  a guest from Grays Point, New South Wales recommends this vacation rental

  We had a lovely stay at this property. The location is fantastic, just across the road from the beach with cafes and restaurants right out front. The property was clean, beds were comfortable and the rooftop terrace with spa was wonderful. Unfortunately the BBQ was very dirty and the gas bottle completely empty when we arrived and I received no response from the management company when I emailed regarding this. I also advise anyone staying to take their own dishwashing liquid and dishwasher tablets (also washing machine powder) as the 'care package' provided is not sufficient.
  All in all, it's a great property and we would definitely stay again. Port Stephens is a wonderful part of NSW, there is so much to see and do!

  Just across from the beach , very good outdoor areas but they were not very clean. The bbq was dirty. Good size apartment , some different furniture than in the photos and more old fashioned.

  Laura P from OTHER does not recommend this vacation rental.

  First impressions were not great at all. When we arrived at the apartment which was just after 2pm (just after check in time) we found the property in a disgustingly unclean state. Trying to contact the property managers was difficult but after numerous attempts they finally said a cleaner was on the way. After a long drive to get there we were really disappointed to have to wait over 2 hours until we could check in to a clean apartment. When you are paying $400 plus a night you really expect a higher level of cleanliness not to mention the extra importance of this during COVID-19. Apart from the location was great and we do love Shoal Bay.

    We are so sorry to hear of your experience and agree that it is not acceptable. We were still in the process of changing our booking system, so some of our properties were not getting the cleaner notification. This has now been rectified and we hope that future guests do not have the same problem.
