Gorgeous views and lovely unit

We loved staying here over Easter. It was so relaxing looking over the bay or simply walking out to the beach. A short 10 minute walk along the beach or the parallel bush track takes you to to the Shoal Bay shops and cafes. And 15 minutes walking the other direction takes you to Nelson Bay. The unit is thoughtfully and very comfortably furnished with everything you need in the kitchen, including pantry items. Janet is a friendly and proactive host who responded quickly to email and text. We would love to stay here again soon!

Perfect

We had a wonderful time staying in Janet’s apartment. It was in the perfect location with a view of the water and a short walk to 2 beaches. Everything else was a short drive away. The apartment was very clean with everything we needed for our stay. The only downside was having to make our beds on arrival - not ideal when arriving at 9pm.

Great location. Fantastic View. Top Host.

Really enjoyed our stay here for 6 nights and could have stayed another week. Location was perfect, with a 30 second walk through the reserve to get to Shoal Bay Beach and a 4 minute walk to the left of the apartment to get to Little Beach. The apartment was well equipped with good kitchen, washing machine, dryer iron and table, cleaning products, vacuum cleaner, to mention a few. Very clean, and plenty of supplies to get us through the stay. The view was amazing and listening to the waves lap against the shore at night was a perfect end to the day. For a beach side get away, it was perfect. The oversized garage with additional external parking meant that we could store all our fishing gear, bikes, boogie boards and anything else that we could not have taken with us to any of the overpriced hotels. Would love to stay again.

You do not need to be an Intrepid adventurer to stay here. Great for those who just wish to relax.

This is a tastefully decorated and recently refurbished Apartment with quality fittings throughout. Clean and airy with a view across the bay to Yacaba and birdlife in the adjacent trees. The WiFi is a great benefit during holiday season as the mobile network throughout the Port Stephens area struggles to keep up. A massive plus for us was that we could arrange to trickle charge our EV and ebikes in the apartments own garage. This is a rare option for apartments in this area. If this is something of potential benefit to you please contact the owner for guidance. Within a short walk to the western end of Shoal Bay beach but also within walking distance of Little Beach and if you are an intrepid adventurer you could climb the hill to the Inner Lighthouse Tea Rooms. 😀😀 Only our first stay in this Apartment but if we return to the area it will be at the very top of our list.
