Guest Reviews
- Adam (10/5): - A great spot, perfect for kids and within walking distance of everything. The beach being so close was awesome!
- Kylie (10/5): - Thanks so much great place to stay at
- Zandra (8/5): - Excellent location. Within walking distance to shoal bay. :)
- Andrew John (10/5): - A great place to spend a few days walking, swimming and relaxing in idyllic natural surroundings. Thank you Kerrie for being such a considerate host.
- Birgitte (10/5): - The unit was very peaceful and in an excellent beachfront location. The decor inside was lovely and the quality of linens and appliances and all kitchen items provided was excellent. The hosts provided easy check in and great communication. We loved our stay.
- Nathan (10/5): - The apartment was lovely and clean, the kitchen had modern appliances which was nice. The short stroll to the beach made for a quick and easy activity with our toddler. Nice big balcony to sit on and look out on the water. The area was lovely and quiet. Short drive to the middle or Nelson Bay or Shoal Bay and central to most of the activities in the area. We would gladly stay again 🙂
- Andrew and Patricia (10/5): - A beautiful, quiet place to relax and enjoy the view across the bay, the birdsong, the ocean breezes, the waves breaking on the shore and the healthy walks to the beaches and bush of Shoal Bay and nearby. We look forward to coming back. Andrew, Patricia and Robbie
- Renee (8/5): - We had a bit of a hiccup with keys upon arrival but it was sorted out quickly by the host. The apartment was clean, cosy and lovely with amble blankets, towels and tea. We loved that we could easily store our bikes in the garage and take off riding straight from the door. The only thing that I would say is that the shower’s water pressure was weak, but is expected for the era of the building. We loved our stay, it had stunning views, a quick walk straight onto the beach and it’s cute little balcony with a comfy day bed to chill out. Thank you, would love to return sometime soon!
- kerrie (10/5): - Beachfront Shoal Bay exceeded our expectations with attention to detail regarding location, cleanliness & inclusions. We would love to book gain very soon
- Cheerie (8/5): Relaxing - The unit was a great place to stay ,right next to the beach, a great walking path from nelson bay to shoal bay. Down behind the unit.
- Cathy (8/5): - Great location & views. Kitchen a little dated and despite closing doors & windows and putting food away etc had a multitude of bugs in it every night. Also found an open half full packet of chips under one of the beds. Shower temp was difficult to get right. Overall though the unit was set out nicely and had free WiFi, Netflix and Apple TV which was good. Owners were easy to communicate with and provided good information.
- Andrew (10/5): - Spent a very relaxing, enjoyable four days. Kitchen and bathroom provisions generous. Quality furnishings. Owners very helpful. Breakfast on the balcony. Lovely filtered views across Shoal Bay and 2 minutes to swimming beach. We'll be back!
- Beverley (10/5): - I loved the beach frontage and was able to walk along the beach direct from the apartment. The view was beautiful, the apartment was clean, functional and everything I needed. Would be great to bring the family with me next time. Thanks for a great stay!
- Kylie (10/5): - Great location, nice decor and well equipped for a comfy stay.
- Carolyn (2/5): - The place was not clean
Kitchen not up to a reasonable standard
Stove top dirty above stove filthy, jug dirty on the outside remote controls where filthy mugs in pantry all stained
- Vivienne (8/5): Beachside apartment. - Older style apartment but with all amenities & off street garage parking - top class linen - towels etc - perfect for a couple or small family.
Balcony with seating & easy access to the bay!
We would definitely stay again!
- Geoff (10/5): - Excellent location, close to beach and bushland. Everything needed for a family stay was there. While the apartment was comfortable, the electric stove was old and the hotplates were not efficient, and the shower was difficult to adjust for temperature. Despite these issues we enjoyed our stay and would return.
- Vicki (8/5): - Very comfortable unit with nice views. Nice extras left for guests. We enjoyed our stay very much. Shower pressure disappointing but overall great holiday place.
- Ram (10/5): - In all our years of coming to Shoal Bay - over 15 years this would be the best equipped flat we have lived at. Fantastic and well done!
- Peggy (10/5): - This property was perfect for the 2 of us. So well equipped and comfortable beds.The view of course was so relaxing on large patio.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Brian - The unit was really comfortable and very much felt like home.
It was right on the beach so fabulous location for beach lovers.
While it’s a short drive to surrounding shops and restaurants the location would be less attractive if you did not have your own transport but that is the only slightly negative thing I could say.
I would highly recommend this place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Right on the beach. Beautiful spot. So wonderful to watch the sunrise from the balcony each day. Minor cleaning could be freshened up. Shower screen rims, taps, corners etc.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Close to the water.
Well within amenities.
Had to contact the owner directly to access the property as there was no prior instructions or email.
No a/c . It could have been an issue if the weather was too hot.
