Shoal Bay Beach Retreat

Loved the location and the layout. Very comfortable.

There were 3 cockroaches found inside. Otherwise, nothing much.

Great location, layout, plenty of space, lovely outdoor area. Terrific set-up for 3 adult couples + a couple of kids.

Usual punitive threats around ensuring rubbish is taken out, dishwasher cleared, etc. (have no problem with this and agree entirely that a place should be left clean and tidy). However, there was no dishcloth, no tea towel, only 2 dishwasher satchels for 3 nights, external bin full to brim + the place could use a good clean. Most disappointing was just 1 spare toilet roll to cover 2 bathrooms, 7 people for 3 nights - pretty lousy really (needless to say there was a mercy dash to the supermarket to stock up on toilet paper!)

Great location, spacious for 5 adults and two kids. Comfy beds and very quiet. Nice beachy feel to the furnishings.

Firstly the oven didn’t work, a (prompt) visit by the booking office handyman got it going but not properly. The dishwasher had dead cockroaches in the bottom of it. The filter in the range hood looked like hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time. The hot plate on the BBQ was clean but when we went to use it we found that the drip tray was overflowing with fat and fungus and the cabinet had many cockroaches running around inside. Consequently we didn’t use the BBQ. The air conditioner was very new however was not big enough to cool the open plan living space. Soft furnishings and lounge coverings needed cleaning.

Lovely location and house

Wifi didn’t exist aircon did not work

Property inside had a lot of spiders in the room in the living room and our 4 yr old had been bitten by one . The fridge was not functional as it had issues closing there’s signs up to close the door properly but the fridge needs to be replaced. On a hot weekend the fridge n freezer couldn’t do its job properly.

Good close to beach

Great location

Great location. Close to beach and shops

No soap or body wash provided. No smart TV

Location was perfect for what we wanted

The main bed was super comfy outdoor area was amazing and the pathway to the beach was a added bonus

Location was great, close to both Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. The layout of the property is great with a large kitchen, dining and outdoor area. Beds and lounges were comfortable also.

The appliances are a bit out dated or not working. BBQ was not clean and the dishwasher did not work. Also there is a public pathway at the back of the property that is not fenced off but the sliding doors did have barrier doors, i am assuming because of the lack of a fence.
