    No kindling for fire was a little difficult to keep going at first due to damp wood as well but was lovely once i used fire lighters. Bright neon light outfront turned on late 9ish and didn't turn off till 2.30am so hard to see the step down when we got back from dinner to get out of spa to bright lights I thought someone was stealing my car so ran outside in towel to realise it was the lights (poor neighbours).😄 Tv no channels and had to hotspot phone for anything at all couldn't even log my Netflix due to last user still logged in. Little over cluttered with nic naks n dif col walls but each to there own taste. Blinds needed on back glass door and dinning area for privacy. And last but worst the toilet behind the door I was nearly knocked out unconscious by my partner opening the door when I was going to sit on toilet.

    Was extremely relaxing sitting by fireplace and having a spa. Everything you need for a nice weekend away.awesome outdoor verandah for morning cuppa coffee. Great temp set for aircon took chill out of the house. Great view from spa. Would love to bring family n have the whole place open I have adult children. Very clean n tidy nice n quiet. Thankyou for letting us stay there please don't take the next part as bad as it wasn't just a few little things that would make things better

    That I couldn’t stay longer.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my two night stay here. It was rainy but that didn’t bother me as the cottage was so cosy and well equiped, I enjoyed a beautiful day in. When the rain stopped the centre and beach were close by and I enjoyed my time out. Lynne was very helpful and lovely to deal with.

    The place had a cleaners smell, the veranda had sign it's broken and bathroom being visible from downstairs. Parking was unnecessarily taken by different cars.

    Awesome location, spacious and homely feeling. The paintings are awesome.and character of the place.

    Kitchen comes with every crockery, cutlery, utensils and glasses you may need. However there is only a small microwave and electric fry pan. The unit could benefit from a small benchtop oven and hot plates, to make cooking perfection.

    Character filled accommodation! Very very comfortable bed. The outdoor spa room was a lovely surprise!! 😄 Very clean and tidy, a credit to management. The loft bed was cosy and adorned with nice decorations and lamps. The spiral staircase felt like in a cool lighthouse! Comfy sofa and t.v -no wifi. Courtyard was delightful, sadly for us the weather was terrible, but looking forward to our next stay. A romantic place for a couple. 😉

    Nothing! Just maybe a fan for these really hot days to save using the air conditioner, but this is not a big deal :-)

    Have stayed at this property many times over the past several years and have loved the place each and every time. So comfortable, welcoming, lovely bay windows, loads of natural light, fabulous view, well equipped for everything you need. A lovely host, a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival, a great location - just far enough away from the crowds, and close enough to walk to a restaurant, with Dutchies Beach just across the road for swims. Perfect!

    The steep spiral staircase to the bedroom: while it’s charming, it’s difficult to navigate - especially at night if you need to pee. The sun did stream in very brightly through the windows in the morning, even though they strategically placed a room divider screen in front of it, there was no escaping that intense light!

    We stayed in the Fairy House. Spacious, comfortable bed, comfy love seat sized couch, fireplace, exterior spa room that we didn’t use, and kitchenette. Right across the street is a public walkway to a path leading to great beaches all along the Bay.

    Just be aware, we stayed in lovely cindarella slipper apartment, there are stairs. Fine for us, but there is a ground apartment too.

    Lovely suburban area, very homey, beautiful colorful detailed apartment. Feel the love when you walk in! There were cute windows on all sides, with beautiful breezes and views in upper apartment. And lovely covered deck for 2 people, with a bbq!!

    Nothing bad, really

    Unbelievably nice, lovingly decorated, well equipped. As a single male traveller of 68 I thoroughly enjoyed the upper floor „Cinderella Slippers“ ! Very private, nice livingroom with (partly) seaviews, nice bedroom, bath etc. The owner-lady Lynn put a wonderful personal touch to this place, … so I extended my stay ! Btw: opposite this place is a secret public walkway down to a pretty (private) beach called Dutchman‘s Beach !BEAUTIFUL ! Folks ! - book this place for your wonderful stay ! Honestly: perfect ! I had a look at the other two apartments: as well marvelous! Every one of them highly recommendable!

    The windows were a feature to the room. Which was nice, Unfortunately it meant the sun coming up made it quite bright coming through. It was hard to sleep in a bright room. Also the special staircase was a bit hard going to the loo in the dark.

    The owner was very lovely, and did everything she could to ensure we enjoyed the stay. The bed was comfortable, the room was cute and cosy.

    No complaints at all.

    The Tinkerbell cottage is a quaint little cottage with a lovely beach cottage vibe. Reminded me of holiday homes I stayed in as a kid. Everything you need is there. Located right near the water and a picturesque walk into the heart of Nelson Bay. The host was fantastic, there had been a problem with our original room as the spa wasn't working and she upgraded us to the Tinkerbell cottage without fuss so that we still had a spa. I loved the quirky decorating - it really added to the feel of the cottage. Superb location - we will definitely stay again.

    Too many things to break. I couldn’t hold the window open in the bathroom for cool air while enjoying the hot spa.

    It was exceptionally clean and exactly where we needed to be in the area. The bed was extremely comfortable and we got to enjoy a beautiful and relaxing spa bath.

    Shower head needs replacing. Water came out as a fine mist that was piercing on the skin. And possibly a full length mirror.

    We stayed in the "Fairy House". Private, cosy, comfortable feel with open fireplace, loft bedroom via spiral staircase and enclosed spa room just outside in courtyard. Lovely garden. Plenty of firewood available. Some may suggest an update on the decor is needed, but I think it adds a bit of character and makes it feel more homely. Would definitely stay here again.
