The property was a comfortable, quiet retreat. All the amenities were there and if we return to the area, we'll try and stay there. The area around is well worth the visit.

The Best Place to Stay in Morisset
If you are visiting Morisset or the surrounding areas, then you should definitely stay at the Waterfront Cottage. It is a home away from home, with little extra touches. The coffee machine and pods made our morning coffee extra special. My husband and adult children had an awesome time fishing on the river in the kayaks. The place was spotlessly clean and check in and check out was seamless. If I could rate this place more than 5 stars I definitely would. Kim you have a little diamond here and we would definitely book with you again.

Dora Creek Cottage
The cottage was fully stocked with all essentials needed. We visited from the US for an extended period of time and used the home as our base for visiting many places (Sydney, Blue Mountains, New Castle, Port Stephens, Nelson Bay, and numerous beaches and National Parks).The cottage is very private with a lot of wildlife such as, water dragons, ducks, colorful parrots that landed on the porch rail and a falcon. Kayaks and fishing gear to enjoy. Communication with the owner was great and she was very gracious to provide anything needed. Dora Creek worker’s club very close for drinks and cheap eats. Local seafood market, liquor store, and grocery store close to the home. We had a wonderful time visiting.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect location for some old school friends to catch up, relax and unwind with some fishing and boating. The setting was quiet with plenty of wildlife and the home had everything we needed for our 3 night stopover. Communication from the owner was fantastic with prompt responses to any questions

Great location
Nice little two bedroom home. Backyard backed onto Dora Creek. Had everything you need. Great spot for fishing ! Updated bathroom , which is lovely. Very comfy beds. The cleanliness of the kitchen and lounges were a bit of a let down, both needing a deep clean. A dust bunny was also left on the bedside table in The second room , found this on my arrival. Over all would stay again !!!

Lovely short break
Lovely quiet property right on the water in culdesac. Loved using the kayaks and air con a blessing during our hot summer stay. Hubby loved to fish right from the backyard and would recommend Toronto workers club for a lovely meal or Pauly’s gourmet kitchen for a terrific pizza. Only recommendation would be some blockout curtains in the main bedroom as even with Venetian blinds it was very bright and sleeping in was not an option.

Relaxing by the water
Very well presented and functional 2br house fully equipped for a few days away to relax. Scrupulously clean, excellent facilities , huge fridge. Had a little trouble with one of A/C units but maybe just my inability to work out the symbols. A user guide would be helpful on site. Fridge is huge and BBQ does the job for up to 4. Wine and beer in fridge is nice touch. Beds soft and comfy. Plenty towels/blankets etc. Location is close to local shops by car 5 mins and Morriset only another 10 mins away for Coles etc. Overall quiet and relaxing yet could be an ideal base for exploring coast and Hunter. Highly recommended.
