Hi Hussein (Sam) Firstly, we sincerely apologise for the presentation of the beds on arrival. The home was professionally cleaned on the 23rd, however the linen was not placed on the beds. This was an oversight, and we completely understand how disappointing that would have been to walk into. We genuinely wish we had been notified at the time. Had we received a call or message on your arrival, we would have immediately arranged for our team to attend and make the beds properly without delay. We always prioritise rectifying issues as soon as they are brought to our attention. Josh called you once the oversight was discovered, when you called the next day, but you had already sorted linen for yourselves, believing none had been supplied as part of the booking. We offered to refund for this but no receipt was forthcoming. To clarify, the maintenance contractor who attended during your stay was there to check pool chemicals and mow the lawns. He did not enter the home at any stage, only accessed the external gate. We have asked him to check with us prior to going to the property in future. Again, we apologise for the inconvenience and embarrassment this may have caused. This is not the standard we aimed for and we did offer extending your stay or staying for another weekend but this was declined.

Why they chose this property

Located off the M1 motorway, a relaxing 1-hour drive from Sydney and halfway between the Hunter Valley Winelands and the pristine beaches of Catherine Hill Bay and Caves Beach, Brightwaters is a charming peninsula suburb near Morisset in NSW. The suburb is ideally positioned, with historic Catherine Hill Bay and its beautiful beach just 32 kilometres away. This proximity to both the city and the coast makes Brightwaters an ideal base for exploring the wonders of Lake Macquarie and the Central Coast. The suburb is home to lake swimming baths, providing a safe and enjoyable place to cool off on warm days. Several council parks are also scattered throughout the area, inviting visitors to relax and soak up the natural beauty of the surroundings. For those seeking outdoor adventure, the Bay Vista Road walking track is a popular choice. This scenic trail connects Fishery Point and Brightwaters, offering stunning views and a pleasant route to explore. It also serves as a convenient link to Bonnells Bay and Morisset. Brightwaters is blessed with a picturesque bay that draws locals and tourists alike. The calm waters of the bay are perfect for various water activities, including swimming, kayaking, fishing, and boating. Families and beginners will appreciate the gentle nature of the bay, making it an ideal spot for water sports or simply enjoying a refreshing swim. Fishing enthusiasts can try their luck with the diverse range of freshwater fish species that call Lake Macquarie home. Beyond Brightwaters, Lake Macquarie itself offers a plethora of attractions and activities. Visitors can embrace their adventurous side at places like the Warners Bay ice skating rink, the Tree Tops Adventure Park in Minmi, or by renting a boat and experiencing the thrill of a Jet Buzz ride in Cams Wharf.
