Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hard to leave This place had it all. It had several bedrooms allowing enough space for all of us, we used every bed. Ping pong table and pool to provide endless entertainment. There is a soundbar with the outdoor TV that we connected with Bluetooth to act as out sound system, which worked flawlessly for the entire downstairs/outdoor area. The adjustable awning allowed the smoke of the bbq to easily escape, while the rest of the patio still had shade. The sliding doors allowed us to completely open up the house to create a real indoor outdoor living space that was able to either completely bring the group together or create different nooks and crannies for people to hang out. The location is a short 5-10 minute walk to Box Beach or 10-15 minute walk to Shoal Bay and the SBCC. The hosts are a formal company based in Nelson Bay and were extremely helpful in resolving a minor issue we had while we were there. I hope I get the opportunity to rent this place again sometime again in the future.Only small drawbacks to take note of: there aren't dressers or closets in all the bedrooms, and there is only one toilet downstairs/outside ##### Riley T.

This house has everything you need for entertaining in large groups or families. Plenty of privacy and space to spread out but also lots of great entertaining spaces perfect for large groups and families. The contained backyard with playground and ping pong table was amazing for kids of all ages. Fire pit was great.

Nov 22, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Shoal Bay weekend Beautiful home, quiet street setting in residential street, close to Shoal Bay town centre. The home was well equipped in all areas including the playground and table tennis table in the garage and several adult bikes. Kitchen was a dream with all appliances necessary for our large family, only shortfall was cutlery for 10 but all other items in abundance. Plenty of seating inside and out for large numbers, great sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Even an outdoor shower and fire pit. BBQ was a little on the small size considering the area allocated for catering outside. So we used the inside large stove top to assist. We had the best time. ##### HELEN T.

So clean and the house is decorated beautifully. The location is great. So much room for a group. Beautiful entertaining area. Only disappointment was trying to get in contact with property manager. Phone just constantly rings out everytime I tried to make contact. If you leave a msg they do get back to you usually within 24hrs but frustrating you can't get through when you need to. ##### Jasmine D. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bree B.

Great outdoor entertaining area. Very Clean. Comfortable beds. Modern design. 10 min walk to the Country Club/shops/beach. The only things that could be improved upon is a detailed instructions book. We couldn’t work out how to turn on the aircon downstairs or turn off the garden lighting which shone up and in through one of the upstairs bedrooms. The water pressure could be increased too. But we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this place. ##### Bree B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Felicity R.

There was heaps of activities that we were also able to do e.g. quad biking at Williamtown, tobaggan hill park, swimming at the beach and visiting various lookouts. The best part of our holiday would definitely be our accomodation, it was very family friendly, fully equipped and was a lovely modern home away from home. ##### Mereia R.
