The location and secure backgarden for the dog was great. The house had many facilities, but we ate out at all the great nearby restuarants that were within walking distance. The second reason for choosing Bella Vista was the fire in the lounge but this does not work. We had to phone the agent to find this out when we could not get it lit. The web site lists the fire and shows photos of the fire working. This needs to change on the web site.. The house was warm due to the split system and it was a very cold Easter but I was very disappointed not to have the lounge room fire, There were electric ones in the bedrooms. There was no information book on the property on facilities etc which we also let the agent know about. ##### Jennifer I.

We love the large, well fenced backyard and location close to the dog beach. The house is spacious and quite comfortable but could do with some improved facilities, especially as the price increased quite significantly since last year. It would be great to have Wifi, outdoor chairs/table and new mattresses (the one in the main room was a bit "tired") ##### Catriona K.

Very short work to fish-coop, dog beach and the pub. A secure backyard for the dog to run around and lovely shade for us to nap on the lawn. ##### Fiona P.

This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra Hunter H. 2 Nov 2016 #### Good Property The house was in a great position and very well set out, has everything in side the house you could want...the remote for the dvd did not work and we could only use a few channels, The grill over the stove was to dirty to use it. Outside I think they need railings on the front and back stairways. The back porch has heaps of bird poops and the bbq was so bad it needs replacing. It was also disappointing that there was no outside setting for such a great back garden. I would go back and recommend if these things were fixed up.The 3 bedrooms have a fire in each room and one in the lounge also. But I think if you suffer from the heat this could be a problem as there is no aircon. ##### Sandra Hunter H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in London City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-City-Centre-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6195474-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Rove Hotel London Paddington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Rove-London-Hotel.h67403731.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Newcastle-Stephenson-Quarter.h9610649.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Teesside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/182671/flights-from-teesside) ### Packages > [New York Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York.d178293.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Europe Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Europe.d6022967.Holidays-City-Breaks)
