Guest Reviews

• Toni (10/5): -
• Katie (9/5): Perfect! Thank you! - Incredible location and views, even with the scaffolding!
• Magne (9/5): Magical - Clean - specular views - close to shops and Cafes - Beach walk - Newcastle beach was just across the road - even with the scaffold up - it was still magical Nothing
• Scott (8/5): Overall great place, owner gave us great directions on everything great value - Everything was great, everything you need for a perfect getaway Unfortunately the bed was a little hard & uncomfortable for someone in their late 50’s
• Suri (10/5): -
• Christoph (7/5): Modernes Apartment in Top Lage. - Tolle, geräumige Wohnung, schönes Design. Top Lage direkt an der Strandpromenade. Praktischer Stellplatz in der Tiefgarage. Bequemes Bett (aber ein wenig eng zu zweit) Obwohl der Self-Check-In wirklich gut beschrieben war, ist es eine hakelige Angelegenheit: Man muss einen Schlüsselsafe mit Zahlenkombination *in* einem engen, dunklen Briefkasten öffnen, das braucht wirklich viel Geduld und Fingerspitzengefühl! Derzeit ist die Fassade des Hauses komplett eingerüstet, aber das wussten wir vorher (daher auch ein günstigerer Preis). Uns hat es nicht wirklich gestört, da am Wochenende nicht gearbeitet wurde. Das Bett war für zwei Personen recht eng (ich denke es war 160cm breit). Der Check-out um 10 Uhr war etwas früh für unseren Geschmack, wir mussten zum Frühstück nochmal einen extra Parkplatz auf der Strasse suchen.
• Richard (7/5): Had to cancel, did not know about the scaffolding. - We did not end up staying at this property. It is currently under construction and covered with scaffolding. We had to cancel on the day of our arrival after we saw the outside of the building. When I booked it mentioned that construction would be complete by Nov. 2025. It is March 2026 now and still going on. It looks like they have updated the listing somewhat. I appreciate that they did not give me too much trouble cancelling my booking. But I was left trying to find something at the last moment. I highly recommend Noah's on the Beach that is only a few hundred feet from this property. They could be more transparent on their listing. They did add a picture with the scaffolding, but it is on the 12th photo. Just take pictures of the way it is now and be honest. Take off the beautiful view pictures with the balcony and clear views. That is not what it is now. Some people might not care about the view, but you need to be honest.
• John (8/5): Comfortable and convenient. Would stay again. - Perfect location, handy to beach and restaurants. The view will be even better once the scaffolding is gone.
• Rachel (10/5): Proof that a few days at the beach can fix just about everything. ☀️ - Loved everything about it. The situation from the ocean is unbelievable. It was clean and well provided for. Nothing.
• Paul (9/5): -
• Richard (8/5): Enjoyable. - Lovely apartment with beautiful views. The sound of the skate park below, just annoying, the ocean sound is so peaceful when the skaters are not around.
• Cameron (10/5): - Locache I got a flat tire
• Richard (6/5): Great for a short stay minus the scaffolding. - The location and decor. The unfortunate scaffolding which is only communicated after booking.
• Megan (8/5): The host was wonderful to deal with and it was lovely and clean. - The location was fantastic and it was lovely and clean. The bed could have been bigger. The scaffolding that is currently inhabiting the view but this can’t be helped.
• robertson (10/5): -
• James (10/5): Excellent apartment. 10/10. - Everything. Nothing.
• Leanne (10/5): Convienience to the Max - Directions given by host for check in were easy to follow, no issues encountered. Loved the location, the facilities and the styling of the place, nothing was left out The fact that I had to leave - what an amazing apartment, will definitely be a returning visitor
• Lorraine (8/5): -
• Kristin (10/5): -
• Falkiner (8/5): - The location The scaffolding and shade cloth on the outside of the building. This blocks the wonderful view.
• Quinn (7/5): - Location exceptional. View could have been amazing. Scaffolding in front of the view. Workers starting at 7am and working in front of the condo till 5pm.
• Adam (9/5): great apartment perfect location - location was great walking distance to multiple cafes bars restaurants,ocean view were amazing , very clean parking space was secure but not great for full size suv ,
• Jodie (9/5): Perfect location, perfect apartment - Size, location and had everything we could need Scaffolding impacted the view, but the hosts made sure we were well aware of it prior to coming
• Shanice (10/5): Great room - Had a great stay here. Such a lovely room in a great location.
• Bovis (9/5): I would stay again. Pity ww could not book it from Friday to Tuesday. Oh well! - Location, layout, parking, kitchen was excellent. Scaffolding (but no one to blame) and I am sure the owners don’t like it either nor the costs they have to pay for the work done. The fan in the bedroom needs a good dusting. We didn’t use it but notificed it. (Not a complaint though)
• Neil (8/5): -
• Robyne (1/5): - We didn't end up staying here because when we arrived the buliding was covered in scaffolding and so there would have been no view from our room, we were not informed of the works in progress by the host and ended up staying at a different apartment next door.
