A beautiful, quiet place to relax and enjoy the view across the bay, the birdsong, the ocean breezes, the waves breaking on the shore and the healthy walks to the beaches and bush of Shoal Bay and nearby. We look forward to coming back. Andrew, Patricia and Robbie

We had a bit of a hiccup with keys upon arrival but it was sorted out quickly by the host. The apartment was clean, cosy and lovely with amble blankets, towels and tea. We loved that we could easily store our bikes in the garage and take off riding straight from the door. The only thing that I would say is that the shower’s water pressure was weak, but is expected for the era of the building. We loved our stay, it had stunning views, a quick walk straight onto the beach and it’s cute little balcony with a comfy day bed to chill out. Thank you, would love to return sometime soon!

Great location & views. Kitchen a little dated and despite closing doors & windows and putting food away etc had a multitude of bugs in it every night. Also found an open half full packet of chips under one of the beds. Shower temp was difficult to get right. Overall though the unit was set out nicely and had free WiFi, Netflix and Apple TV which was good. Owners were easy to communicate with and provided good information.

I loved the beach frontage and was able to walk along the beach direct from the apartment. The view was beautiful, the apartment was clean, functional and everything I needed. Would be great to bring the family with me next time. Thanks for a great stay!

Beachside apartment.
Older style apartment but with all amenities & off street garage parking - top class linen - towels etc - perfect for a couple or small family.
Balcony with seating & easy access to the bay!
We would definitely stay again!

Excellent location, close to beach and bushland. Everything needed for a family stay was there. While the apartment was comfortable, the electric stove was old and the hotplates were not efficient, and the shower was difficult to adjust for temperature. Despite these issues we enjoyed our stay and would return.

The unit was really comfortable and very much felt like home.
It was right on the beach so fabulous location for beach lovers.
While it’s a short drive to surrounding shops and restaurants the location would be less attractive if you did not have your own transport but that is the only slightly negative thing I could say.
I would highly recommend this place.

Right on the beach. Beautiful spot. So wonderful to watch the sunrise from the balcony each day. Minor cleaning could be freshened up. Shower screen rims, taps, corners etc.

Close to the water.
Well within amenities.
Had to contact the owner directly to access the property as there was no prior instructions or email.
No a/c . It could have been an issue if the weather was too hot.
Outdated leather lounges and bathroom ( shower )

A Little Piece of Paradise!
What a fabulous location! Lay in bed at night and listen to the gently sounds of the bay which is so close you can nearly put your hand out to touch it! Easy walk to Shoal Bay. The apartment may be a little dated but the little touches makes more than up for it. Coffee machine, linen provided, towels, soaps, even the ice trays were filled and ready. Loved our stay here and can't wait to return!
