Birubi Beach getaway at Anna Bay
Summary:
5-Bedroom - 3-Bathroom, 2-Storey House. Sleeps 10 - Bedrooms 1 and 2: King bed in each room; Bedrooms 3, 4 and 5: 2 King Single beds in each room. Experience a waterfront location whilst making memories with the family that will last a lifetime.
The Space:
Holiday on the absolute waterfront at Birubi Beach in Anna Bay, in this fabulous 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. Between May & September you can watch the humpback whales directly from your balcony and, if you're lucky, dolphins all year round! Explore the rocks and rock pools or simply play out the front on the grass reserve. A short walk takes you to the locals favourite, Birubi Beach, known to the locals as 'Morna Magic'. This magical location is where you can swim or surf at the patrolled beach. You will also find Crest Cafe and access to the famous Stockton Sand Dunes, where you can sandboard, 4WD, ride quad bikes or horses, or capture the breathtaking sunset on a camel ride. Experience a family holiday you will never forget, with everything within arm’s reach.
Upstairs, the spacious, open concept living area has been designed strategically to make the most of this unsurpassable location, with a wall of floor to ceiling glass windows drawing those truly spectacular and completely unobstructed ocean views in. The living area features a lounge area with flat screen TV, wifi, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, coffee machine and breakfast bar with stools, and an enormous 12-seater dining table. There is an air conditioner on the upper level and another one downstairs in one of the bedrooms. Additionally, fans are located inside the wardrobes. The indoors lead out to the glass-fronted front balcony overlooking the rugged and picturesque coastline – dine alfresco with the crashing of the waves and the spray of the ocean in the air.
Downstairs, you will find all 5 bedrooms. The 2 main bedrooms each feature a king bed and private ensuite with water views and access out onto the grass reserve area, while the remaining 3 bedrooms each offer 2 king single beds.
The main bathroom has a bath, shower and toilet, and the internal laundry offers a washing machine and clothes dryer. A double lock up garage features a separate games room equipped with a pool table and table tennis – fun for the whole family!

Great accommodations for extended family or friends. Location is great. House is well set up, for price. A bit tired here and there but clean and functional for groups. Would book again. Maybe a BBQ upgrade would be good.

Birubi Lane 4
We loved our 2 night stay. Property is a great size for 10. Beautiful location on the water. Property is not brand new but still good. Could have been a little cleaner. Thank you for having us.
The stay was good. Sufficient room for a large group. Property was just by the beach with magnificent views. Only draw back is, one of the door is faulty. And maybe because it is exposed to the elements of nature, the balcony door handles are rusty. The balcony doors to the 2 main rooms downstairs are also hard to open. Probably time for maintenance.

Great aspect from main bedrooms and the upstairs kitchen living area was great, everything was well stocked with spare bar fridge handy, needs some remedial work to stop water entering main bedrooms around doors during storms. Fireplace chimney made a lot of noise during windy weather. Games room was great entertainment but could do with a few improvements to equipment.
The property is located in a good location the view of the ocean and sunsets were amazing swimming in the rock pools was ok the beach was close by so good the property has all you need for your stay it just is a little run down a few things we messaged to them that need attention after our stay and the property could be cleaner and not having a remote for the tv was annoying I understand it might get lost but not really worth not replacing you can charge whoever lost it and one more thing it isn’t private so if you like your privacy not suitable as it is a public walk way in the backyard of the property overall we did enjoy our stay

The house is situated in a great position and has great views. The layout is great and very comfortable for 10 people.The only thing I would improve on is the cleanliness in the house specially the big windows and balcony glass, there was a lot of spider webs and bugs.I would also make sure all amenities are all working right including shower and BBQ.The whole house needs a little bit more TLC.
Great location and amazing views, however the property is in need of some work done and TLC to make it shine.
Little things like ensuring the place is clean (ie grill, windows and curtains) and there are adequate utensils in the kitchen (ie a spatula!) can make this place spectacular.
Upstairs living area is great for entertaining, but couches are worn out & some of the chairs at dining table are wonky.
Pool table is a nice addition, but all the pool cues are broken and even the nets on on the pockets are torn, therefore balls keep falling on the floor.

Pros and cons for the property
Location is great.
View is amazing .
Size of the property and bedroom configuration is great.
Property itself is run down. Previous reviews stated dirty, roaches etc with a note stating this issue has been amended. I was worried about this and enquired before booking and was re assured that it was fine.
It was not. Lots of roaches and bugs in carpet, inside all window sills if you open windows are filled with dead bugs and ants eating dead bugs. Kitchen roughly cleaned but not thorough. Bbq filthy. No kitchen cleaning spray provided . No basics like olive oil , sugar , salt or pepper .
Luckily for us we weren’t precious but was a bit yuck and a shame because it could be incredible. Doesn’t need to be fancy but being clean should be a priority . Replacing carpet with floor boards would fix this issue completely !
Property manager did apologise for bbq and offered cleaning however this was offered day before we checked out so no point.
Property manager was lovely and super polite though which always helps so would book with this holiday rental service again, but perhaps not this property .. undecided on that one!
Rating Details:
The property manager was somewhat unhelpful.
The vacation rental was very dirty.
I was very happy with the location.
I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.
Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental.
Reviewer Comments:
The property description was accurate regarding location, layout and nearby amenities. Nothing positive to report after this!The property was grimy and poorly serviced. It has not been maintained to a commercial standard.The owner and manager (Winning Port Stephens) did not provide good service. The managing agents are rude and dismissive of our legitimate concerns. We have rung Winning twice since our stay, but have not been shown the courtesy of a follow-up from the property managers Tanya or Anna.The owner sent painters to the house to measure it for a quote just after we arrived. No courtesy advice or notice was given and the managing agents were not aware that tradesmen were being sent to the house after we arrived.30-minute round trip to pick up key and same again to return it. No key safe available.Cobwebs and small spiders throughout interior . One guest bitten by an insect inside. Pest treatment required.Verandah and outside stairs are deteriorating, unpainted and at risk of rotting. Exposed nail heads on deck. One guest cut his toe.Deck wobbles when walking on it. Needs thorough repair and painting.Extremely hot water, ie no temperature limiter, so water in showers was scalding.Carpet throughout has numerous obvious stains: range/size/origins of stains (blood, urine?) and burns. Carpet needs to be replaced immediately.Shower screens missing in two bathrooms. Items and rubbish found in drawers. Dirty towel left behind bedroom door. Most downstairs rooms mouldy and smelly.Dirty cleaning cloths left.Key wouldn't open bedroom windows downstairs Ceiling light in front bedroom downstairs doesn't work.All toilets downstairs leak constantly. Stereo only works on one channel. CDs wouldn't play.TV in main living area didn’t work. TV in room at top of stairs played only ABC channels (!!!)No liquid/cake soap or toilet paper supplied. Coo

Great waterfront location, close to beach
Great waterfront location, close to beach, could be a bit cleaner, and one of the ensuite shower taps didn’t work, and the other ensuites door didn’t close. Bit overpriced for its uncleanliness.
Positive - The house was amazing, very spacious. Had enough space for all guests. Fantastic location with stunning views. Negative - Gas bottle was empty, one dishwasher tablet for a five night stay. En-suite issues in second king room.
