Great location but needs better maintenance and cleaning
Nice apartment but we had three problems. The first was access. There is no indication on the website that it is anything other than a level easy access. In fact there is a long, steep set of stairs to negotiate every time one needs to go to or from the apartment. No problem at all for healthy young people but not so good for my 90 year old mum who was basically confined to the unit and the little patch of grass outside. Second problem was hopeless cleaning before our arrival. The dining table was sticky all over and there was a big sticky blob of goo embedded in the carpet next to the second bed. Third problem is the stink (disgusting stench) emanating from the floor drain in the laundry. Apart from these things it was very nice!

Cockroach-infested nightmare
I recently had the misfortune of staying at what can only be described as a vermin-infested nightmare of a holiday rental property. Our weekend getaway turned into a cockroach haven that still sends shivers down my spine. To begin with, the apartment seemed to have a fascination with German cockroaches. These vile creatures practically took over the place. 
The floors were littered with the remains of at least 10 dead cockroaches – a macabre display of the property's inability to maintain even a semblance of cleanliness. As if this wasn't enough, the live cockroaches were infiltrating every nook and cranny imaginable – from kitchen cabinets to beds, furniture, and even the kitchen slab. The outdoor furniture and patio were adorned with dead leaves and dirt. The windows and door glasses appeared to have not seen a cleaning cloth since ages and were full of stains and grime. The cherry on top of this disaster was the property agents' spectacular display of unprofessionalism. Initially, they seemed to recognise the gravity of the situation and offered a fair compensation for the trauma we endured. However, true to form, they backtracked on their promises faster than a cockroach scuttling into a crevice. To add insult to injury, they've now chosen to ignore my phone calls, leaving me feeling like a frustrated and powerless pest in their own game. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this property as possible.

Sunrise snapshots
For someone who is never up before 8, we were up at 6 every morning to watch the sunrise over the water. Friendly walkers along the beach, dolphins swimming past and a tame kookaburra joining us for breakfast. All the amenities we needed. Only a suggestion would be to use a key safe rather than pick up/drop off in Nelson Bay. Not far but not on the way when arriving or leaving.

Beautiful view
Great view comfortable beds lovely and clean . Negatives cleaners still on site when arriving at 2.15pm had to wait 30 min to gain access . Last day enjoying a beautiful morning only to have a lawn person arrive at 7.50 and didn’t leave till after 8.45 .Might not of been such an issue but we were on the ground level and the whipper snipper was throwing up grass clumps .He didn’t even check if anyone was there .This work should be done after 10am .So might as well of checked out earlier and save money as one couldn’t enjoy the quietness of the morning before having to leave at 9.45

Lovely beachfront unit
We had a group of 4 adults and 3 kids and this place was absolutely perfect for our stay. Beautiful location, right on the beach but with a grassy area outside for the kids, watching the sunrise each morning - we didn't want to leave! Well-sized kitchen and comfortable beds. The only downside was that the keys weren't located on-site, so it required a 15 minute drive into Nelson Bay to collect keys on check-in and then another drive to drop off on check-out. A lockbox on site would have made the process much more convenient. All in all though, would happily stay at this property again.

Great position for a family holiday
We really enjoyed our time at this property. The location is fantastic. Being able to walk directly onto the sand and within close proximity to local shop and also Bannisters’s was a bonus. Beds were comfortable. My only complaint was the level of cleanliness wasnt great and the apartment had an awful food/cooking smell from previous guests when we arrived which unfortunately lingered for the duration of our 4 day trip. These things are easy to fix though so don’t let this stop you from booking this property.
