The picturesque white sandy beach is a calm water harbour beach, ideal for families with little ones. This splendid architecturally-designed duplex takes full advantage of its superb location.

Running parallel with the beach there’s a pathway through the peaceful, lush reserve, perfect for the kids to ride scooters or bikes along. Or, wander 100m along the path to a waterfront children’s playground and the Peppers-owned Anchorage for seaside dining or pampering yourself at the Anchorage’s renowned day spa. Alternatively, take this delightful coastal path and ride or stroll for 4 km into Nelson Bay’s town centre and famous d’Albora Marina. Dolphins are often spotted from the pretty beach and the kids are sure to relish their time exploring, swimming and playing on the beach and waterfront reserve.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 9 had a wonderful stay at Corlette - perfect location (especially with toddlers) and beautiful accommodation. We would love to return. There were just a few amenities missing that might be expected in a holiday house. An outside umbrella so that we could use the outside table on sunny days. A clothes horse and laundry basket so we could dry clothes on a rainy day. Waste baskets in bedrooms/bathrooms upstairs. Serving spoons. All easily rectified... We still had a great holiday and would recommend to others. ##### Jennie S.
