Great location and great house with everything you need!
One of the best places we’ve stayed at in Anna Bay, overall quite clean and facilities well maintained. A couple of issues like sheets not the cleanest and dryer not working but LJ hooker was prompt to reply and find an immediate solution if we needed it. Would stay here again!

Thankyou for taking the time to review your stay. We are glad you enjoyed the beautiful views the property has to offer. We hope to welcome you back soon.
We were all blown away with the cleanliness of the property. The location is absolutely stunning and so convenient to walk to the rocky beach, which is almost private to the properties on the strip. The house had all the little bits and pieces needed, including dishwashing tablets, washing detergent, salt and pepper, etc. this is truly an outstanding holiday rental which left us feeling so relaxed! Would definitely stay again :)

Lovely location with comfortable facilities. Our only problem was that we were disturbed by others in unit 1 who partied till early hours yelling, screaming and swearing even with kids present. They did not seem to care about disturbing us so we will be booking stand-alone accommodation in the future.

We are so pleased to hear you loved the location and the facilities of this waterfront property for your family get together. It is disheartening that there was disturbance during your stay from the guests next door and is not a typical issue for this property.
We hope to welcome you back to a more positive experience in the future.
The property is well appointed and has plenty of space and great views. The location is in walking distance from Birubi Beach, the sand dunes and the Birubi beach SLSC and Crest Cafe. It is also a quick 10 min drive from Nelsons Bay and 1 min drive from Anna Bay and a small shopping complex. It is self contained and has everything you need. Whilst the bed wasn't the most comfortable bed in the world it was adequate for 5 nights. You are really staying here for the views and location. Furnishings are basic but adequate. It was surface clean but some areas need a good spring clean. Our only negatives would be the listing included a BBQ and there was no BBQ, which was a shame. The Wifi was also non-existent . We had raised this with the agent during our stay.

Wonderful property and well maintained. Some disappointments relating to property management.
A lovely layout and magnificent views. Beautiful property. We had poor weather but it was so nice that we didn't mind staying indoors. We were disappointed not to have been advised of a planned power outage most of Saturday. The workman stated that the outage had been scheduled some weeks ago. Also disappoinging not to have a microwave for most of the week.
It would have been 5 stars, only if they had clean the glass doors/windows / insect screens..
Then main attraction is the ocean view however it get blurred/obstructed by the dusk and dirt.
One the positive note, thanks for the binoculars, it proven tobe very entertaining.
