Another enjoyable stay
This is the 5th time Ive stayed at the property in the last 6yrs and once again it was very enjoyable. Whilst the overall condition of the property has gradually gone downhill a bit the location and price cannot be matched. Located directly opposite the beach its the perfect summmer location.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is great but that’s about it. The house is out dated, there were cobwebs, cockroaches and rat poor in the house itself. Parts of the inside and outside have fallen off and not been fixed. Not enough cutlery to accommodate the beds. Mattresses had springs coming out of them. Mould in the bathroom in the main house, holes in the wall, really dusty. There was no fridge or cutlery in the granny flat.

Great location
This property is old and in need of a lot of repairs It would benefit from a decent broom a dustpan and broom maybe an iron and the cleaners doing a better job and a little freshen up maybe some air fresheners But we had a great stay

Lots of beds
The location was awesome directly opposite the water. Short stroll to Nelson Bay and nearby marine lookout with spectacular views. Heaps of rooms and beds with a self contained unit away from the main house. The property is old and a bit run down, but for the location price and size it was awesome. Will return.

Weekend away
Overall, it was a good experience. Location was great. The house needs a bit of work though, a few things weren't working properly. The lawn could have been tidied up prior to guest arrival.

Excellent location, walk to town or the club. Walk across the road for a swim or a fish. Some of the bed could do with an upgrade, but other then that it was great.

Fantastic location
This house has a fantastic location with beach across the road. Shops and park are walking distance. House has plenty of space and several toilets, which is handy for big groups. Kitchen was a good size. Only downside was furniture needs an update and a few creepy crawlies here and there. Apart from that kids and adults had a great time!

Perfect location. Old house.
The house location is wonderful. The house is old while the kitchen, bathroom and air conditioner work well. Defects and suggestions: lots of furniture are broken. Too many insects in the house and granny flat. Sleeping beds are dirty. We understand the listing does not include linens, towels and paper rolls and we successfully manage them. But they will be a real value to the guests, very useful to the tourists. It's the difference between the accommodation and the camp.

Good location but house was worn out
Good location with just across the road to the beautiful beach but house was worn out and old. Most of the light bulbs and lamps were not working. We were excited that there was an Granny flat available with separate kitchen, aircon and TV but unfortunately TV has no antenna attached, aircon temp was not adjustable, curtain broken, bathroom light bulb not working so we couldn’t stay in the granny flat. Good thing about the house is they have many bedrooms. Other than that, the kitchen has no dish washer, living room floor was floor tile with small rug in the middle and quite cold for kids to walk around. We went at winter time so definitely house was not suitable for us. This would be a very lovely house if the owner willing to renovate and redecorate the house since it’s situated at such a perfect location. Neighbour was a bit noisy as they have a few units next to the house.
