Beautiful location, easy access to the beach and Nelson Bay is a quick drive away if you need to eat out. The beach was wonderful for young kids and never crowded during our stay. The hous itself is immacculate and well maintained and havig readily available internet and air conditioning meant we were able to relax after a hot day of sswimming. Would definitely stay here again and Glenyss was a pleasure to deal with, very prompt and informative with her communication.

Thanks so much for your lovely review. I’m glad you loved the location and easy beach access, and that Nelson Bay was close by when you felt like eating out. Great to hear the beach was perfect for the kids and nice and quiet, and that the air con and reliable internet helped you unwind after big swim days. You’re very welcome back anytime, I’d love to host you again.

The apartment has lovely views over the beach, headland and sea beyond. It is a quiet friendly neighbourhood with life evolving around the beach. Pleasant walks directly from the apartment. Plenty to do nearby. The spacious living room, 3 bedrooms with Queen beds plus 2 bathrooms was ideal for 3 of us living in comfort. We were delighted we chose to book here and it was available. It was equipped with everything we needed. Very helpful having herbs and spices, oil, condiments for anyone cooking.

Beautiful location - good accommodation

This beautifully located apartment in Boat Harbour gave us fantastic access to local beaches. Sitting on the balcony watching the changing view over the water was a highlight. The property was in good condition and comfortable for three adults and three children. The property manager was communicative and helpful during an extended (area-wide) power outage.

Fabulous time in Boat Harbour

What's not to love about this place? Lovely apartment, a modern kitchen, a balcony with BBQ, a spacious living room, separate laundry, a double garage - and most importantly: an uninterrupted beach view. The whole family loved this apartment and its proximity to the beach. What a great location.

Well appointed, delightful apartment. Well cared for comfortable and practical. Boat Harbour is a little gem revealing an unexpectedly rugged coastline to walk and sunsets over headland. Will recommend.

Even better than expected

We stayed at this lovely apartment on a wintery weekend. It is in a magical location away from shops and cafes, that are within easy driving distance. Whale watching was happening on the headland just across the beach. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed and we enjoyed looking at the dreamy view of the bay from the living area or while sipping coffees on the balcony. Communication with our host and access was made very easy, including a wide garage to house the car that you could drive straight into, only a few steps away from the apartment. The apartment does not have the usual rental “holiday house” vibe - more the quality that you would want to have in your own house. The pictures don’t n’t do it justice!

Lovely view but....

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is in a great location with a gorgeous beach just across the road. Unfortunately, the windows facing the beach were very dirty and obscured the view. Although, the inside of the unit was fine it appeared that the balcony hadn't been cleaned in a long time including the outdoor furniture. Overall it was a lovely stay but could've been better.
