel and half of a toilet roll paper
i paid $700 each night, for three nights which came to a total of $2,100...wow, this is ridiculous!!!!!!
i used the website, stayz a lot for accomodations and i've never seen anything like this before!!!!!
even the bedrooms including the pillows and blankets were extremely dusty, my wife received dust allergy from the dust.
Haha, it really looks like the cleaner has been doing their job or do you guys even have cleaners?
even if we didn't have such a great time there at least for the next customers do a better job.
Thank You...

A sensational stay!
Escape to utopia! Spectacular uninterrupted views - beaches, bays and mountains all in one sweep! Be mesmerised from the deck, the private al fresco spa, the living room or whilst sipping coffee from bed in the morning! Everything you need is here, including BBQ on the dec, but if you do choose to leave the secluded, extremely well-appointed apartment, a 5 minute walk will have you on the beach. Don't worry about the walk back as the pool and spa awaits you before making the final 6 steps, back to the views! The beachside cafe is great after a long morning walk along the beach or around the headland and rock pools, as well for a coffee on the beach after a surf. A bit further afield and you can be sand-boarding amongst the spectacular sahara like dunes, golfing, hiking or doing a range of other activities but seriously, you want want to go far - this apartment is relaxation heaven!

Fantastic Getaway.......
I spent a week end at One Mile Escape with my four children. The apartment was in a fantastic location with views of the beach and the hinterland - which made the it very easy to sit around and chill out and enjoy the view. The pool was a real attraction for the kids. The rooms were well presented and clean. The apartment was a short drive (or ride) to Nelsons Bay but sufficiently out of the way to allow serenity.

We had a fabulous time at One Mile Escape - if only we lived closer we would rent this property more regularly. It is most unusual that photos do not do justice to the actual property, but this is the case here - the property finish is very high, the kitchen has everything the exacting chef will need, the comfort and detail is excellent and the views and sunsets to die for. What an amazing vista! We were spellbound. The infinity pool, although intended to be shared, was ours alone and you could not wish for more. We loved it. We can't wait to return...... Jeannie
