It's larger than appeared in the photos. The bed was not to hard, not too soft. We booked as a couple, plus dog, for 4 nights, but extended to 5, as there is so much to do and explore in the area. There were some basic supplies in the pantry, which were much appreciated, as it meant we could pick up bread, eggs and milk from around the corner and put off doing a 'big shop' in Nelson Bay until the following afternoon. The small back garden was fine for our dog, though we took him out lots for exercise and swims. The location is great, with a 2 minute walk to lovely cafe and 3 minutes to the beach. 5 minutes into the National Park for bushwalks (or trail runs in my case) and whale watching from the headland. Michelle and Andrew were very easy to communicate. The folder with maps and recommendations was well put together and spot on in terms of descriptions of great places to see and dine at. Fingal Bay also has a good flat 5km Parkrun each Saturday morning at 8am from outside the surf club. ##### Yolande B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara H. 4 May 2019 #### Wow! Amazing, pet friendly home, perfect for all of us Michelle and Andrew made us so welcome and their villa was perfect for our stay. Close to the beach and parks and not far from Nelson Bay and other Port Stephen areas. Our groodle also loved it - safe and secure as well! (Bagnalls Beach a favourite) We can't wait to come back. ##### Barbara H.
