As it was Sunday afternoon (late), we decided to clean the property ourselves as it was unlikely that anyone would turn up till Monday morning to clean properly. Apartment itself is in a good position with water views. While the apartment is non-smoking, opening the balcony door lets in the smoke from the other apartments as well as the smokers who tend to congregate on the street below. There is an adequate supply of crockery and cutlery as well as cooking pots and pans if you want to cook in, but you would miss out on the great eateries within Shoal Bay and beyond. It would have been nice if the apartment had a hairdryer. ##### Alf E.

Everything was so clean and new.

The apartment floor was full of sand throughout. Balcony was really dirty. Rubbish bin was not cleared in ensuite bathroom eventhough we were told to take rubbish. We cleaned the floor and emptied the bin ourselves. We had sea view but just slightly..The location was not great but ok Overall neat apartment with nice mordern furnishings and included all needed.. I would say nice. But not clean ##### Gazala S.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After driving 500km over 7 hours we picked up our keys at 6pm and proceeded to apartment. Upon arrival we found that there were no towels or linen or welcome pack!!! Beds were bare (mattress protector and pillows only! not even pillow slips!!! It stated all linen supplied and beds would be made. My wife rang the after hours number several times but it said could not be connected!!! (phone turned off) After a shower using our wet and sandy beach towels we went for a very uncomfortable nights sleep!!!. Next morning we went to the agent (Winnings Nelson Bay) to express our dissatisfaction with the previous night!!! The staff member Karen was extremely rude and insisted my wife had rang the wrong number the previous night as she was on after hours duty with phone!! My wife did not ring the incorrect number as she showed me her phone log. After asking if we would receive a free night or discount she was very annoyed (I was paying $500 a night for this apartment). She said the cleaner would be there ASAP with towels and make the beds. By 11am no one had showed up so rang back! The girl (Jopti) said she would send the cleaner ASAP so we went to the beach for a swim. Upon our return at 1.35pm we found a laundry back placed at our door with lien and towels but beds still not made!!! Rang again 1.45pm and the girl (Leve) said she will ring cleaner and ring me back which she did and said Shaun the cleaner is on his way. Shaun was great and very apologetic and said he left the laundry bag at front door in case we needed towels as he did not have a key to the apartment???.Karen needs to learn some manners and people skills from Shaun the cleaner as he was great!!! Also was sand on dining table and front terrace was filthy and not clean upon arrival. Front terrace fly screen door kept coming off! But a great apartment in a good location but staff could be more cooperative ##### Paul E.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely apartment close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The apartment is modern and clean with nice furnishings. Our family had an enjoyable and comfortable stay. If you like going for bike rides you can even hire some bikes just around the corner. ##### A guest from Hoxton Park, New South Wales ### 8/10 Good #### Corinne, Sydney 20 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication A modern apartment with a view of the water. We stayed with our 2 kids and was very spacious and kid friendly. It had great secure parking and lift access plus walking distance to shops and beach. There was only minimal washing detergent, soaps etc (enough for a weekend stay only) Overall we would stay again. ##### Corinne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ## 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) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.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) > > [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) > > [BLUESEA Montevista Hawai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Hotel-Blue-Sea-Montevista-Hawai.h1229810.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.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) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Ionian Trilogy Luxury Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kefalonia-Hotels-Ionian-Trilogy-Luxury-Villas.h53888089.Hotel-Information) > > [Parque Santiago 2 apartment number 410 sea view](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arona-Hotels-Playa-Las-Americas-Apartamento-Com-Vista-Para-O-Mar-No-Parque-Santiago-2.h27446232.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) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.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) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.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) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/yhz/london-to-halifax) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Entebbe (EBB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ebb/london-to-entebbe)
