About this property
The Home Resort - Heated Pool and Tennis Court
The Home Resort is a contemporary home set on an acre, overlooking the countryside and moments away from a fabulous patrolled surf beach. Nelson Bay is a 10 minute drive, and when you're not out exploring the region or enjoying the many beaches. Take a dip in the heated pool, share a friendly game of pool or tennis, watch your favourite movie in the media room, sit with a wine in front of the fireplace or relax in the alfresco dining area and take in the delightful sunsets over surrounding farmland.
The open-plan living areas include a fully equipped kitchen with a massive butler's pantry and handy second fridge, lounge and a dining room. These living areas flow out to a covered alfresco entertaining area with a large dining setting overlooking the sizeable swimming pool and joins with the undercover back deck which houses the BBQ. Take a seat and watch the kids frolicking in the pool or take a dip yourself to cool off after a hit of tennis on the full size court. Gaze out over the tranquil views of the countryside while you enjoy a meal or listen to the children playing around the grounds. The comfortable media room and massive separate pool table room, which also has sofas, a large smart TV and seating around the pool table, provide two other delightful forms of entertainment.
Sleeping up to 9 guests in 5 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed, WIR and ensuite with double vanity.

Reviewer Comments:
Great place to stay, location and facilities excellent but mould found in the dishwasher and lack of communication over the bond payment.
The house was lovely with great facilities but required some attention with some things broken eg basketball hoop, shoe rack at the front door, chair near bbq ripped and no proper bbq tools and not all of the lights working on the tennis courts. Apart from these things we all had a great weekend in this house!

Reviewer Comments:
The Home Resort at One Mile is a fabulous house for a family holiday. Everything you need to keep kids and adults entertained was there. We loved the open spaces of the back yard and the tennis court. The pool was excellent for the younger kids. The house is modern and well maintained and very functional. Comfortable beds and space to get some quiet time was welcome. The kitchen was well stocked with all you need for cooking and we did a full Christmas lunch there. Big and little kids loved the games room and the seperate TV room. A problem with the door locks was quickly resolved by the Manager. It was so good we gave booked it for the same time next year.

Upon arrival, the sink did not work and I had informed the company which managed my booking. They told me it shouldn’t be an issue and it wasn’t our fault. However, when it was time for my bond to return. i had been charged extra amount for the sinks repair. I had to do several calls to get my money back. The man i spoke to on the phone was not helpful and was adamant on not returning my money.Other than that, the property was good and had nice facilities such as a pool and tennis court.

Absolutely amazing! From the moment we set foot into the property we were amazed by the cleanliness, comfortability, spacing, and the wide range of entertainment. The whole family enjoyed the stay and will definitely recommend this to friends. Located only 5 minutes from One Mile beach and a few minutes from the local shopping mall, the location of the property was perfect! Thank you to the staff at Stay Port Stephens, very professional and helpful with our phone calls!

I loved the house very very nice location . Big and comfy to fit plenty of people. The things that were broken or faulty they fixed right away . The heated pool was amazing best part of the house .
The cues weren’t in the best shape and no chalk also no tennis rackets could be found !
Honestly overall it was amazing and genuinely hope to be out there with family next time and for longer !

We had two full days to enjoy our time at the property. The main reason for renting it was access to the pool and tennis court, as we planned to spend most of our stay by the pool after several days at the beach at another property.Upon arrival, we wound back the pool cover and discovered that the plastic underlay showed clear signs of deterioration. The TV in the main living area was not functioning correctly, the Wi-Fi details were not initially available, and there were no amenities provided for use of the tennis court (such as tennis racquets and balls).Plastic fragments and particles of varying sizes from the deteriorating underlay were visible throughout the pool. I spent approximately 20 minutes cleaning the pool, only to find additional fragments at the bottom, not just on the surface. I did not feel comfortable allowing my family, particularly my daughters, to use the pool due to the risk of ingesting plastic.I was advised that someone would attend the property the following day to investigate and address the issues raised. However, given our limited time and the likelihood that the pool issue would not be resolved promptly in my opinion, we made the decision to depart early.We ultimately stayed at the Ramada Resort, where we were able to enjoy our remaining days.We will never be back to the Home Resort
