Thank you for the great review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Tomaree Cottage and hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards - McGrath Port Stephens
We enjoyed our week escape from Sydney along with our fur babies, easy walking distance to everything you need during your stay, if there was one thing I’d changed it’s having curtains in the bedroom, no everyone wants to wake up early when it’s very bright!

Hi Russell, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback for Tomaree Cottage! It is a fantastic holiday home.
I will pass on your feedback regarding the curtains in the bedrooms to the owners.
Thank you, McGrath Port Stephens
House was clean and well equipped for both humans and fur kids, Easy walk to beach and shops. Living area would benefit from either a ceiling or pedestal fan. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Lovely, clean, well equiped house with secure garden for our little dogs. Great location and very short walk to the beach, cafes and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed finishing our days with a relaxing BBQ in the garden.
We will definitely be back.

Hi Tracey, thank you so much for the lovely feedback for Tomaree Cottage. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Kind regards - McGrath Port Stephens
The property is conveniently only a short stroll to Shoal Bay Wharf and Beach so I was able to take the kids fishing and swimming easily. The proximity to Shoal Bay Country Club and the local bottle shop was too good. It meant I didnt need to drive much.

Thank you for the lovely feedback Ramsay. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Tomaree Cottage and we look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards, McGrath Port Stephens
The house was as described, very close to the beach and shops, clean and comfortable, off-street parking, closed yard for the dog, air conditioning for those hot days, comfortable bed. The second room was a little small for two teens - but worked, as they spent most of their time at beautiful Shoal Bay beach. Tidy yard. Very peaceful setting. Highly recommend for an easy and relaxing get away.

Thanks for the lovely review Lauren. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Tomaree Cottage and look forward to seeing you again soon. Kind regards - McGrath Port Stephens
We holiday frequently in the area, but wanted a yard for my young young to run rather than being at the top of an apartment. Still super close to beach, shops and Country Club. Kids would ride their scooters down to the water. Was very quiet and private. Would book again, perfect for just 4 of us. Even though it was July the weather was amazing and we did swim and enjoy lots of beach time. Always beautiful sunsets. Would recc this time of year so much quieter and relaxing than the summer.
