Tariff needs addressing while property in current condition
Feel that property outside rear yard is quite overgrown resulting in too much shade,mature trees need lopping, Leaf matter on ground ideal place for Cockroaches to breed, the cockroaches enjoyed keeping us company in the house .Mortein is on hand to combat this, Tariff is too much for this, when food must be kept in fridge!

perfect location. Short strolls to the coastal track into town and a child friendly beach. Super handy if you don't want to rely on your car whilst on holiday. The air con was very much appreciated. A very comfortable property to stay in. We'd love to come back.

Dutchies Observations
The accommodation was clean on arrival and complied with all benefits listed in the online application. Minor faults/problems include: 1. The rear door is difficult to lock and required adjustment. 2. The only unpleasanr tiem was an odour of what smelt like stale urine, and pesisted no matter how may times we mopped all wet area fllors and deodorised all rooms. Someone told us it may rwesuklt from a nearby sewage treatement facility, o4r pehaops faulty plumbing albeit all plumbing seem to worrk correctly but unsure of drainage.

Had a wonderful stay
Was very homely and comfortable, we loved it and will be back. The only improvements that would make our next stay perfect would be to have a handle in shower to ease getting in and out as well as a rail or something to hold onto to go down the front stairs.

Positives: dog friendly and easy walk to the beach, light and airy interior, comfortable beds, walking distance to the marina and town centre, well-equipped. Negative: if you have a dog that is larger or an escape artist, you will probably find you will not be able to contain it in the back yard of this property.

Highly recommended holiday stay
The location and condition of the home were excellent. Everything was catered for. Having had a self catering cottage in South Africa, we were very impressed and dog friendly May I suggest two things. Replace the kitchen mixer tap. It is very stiff to operate and is leaking Also the shower is constantly dripping into the bath. Very minor issues but I thought you might like to be advised about them. We would highly recommend the house to our family and friends Thank you. Brian, Trix and Sprocket Krumm

Great Location but needs a deep clean
The property is set in a great location, a few minutes walk from Dutchies beach and the dog friendly Bagnalls Beach. There is also a lovely 20 minutes walk into the d'Albora Marinas. However the property really needs a deep clean and dusting, for example stained bedspread and lounges. Another issue is we encountered a lot of cockroaches within the property so it really needs pest control. The property itself is lovely and if the issues above were addressed it would be a great place to stay.

Great for a quiet getaway
Easy to find, house in generally good condition, amazing back garden that would be great for dogs, walking distance to all relevant locations in Nelson's Bay. Bathroom is one of the highlights although odd-sized bath that is more of an over-sized shower tray. My only criticism would be that the furniture in the lounge is more like garden furniture than a proper couch you can curl up on for the night and that the house comes without many basic household items e.g bath-mat

Very clean house and close to amenities, also very comfy beds.
House was very clean in a very good location, walk to shops, beach etc. Only problem we were told there was no WiFi so we bought a dongle, then after arriving there is a note on fridge giving details of the internet. So $30.00 dongle of no use to us.

Dutchies Haven
This is a very comfortable home in an ideal location. A few minutes' walk to the beach or marina, yet tranquil and away from the rush. Safely fenced for our mini-kelpies, we recommend the property whether or not you have a pet. 3 star rating for check in only because we were given the wrong keys! But our 3 week stay was just lovely, and we'll plan to be back in 2021.