Outdated leather lounges and bathroom ( shower )
- Brian (10/5): A Little Piece of Paradise! - What a fabulous location! Lay in bed at night and listen to the gently sounds of the bay which is so close you can nearly put your hand out to touch it! Easy walk to Shoal Bay. The apartment may be a little dated but the little touches makes more than up for it. Coffee machine, linen provided, towels, soaps, even the ice trays were filled and ready. Loved our stay here and can't wait to return!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a very relaxing 3 weeks. The apartment was clean and in a great location. Kerrie and Hugh were very responsive to a request for cleaning half way through our stay .... Thank you. Hopefully we will return!
- Geoff (10/5): - Fantastic location with filtered views of Shoal Bay.
- Chung Shun (8/5): Convenient - The property is well located. It is convenient to various tour attractions and dining areas. The Shoal Bay beach is just behind the unit for a quick swim or a walk along the beach.
The unit has its charm, but it also needs some minor maintenance for the exhaust fan and shower.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - An amazing spot right next to the beach with everything you need. Clean and comfy beds and a beautiful balcony to enjoy the surroundings. The cleanliness was disappointing and could do with a deep clean . Other than that we had a wonderful stay . Thank you
- Donna (10/5): Best location and what a view! - This sturdy retro 1st floor unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The first thing you notice as you walk in is the spectacular view of the bay and the Heads. The unit is quiet and within walking distance to Shoal Bay, Little Beach, Nelson Bay and even Fingal Beach. Our car got to stay in it’s locked garage. Little luxuries like the dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, coffee machine, reclining lounge chairs and Netflix really make a difference.
- kim (6/5): - the apartment is closer to shoal bay than nelson bay which was ok for us as we like walking the exterior of the building is older so looks abit tired the interior of the apartment has had some renovations but not a complete makeover and could do with areally good spring clean which would make alot of difference especially in these covid times had a nice break but wont be hurrying back
- Jason (10/5): - Wow, what a spot! Absolutely loved it. Mesmerising view from a great balcony!
- Anne (10/5): - What a great part of the world, fabulous scenery. Lots of nice cafes and resturants. A comfortable unit with everything you could need. We will be back!
- Nicki (10/5): - Beachfront at Shoal Bay was perfect for us as a family. Great access to beach, comfy beds, fully equipped.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved it because it was next the beach and close to every where we needed to be
- Naomi (10/5): - Perfect location, so close to the beach and situated in a very quiet street. Perfect for families.
- Brett (8/5): - You can’t beat beachfront. It was great to sit on the balcony overlooking the water.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was an enjoyable stay. The unit had everything we needed. Loved the beautiful views & that it was so close to the water.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very close to beach
Well furnished
Comfortable,relaxing
Close to cafes
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very close to beach, comfy beds and lounge, shops close by. Cleaners need to be better at their job.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The view and property location were first rate.
Quiet location right on the beach.
We had everything we needed but the drier didn't work and amenities need upgrading. That being said we had everything we needed.
- Wong (10/5): - Beach front, quiet, reasonably well maintained. Clear check I. Instructions. Comfortable and suitable for family.
- Cheryl (10/5): “How’s the serenity?” - Entirely peaceful, fabulous view and nothing to hear at night except the waves. This little apartment was very comfortable and homey in a building at the end of a cul de sac with reserve between it and the beach. An older unit, it was still well equipped with full kitchen, a washing machine and dryer, wifi (a rarity in properties in this area), a lock-up garage and a second car spot. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and there are 2 single beds and a double in the second bedroom. For the most part, it felt like I was the only person in the building! Admittedly, I was there in July before the school holidays started, but I have never stayed in a place that was so quiet. The area itself was lovely and we did the whale watching cruise with the Moonshadow company, lucky enough to see whales, seals and dolphins. I will definitely return.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything about the property is fantastic. Views, quiet, great location to town and beach. The only thing we could mention was that the clothes dryer does not work properly. There is not warm or hot setting that works. It only blows cold air and the clothes will not dry.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location. Unit was well set up for a comfortable stay. Comfy bed and enjoyed the balcony which looked out to the ocean
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location & facilities were great. Very close to beach and not far from plenty Nelson Bay and lots of activities.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beachfront shoalbay was such an incredible place, it is a few meters away from the beach, close to restaurants.
- Ted (8/5): - All good very quiet around the units. Can see the water from the unit.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - HAPPY : Great Location !! Awesome view from Balcony/inside property.
Good Sleeping arrangement , quality pillow & bed:)
NOT HAPPY:
Cleanness. It was dusty on the dining table and carpets. I try to use the vacuum machine but it was half broken .. not doing its job properly. A strange smell all over the place.. possibly it was really old property. Inside Microwave.. it was really dirty. I have spent almost an hour to clean and make it habitable. It's just stolen the first excitement of my holiday.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fabulous position close to beach and walking distance into Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. Lots of little extras supplied - coffee machine and pods, herbal teas etc.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We are a couple and loved our stay in this unit. Beautiful Shoal Bay beach is SO close across a well maintained, almost private lawned area.The unit is fitted out with everything guests would need from wi-fi to beach chairs and beach towels. Everything was very clean and of good quality. Kitchen had ample crockery and utensils. The roomy balcony was perfect for relaxing or dining.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet cool comfortable nice towels and toiletries nice view very private.
