Slightly Disappointed

A lil disappointment with our stay. The location is great but sadly whoever the company is that manages the cleaning services needs a tune up. I would be devastated if I was the owner paying for this service. Dust everywhere, the bedrooms clearly don’t get cleaned, even found dirty tissues under the bed. It was all just a bit grubby. Sadly the vacuum cleaner didn’t work / suck so with 2 small toddlers it wasn’t ideal. Very glad we found out b4 too late at night we had to make all the beds, found out the hard way what ‘linen packs’ meant. Sadly I would not stay again but this place really did have potential.

Nice town house

The town house was very clean and well equiped with all you need for a holiday away from home. Internet and foxtel were an added bonus. It was a nice location and very easy walking distance to the beach shops of Shoal Bay- One downside - We were there on a Fri and Sat night and the front bedroom did get a bit of street noise. Also I booked through Stayz but the property is managed by a property manager who manages a number of properties - there were additional charges as you have to pay the Stayz fee- All communication was via my email not through the Stayz system. It felt it also the personal touches you get when booking with host direct - I would book direct with property manager next time and not his Stayz.

Great Value for money

Awesome location! Very well equipped kitchen, foxtel and Netflix handy in wet weather. Would just be mindful of stair case with toddlers but there is a baby gate in the garage.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was very disappointed to have such a hefty surcharge if we arrived one hour earlier. Because of my husband s serious health issues it would have helped so much. We didn’t allow this extra in our budget. Everything else was perfect. Thank you.

It's located in the perfect spot in Shoal Bay - close to the beach, shops, restaurants, etc. Pleasantly surprised with the added features of foxtel and entertainment/games for the kids. Very spacious place and has a beach feel to it! A decent size backyard for our small dog too. Perfect place for a couple or a family. Will definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable

Loved this property! It was clean, crisp, comfortable and had everything you could need away from home. Beds were very clean and comfortable, the lounge area was very clean and comfortable. A quick walk to the Main Street and beach and loved having the garage to park car safely and bikes.