• Warhina (9/5): -
• Kim (8/5): Loved it! - Clean and tidy, loved the location. It was lovely walking around Newcastle. The area has improved so Much over the last few years. Great beaches! We will definitely be back. The repairs to the exterior of the building were slightly inconvenient but that didn’t affect the the apartment we stayed in, just the view.
• Rosalyn (10/5): Loved it! - Well appointed, stylish, exceptional clean and a great location. It was perfect
• Jens (5/5): -
• Eseta (10/5): - Love the ocean view despite the scaffolding on building. NA
• Janice (9/5): -
• Yaqot (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (7/5): Good -
• Alan (8/5): We had an amazing few days lots of walking and eating at local cafes and restaurants. Visited Nobby's Beach and did - Perfect location walking distance to cafes and restaurants. The property was very clean and had everything you need. Comfortable bed and great bathroom.
• Daniel (5/5): Passable -
• Susan (10/5): Great spot, weather spoilt it for us, but apartment itself was great, comfortable and a haven in the wind/ rain stor - Stunning spot
• Kenneth (6/5): Location good . Would be good to visit again when construction work is completed - Location Scaffolding outside building and noise from workers early in the morning
• Leos (7/5): Just okay and fair enough. Luke are fast response and being fair. - There is a construction around and close the property balcony and the view are partially gone.
• Claudia (8/5): Very good -
• Malcolm (9/5): Very comfortable - Great views and location.
• Jill (8/5): the unit was great but the construction re-cladding for our 3 night stay had not been advised - compact unit with unlimited beach views, excellent location for walking & exploring Newcastle & Stockton. The Hunter Valley is not at all far with beautiful wineries & gardens. This unit is small but in the best position for coastal walks & also the Newcastle Anzac Memorial walk to Bar Beach, Dixon Park & Merewether. It is a well maintained unit & very comfortable for x2 persons. We were probably very lucky it was a Friday when we booked in …….as to us it seemed to be a “construction zone”. We were not informed of this which was disappointing paying for weekend rates & maybe even “Easter rates”. If we had been informed of this we probably would not have been as shocked with a relative coming up to see us & some areas at the entrance blocked off with construction hats, high-vis guys & many trucks. The units are being re-clad & scaffolding is surrounding this building. We felt insulted that we had not been told.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - The unit has great views and close to the main beach. Nothing
• Joanne (9/5): We had a lovely stay at a great location with fabulous views. - Great views and great location.
• Doriana (9/5): A beautiful apartment with a fantastic view in a great location - Amazing View over Newcastle Beach. Great position and walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Very windy
• Jeremy (10/5): Awesome, relaxing and great views. - Great View and awesome location. Very comfortable and relaxing. Only suggestion would be for a small cupboard in the bathroom for storage.
• Andrew (7/5): Great location, apartment near and tidy, but very hot, air conditioning not sufficient, no parking space available. - Great location, very nice apartment. Air Conditioning was not working, was very hot in room. No car parking available due to construction work. Should have been notified of this fact.
• Michelle (10/5): It really is simply stunning! - Everything. What a place! Accommodated everything. Great taste in decor. Views amazing. Smelt so clean and fresh. Close to everything! I could live in the apartment! Nothing...catered for absolutely everything! I forgot to pack an umbrella and had a night of bad weather so only suggestion! But that's only because I forgot!
• Lynne (8/5): Good location and view. Nicely personalised apartment. - The view of the beach was amazing especially the light show from the storm. Having a photo of where to locate the driveway entry was helpful. The code for the keys caused confusion which the owner sorted out however, the swipe mechanism didn't open the roller shutter for parking, and the instruction to press the button wasn't included as a step which was frustrating.
• Tania (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dean (8/5): Very good -
• Ingrid (10/5): A - The location was fabulous and we could walk everywhere. The beach views were fabulous and we loved hearing the ocean. The apartment was modern, comfortable and beautifully decorated with a very comfy bed. We loved our stay at Simply Stunning.

• Reny (10/5): Exceptional - The place is very clean with very beautiful scenery. Communication with the host is very excellent, and they're a very helpful and friendly host. The best accommodation so far I booked through booking website. I don't have any
• Samantha (7/5): Overall my partner and I were happy with the location and loved our stay. Just a little disappointed with the cleanlines - Absolutely loved the location and view from the balcony I did think the cleanliness of the property could have been better. I could see cobwebs and dirt around skirting and bottom of couch that had built up over time. Also the bathroom wall tiles were quite unclean and the products in the shower were a bit icky with sightings of mould on the bases. Given that the apartments are no smoking we had cigarette smoke wafting through our balcony doors for the entirety of our stay ,from neighbouring apartments. This is not at all reflective of the host, only on the discourtesy of other stayers.
• Stuart (9/5): Very pleasant - Location and unit presentation and layout Tight car parking space
• Adell (9/5): Would highly recommend as a superb place to stay. We loved it - Location was as good as it gets it was superb. Great views with breakfast on the balcony watching dolphins swim with the surfers Nothing I didn’t like
