Highly recommend- ticks all the boxes

Thoroughly recommend this property. Added bonus was that it was pet friendly. Conveniently located to nearby Bagnalls beach which is also dog friendly. Level property with double driveway which was perfect to store our boat. Very well furnished and equiped house including wifi/Netflix and loved that they had two push bikes available to use. Can’t wait to return.

Fabulous family stay

A beautifully decorated spacious home, that we all loved. Everything we needed was provided - far more than you often see in holiday bookings, (and an excellent optional linen service). The location was excellent - 5 mins walk to a dog friendly beach, a tropical inspired back yard to relax in and a short drive to the shops. We were aware there was only one air conditioned room (a lounge) with ceiling fans in the other rooms, but were a little unprepared for the impact of an incredibly humid week. That’s the only drawback for a middle of summer stay. Fantastic communication from the agents, we’re returning home feeling relaxed and highly recommend the property and service.

Hi Angela, We are glad to hear you had a fabulous family stay at Celeste and agree it is a beautifully decorated and spacious home. Hopefully your fur baby enjoyed the walks to Bagnalls Beach. This property is very popular due to the location being so close to this dog friendly beach as well as local shops and restaurants. The dates you stayed over January were some of the hottest days in Summer and it has been an extremely humid Summer this year.

Just a short picturesque stroll to beach/dog beach and kids playground.

Well equipped spacious property. It’s a shame bedlinen/towels were not provided for guests as part of the package. Hired sheets and pillowslips did not really fit some of the bedding configurations. No fitted sheets supplied. Pillowcases very small for large pillows. Back Garden well fenced for pets. Not too toddler/young child friendly with mainly spiky plants, aloe and cacti featured in garden. No high chair provided. Apart from the above points enjoyed our stay in Corlette Port Stephens and would recommend this holiday home for a relaxing stay.

Hi Carolyn, Thank you for your review on your stay at Celeste. You will be glad to know that sheets with bed making and towels are now provided at this beautiful holiday home. Hopefully you can return for another stay to enjoy this added bonus. Please note that not all holiday properties provide high chairs, this is up to individual owners to decide whether they would like to supply this for their guests. It is best to check before arrival, whether the property you have chosen supplies one. Warm regards, McGrath Port Stephens

Bonito Bagnall Beach

We arrived on a extremely hot day to find only one air conditioner in the rumpus room and ceiling fans in the other rooms. We were disappointed to see the ducted air conditioner was disarmed especially when the listing states it has air conditioning. We rang the property manager and were told if you clicked on the drop down box next to air conditioning it states it is for only one room. Unfortunately we found the communication with the property manager poor and many things were incorrect. The accommodation spacious and clean with a dog friendly yard. It is a great location only 3 min walk to Bagnall Beach which is a off leash dog friendly beach . Our dog loved it.

Hi Lynne, Glad to hear you and your fur baby enjoyed the spacious house at 26 Bonito and close proximity to the dog friendly Bagnalls Beach. Please note this property is not advertised as having ducted air conditioning or air conditioning throughout every room in the house. The property description states: Two spacious attractively furnished living areas offer opportunity to watch TV on the large flat screen TV, the property also provides Netflix, DVD player, BluRay and air conditioning in the living area, this is a fantastic room if you want to get away from the family action for a quiet read, making it a great multi-generational holiday house.

What a fabulous holiday rental. Clean and so well equipped with everything we needed for children and the dogs. Perfect location to beach and walking/cycle paths. We have been holidaying in Nelson Bay for over 10 years with pets and this is by far the best house we have stayed at during that time. We hope to be back next year.
