Great location! Amazing view from the apartment and a stones throw to the beach. Close to everything but still so quiet. Place was clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed to be warm and cool and make ourselves at home. Communication with Alan was easy. All instructions were easy. The bed was comfy. 5 star rating. Thanks so much we’ll be back!

Great two bedroom apartment overlooking beach
This property is perfectly located overlooking Dutchman's beach, a stones throw from the ocean and reasonably priced. It’s located in a quiet area with a full kitchen and two bedrooms with a door to separate the lounge. My kids enjoyed being able to duck down to the beach with ease and I really enjoyed watching the sunsets and enjoying the birdlife. My only suggestion would be to provide towels and there was a little bit of mould on one of the blinds that triggered my lungs but otherwise a fantastic property that I will stay at again if we go back to Nelson Bay.

Nice stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, lovely view & convenient access to a great child friendly beach. Only a three drive to the Main Street. The unit was clean although I had to pop out to buy pillows and blankets as the pillows were heavily stained and the quilts had an odd smell & needed a wash.

Beautiful stay
We had such a wonderful stay! The apartment was so well equipped and the view was sensational. We loved the quick access to dutchies and we spent every day at the beach! It was quite hot in the apartment with only fans as we had 30 degree days and our kids did struggle a bit with the heat as we are from a cool climate. We had such a wonderful stay and would definitely return! Just to note the main garbage bins weren’t emptied on the Monday and the smell was very strong near the stairs. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Welcome to Paradise
My husband & I stayed here for 2 weeks and we wished we had stayed for longer. I don't think you could get a more perfect location - magical views over Dutchman's Beach and just a minute's walk before your toes are in the water & walking distance to the shops in Nelsons Bay. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly require & stocked it. I hope to be able to visit again.

Relaxing Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nice views of Dutchies beach and beyond from the unit, which is very clean and light. It has comfortable beds and all the amenities you need to make your stay enjoyable. Very close to Dutchies Beach and access to lovely walks into Nelson Bay and to Bagnalls Beach as long as you can handle a few steps.

Sublime view
We loved staying at this property. The neighbours (who you'll probably meet on the stairs) were very friendly, the apartment was clean and well equipped. It's in a beautiful location with gorgeous foreshore walks. If you're an avid walker, runner or swimmer this is a great spot to stay. But even if you're more the tea or wine on the balcony watching the sunset, this is good for that too.
