Pet friendly waterfront accomodation

THE Location
Although this property is privately positioned, it is still only 1km to village shops, newsagent, bottle shop, butcher, bakery, restaurants and cafe. There are 2 public parks located at opposite ends of the beach which offer picnic tables and BBQ facilities. When launching your boat, there is a 2 lane, all tide boat ramp at the rear of Salamander Shores Hotel or a 4 lane, all tide boat ramp at Soldiers Point (approx 4km away). Whilst on holidays there is so much to do including: parasailing, kayaking, fishing, quad bike riding, camel rides, horse trail rides, scenic helicopter rides, scuba diving and of course whale and dolphin watching which has made Port Stephens a well-known destination for tourists. Try the fresh local produce or dine in one on the many award-winning restaurants. Nelson Bay is approx 6km away and the Salamander Shopping Centre is approx 3km away.

THE House
Ideally designed to accommodate 2 families comfortably, this modern 3-bedroom, absolute beachfront home has everything you will need for an enjoyable Port Stephens getaway. Entering on the ground level, there are 2 living areas providing comfortable lounges, flat screen TV with surround sound, Foxtel and Netflix, a VCR player, DVD player, fireplace for the cooler months, air-conditioning and Wifi. This area flows out to a beachfront paved entertaining area with outdoor setting and a grassed area for the kids to play, with direct access to the beach which offers calm waters for safe swimming. There is also a second grassed fully fenced area for your pet. Guests have access to a fully equipped laundry with top loading washing machine and dryer plus a bathroom and internal access to the single lock-up garage. There is also a carport and off-street parking with plenty of room for a boat (however, there is a narrow road leading into the property, so please be careful when parking).

Continuing upstairs is a combined, air-conditioned lounge and dining room, with 2 x 2-seater red leather lounges, a flat screen TV with Foxtel and Netflix, a DVD player, CD player and a large timber dining suite. The modern kitchen comes fully equipped with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, stove, oven and microwave. All 3 bedrooms are located on the upstairs level and offer a king bed, a queen bed and a tri-bunk bed. There is a large bath and shower plus vanity in the bathroom and a separate toilet. A fabulous covered full length deck offers amazing water views, an outdoor setting, sun chairs and an electric BBQ.

With your own private oasis by the water, you can simply kick back and relax with a nice glass of wine, a good book or enjoy a BBQ on the deck with friends.

Please note that pets are only permitted outside.
All pets must be on a lead at all times, as there are koala's in the area.

Linen packs and bedmakes are provided at this property.

Great location and view - missed opportunity
The location and view of the house is magical - however the house is not looked after - was dirty, dusty, oven looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in forever and was unusable - cutleries were greasy - appart from linen and towels provided- no amenities .. the hose smelled like my grand parents places almost as if no one had been around for a while .. gutter were full so when we had so rain water was gushing everywhere. Beds were comfortables. House was advertised with a garage however was not accessible due to kayaks on the floor. Re property management had organised prior for a high chair and wasn’t there when we arrived. Was sorted in the end but when you have to pay an extra the least would be to provide the service - excuse provided was cleaner didn’t have the keys. But then maybe that explains why the house was that dirty maybe they simply never went to clean it ! Had a 14 months old (stated on the booking) so no very nice to have to dust etc since toddlers crawl everywhere ! The house could be great if simply looked after ..

Seaside sanctuary
The house was perfectly positioned, the beach is outside the back door. Fabulous balcony for those family members who just wanted to relax, chat and look at the sea while enjoying a glass of wine or do some watercolour painting. We enjoyed the bird life of kookaburra’s, lorikeets, magpies and black swans. We saw dolphins frolicking just off shore. There are canoes and floaty rings to enjoy and the water was lovely and clear. Good snorkelling nearby. Only 10 mins drive to Nelson bay for shopping. We will definitely book again.

The property was as described, beautiful outlook over the water but privacy was an issue with people walking across the backyard. We were also surprised that we were required to make up the beds. Previous properties have provided this service as well as a community pantry with basic supplies eg tea, coffee, sugar, tinned goods etc. what you use you replace. Maybe this is something that the owners could consider, because when you arrive, all you want to do is unpack and relax.

Great location but could do with a refresh
The property was in a lovely quiet location and it was terrific to wake to the sounds of the water lapping on the shore. The beds were comfortable and the house had all you could need in terms of furniture. The property though was quite outdated and could do with a refresh and a few additions to the kitchen like a coffee pod machine.

Beach stay
We had a great time, location was amazing right on the beach. Windows were dirty and could have been cleaned considering the price we paid.
