Fantastic view and location
Right in front of a stunning beach with the most incredible view from the lounge, balcony and main bedroom, this apartment was clean and tidy and had everything we needed, close to both shoal bay and Nelson bay for cafes and restaurants. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Relaxing picturesque apartment
Everything was good but we would have preferred being told upfront before booking that linen is not provided. As this adds to the original price.

Good location, plenty parking. Unfortunately, at night we heard a humming sound; couldn't locate the source, it stopped around 1 or 2 am. Not good for light sleepers! Missed noticing it wasn't air conditioned so summer months could be uncomfortable.
