Nelson Bay Stay

William was a timely communicator. When we needed to postpone our trip twice due to illness he was very accommodating. The property would have been nice however the floors looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned and there was a unpleasant smell coming from laundry - I believe these would be easy fixes. The location in terms of proximity to beach and shops was pretty good and walkable however we stayed in the master room and there was quite a lot of light coming in as we were on a main road and the noise could be bad at points.

Very nice comfortable accommodation

Overall the accommodation was great for a family week away and would definitely stay again! One of the cleanest and well set up places we've stayed at in the last 11 years of consistently holidaying in the area. Kitchen was a good size and adequately equipped, bedding was comfortable, internet access kept the kids entertained, the downstairs/upstairs aircon was heaven on the >30C days with ceiling fans alone enough for a comfortable nights sleep and the communal pool was very convenient if you don't want to stay at the beach all day. The location is quite central to access Shoal Bay, Nelson Bay Marina or Salamander Bay shops and lastly, the owner was very communicative. Constructive feedback, there is no street space to park behind the property and no access to the back garage from Hardy St (this wasn't a surprise as I checked google maps before I arrived) but since you cannot park on the rear driveway to simply stop to drop off groceries or unload & drive off (doing so would block your neighbour), it would be so much more convenient to have an automatic garage door. The manual door is quite cumbersome and my Wife was not able to open it herself. To us it was a minor inconvenience but something that should be transparent to avoid disappointment. Again overall a great place to stay and we'd definitely stay again.

Well Placed Positioned Town House!

Well functional town House with ALL of the goods for the family with children! Small backyard with BBQ, sitting outside under the Patio, big kitchen, laundry and 3 bedrooms upstairs with aircon..bit noisy with passing traffic but 250-300 met walk to the RSL Club about 600 meters walk to Little Beach and Little Boathouse Restaurant ...and a 20-30 min walk into Salamendar Bay Prescient. All good...TV abit small and I do think it needs "an annual Pestrid" going over but I'd stay there again if wanting!

Close proximity to Nelson Bat but house needs polish

On a positive note, communication with the owner was prompt and the beds were comfortable. The house is also close to the centre of town. However, the property is on a noisy main road (not ideal for children who nap during the day), and we found the house to be very dark and gloomy, even on a sunny day. The floor upstairs creaked, waking up house guests and we found a lot of dust and rubbish under the couch and on light fittings and fans. Also, you cannot access the property via the most logical and direct entry point and must drive around the block to access the garage, which is very inconvenient. Overall, we believe the property was oversold in the advertisement and we were not overly satisfied with our stay.

Home away from home!

My husband, 8 month old son and I stayed here on our first family holiday and I am already planning our next stay! The property manager was always happy to answer queries and assist however he could. The property had everything a young family could need, really the only difficulty was bringing our luggage down the back stairs at night so I would just aim to arrive in daylight in the future. The properties location was great, we walked down to the main street every morning for breakfast and across the road to the markets on the weekend! We will most certainly be back!

Cosy and good location

Nice house and ideally located. Lacked a dryer which we gather is a standard these days and it affected us as we had an infant with us. Good communication with the owner and he dealt with an issue we raised with him effectively.

We had a fantastic stay!! The property is in a great location for walks in to town and to the beaches. The house itself is lovely, it has a really well stocked pantry/fridge with all the basics you need. Communication with the owner was excellent and replies to my queries were prompt.

Excellent property with a COMPLETE holiday house

We all enjoyed our stay at Serenity at Nelson Bay. It is a very nice and comfortable house with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, spacious living and dinning area. Beds are comfortable with air-con, made a sweet dream on your holiday. The owners are very generous to provide a COMPLETE kitchen with all necessities even little things like sugar, salt and oil. We did not need to worry all these especially you do not need to buy small quantity just for the holiday. Beach towels are included, it helps me to pack less for holiday. Kids enjoyed the board games, DVD and even bikes. Location is very close to town centre. My husband enjoyed the morning walk to buy coffee. I give them a LIKE.

Very well appointed unit.

We really enjoyed our stay at "Serenity", Nelson Bay as the unit was very well appointed with all the home comforts you need on holiday. It had a neat homely feel about it and comfortable to live in. It was handy to shops, the marina and lots of seashore walks.
