As there was a brand new TV, would have been nice to have decent music system, not one that's doesn't work properly as all People don't sit in front of the TV. Doesn't have to be expensive, as the kitchen has great acoustics,other than that, value for money.

This was an excellent house for our weekend away. The kitchen and dining area is huge, as is the living room. The bedrooms are smaller but adequate. We had a few minor issues but I don't want to detract from the house by listing them all here because they weren't that bad. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

The house needed cleaning upon arrival The floors and counters covered in grease and smelt like bacon
Apart from that house was a great size for a family
Beware in the backyard the old covered area still has metal sticking out from the pavers and is sharp

The bad . There are a few basics but anything special bring it. We had to buy dishwashing liquid, laundry powder, oil, and clothes pegs. Few rolls of loo paper was not enough for 5 for a week. 2 bin liners for a whole week.There was salt and that's it. No oil no garlic crusher. One workable small fry pan. No Cork screw or bottle opener. 4 mugs two of which were chipped. Electric fry pan should be replaced. Shower can overfill and clothes washer floods outside.
The good. air con worked and is new, good shower, master bed was good (others of variable quality). Trundle bed was terrible. Clean sheets and towels. Good yard for Dog. Good cover for two cars. Bbq seemed ok. Overall dated clean comfortable property.

In terms of space, the house was great. However, the property has been neglected in terms of maintenance. The backyard was riddled with insects and spiders. The patio had a dead vine covered in cobwebs and spiders which is not safe for the dog or anyone for that matter. The oven was filthy, there was toiletries left over from previous rentals and I had to re-wash all the dishes and utensils before using them. Very disappointed because I haven't experienced this before from the same property agent I have been using for 20 years. We left 1 week before our holiday was up.

The house was in a great location. It was a really nice big space especially with two toddlers.But as I picked this property specifically for its pet friendly appeal I was a little disappointed in the backyard, the yard size was great but the pergola had no cover on it so it wasn't great for a weekend of rain with dogs.Other than that it was clean and well maintained, however the bedspreads did have multiple stains on them which wasn't the nicest.

Pretty good location, 10min walk to country club, and beach. Quiet street at night, but day time hundreds of motorbikes reving up the street all day for hours.
House was big enough, but cleanliness was below average, walked in and the smell of a house that’s not been cleaned or even opened in months. You couldn’t walk on the floor with no shoes on as the floor was grossly dirty. The house was not cleaned prior to us arriving at all. Carpets were filthy with stains and the mattresses look like they had been borrowed from a brothel stained with god knows what. No fitted sheets were provided so if your staying take your own sheets and bedding and cleaning materials so you can clean the house before staying. I got this a good price other sites had it for over $300 more If id had paid the higher price I’d be demanding a refund. As I said served it’s purpose but the times we are living in, the house was not in a satisfactory cleaned covid condition. Even the back area, the table and bbq are was not swept or cleaned in a long time. Also only half of the power points worked in the house and the front screen door was broken. So screen door didn’t lock.

The living areas and kitchen were very spacious and everything was clean. Easy walk to Wreck Beach, walking trails and just a slightly longer walk to Shoal Bay cafes and shops. Appreciated the space, easy parking, tiled floors, ducted a/c, fenced backyard and friendly office staff. The vertical blinds are a bit dated and let in street lights at night (especially the front bedroom), bedroom carpet was quite stained and there was some broken furniture in a corner of the living room that brought down the tone. Overall a really good, spacious property in a convenient location though.

Photos don't do this spacious 3-bedder justice
We had a great stay in this speacious 3-bedroom house. The photos really don't do it justice. The living room and kitchen/dining area are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. We were very grateful that we could bring our dog and keep him inside during the cold winter nights. The fenced garden was great for him to play in. The laundry has a second toilet which came in handy. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the short drive to the beach and center of Nelson Bay. Overall, a great choice for families with or without a dog.
