The unit was beautiful - shiny new kitchen with everything available. The outside terrace is amazing - overlooking the river and swimming pool, with enough privacy with the tropical palms in the terrace. We loved this little village - quiet and welcoming and will return annually ##### Angie b. ### 6/10 Okay #### Louise F. 13 Nov 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Good location Place was very unclean. I spent the first few hours after arrival cleaning. Floors unswept, sinks needed a good scrub, hair and marks all over walls in bathroom, layer of dust on top of shelves, fridge, light switches etc. Other then that the location is always great for fishing and swimming. although I think the area has gone downhill since last I visited alot of rubbish, broken glass, drunks, and dog droppings in the neighbourhood. ##### Louise F. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Louise F. 2 Jan 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Perfect location for the whole family Location was excellent easy walking distance to fishing and beach. the pool was also great and clean. Pool could do with some shade though even just an umbrella for parents to sit under. Outdoor area was a beautiful garden but ruined by the old broken down furniture. And the amount of furniture it felt cluttered. Unit was also good with the amount of beds and rooms. Could do with a spring clean though and more detail to cleaning. Food and dirt under lounges. Filth under and in lounge cushions. Cockroaches in bedrooms. Also rats in the parking area which chewed our wiring and resulted in our car being at the mechanics for a day. Overall was a lovely holiday that made everyone happy as the kids loved the pool being right at the unit, hubby caught some fish and I had a break from work. Thank you. ##### Louise F.

Only real issue is parking with only 6 parking spots & nowhere for a boat. You can park across the road which gets pretty busy around Christmas/New Year. Happily stay there again as it is in a great spot. ##### Nadine B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Gail B. 7 Feb 2020 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location. Perfect location. On the river, short walk to a beautiful beach and a lovely swimming pool in the complex of units. Coin operated laundry. A shop a few doors down. Comfortable beds & lounge area. Angela very sincere and lovely to deal with. ##### Gail B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark H. 7 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot Easy to book ##### Mark H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen D., Tahmoor nsw 28 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great ##### Stephen D.

Advertised as suiting up to 6 adults, it’s really more for four adults and two children due to the low singles with thin foam mattresses on a base. Our group was all older family and my Aunty in her seventies struggled with this bed. All modern amenities, we were very comfortable with our hot water bottles but if you go in winter perhaps throw in an extra blanket as only light doonas were supplied. Close to great meals at the bowling club ##### Lisa J. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brigitte G. 8 Jun 2018 #### Fabulous place to stay!

Blue Water is in the perfect location and is nicely appointed. Perhaps some work on ventilation would take it from 'good' to 'excellent' accommodation. ##### paul s.

Kitchen appliances were all working and beds were very comfortable. The location is perfect as it is only a few minutes walk from the beach and there is a general store only two houses down open everyday. Overall a pleasant stay and I would recommend it to my friends. ##### Kris K.

Place is so peaceful and tranquil but with Old Bar and Taree short drive away you wont have to skimp on good coffee and meal (Thai place in Old Bar is definitely worth a visit). Accommodation itself has everything you need for comfortable stay and is fantastic value for money. ##### Leanne T.
