Jul 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect property in an excellent location With views of One Mile Beach from the main bedroom (amazing sunrises), this property is perfect for a family. There is plenty of living space to relax in, and having two levels gives the adults privacy from the kids downstairs. If you do hike down to the beach, just remember it is a bit of a hike to get back the hill ! Well worth staying at. ##### Mark M.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have had a week in Port Stephen’s every year for the past ten years. Driftwood at Boat Harbour, is hands down the best accommodation we’ve ever stayed in at Port Stephen’s. Greeted by caretaker Zac for keys, beds already made up & everything worked! The townhouse looks small from the outside, it’s like a tardis -ENORMOUS on the inside. As you enter the ground floor has two bedrooms, laundry and full bathroom. Great level to put your teenagers in - each bedroom has a little deck to catch the sun. You go upstairs and enter a MASSIVE open plan area, large kitchen, dining area that opens onto a balcony with bbq - and lounge area. The biggest surprise was the very large fully furnished front balcony, which overlooks One Mile Beach. You can sit on the balcony and see the ocean and even better hear the ocean all day, every day!The infinity pool and spa were great, never busy even though 24 townhouses have access. We had 4 of our family staying - but house easily accommodates up to 6 people.House best suited to families with older kids - as master bedroom is upstairs and too far away from downstairs bedrooms. Master bedroom has full view of One Mile Beach, massive walk-in wardrobe and full bathroom.All the bedrooms have fans on the ceiling, flyscreens and main living room has aircon. We didn’t use aircon as the house has brilliant cross ventilation via sliding doors and high louvre windows.Property is a 5 minute drive to both One Mile Beach and Birubi Beach at Anna Bay.The house has everything you need or want in a holiday rental. I cannot recommend it highly enough - if I win the $150,000,000 lotto this week I’ll be putting in an offer!! ##### EMMA D. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saeid S.
