Only downside was that the glass ceiling above the stairs did leak when it rained. None of my gear was damaged, however would be best if it was repaired to prevent any damage to the property. Thanks for having us!

Perfect Location, yes! Perfect Property, if you don’t look too closely!
Booking this apartment was the most convoluted process I have ever experienced involving three different entities (Stayz/Escapia/Stay Port Stephens). Making the booking required a 50% up-front payment, a $1,000 deposit (refunded after the stay) and the completion of a guest agreement that needed confirmation of the age of all guests and the upload of an image of a credit card which was challenged when I provided a redacted image (to protect my security). The arrival and departure procedures involved multi-step processes to unlock one box, to access another to then gain access to the apartment. The unit itself was presentable and has recently been painted throughout and new blinds installed. You don't need to look too hard before the cracks start to show. This may have been a luxury apartment when it was built some 24 years ago, however the kitchen and bathrooms are showing signs of their advanced age, the showers both leak and result in a river of water running into the middle of the bathroom floors. The kitchen appliances are worn and there isn't a matching set of crockery, cutlery or glassware, just the remains of previous sets. The apartment would benefit from a deep clean. The rooftop terrace was a complete let down. The BBQ was barely clean, the sun beds are disintegrating and the spa is so old with broken grills and jets that it needs to be replaced. All of these things are unacceptable especially when this apartment is being marketed as 'luxury accommodation'.

Girls getaway
The outdoor are was quite dirty. There was a chipped coffee cup in cupboard. The carpet needs a good wash. There was not enough toilet paper supplied for 8 people. We had less than full rolls in bathrooms and only one spare. The shampoo and conditioner dispensers were all but empty. The cover over spa filter came off when the spa was turned on.

What a let down!
This unit was in good location. But that is it! The unit was dirty. Bathrooms were full of mould . The ceiling in main bathroom was covered in mould. The shower leaked into hall way & wet the carpet.there was no remote for TV in the main bedroom. No blind in the ensuite & still hair on the floor in the shower & near the toilet from previous users. The second bedroom blind was broken. The sliding doors wouldn’t lock. They were broken. The spa area was filthy. Rubbish & mould everywhere . Lounging & cushions were dirty. Then to top it off we had to strip the beds before we left. . Never in all my travels had we had to do this p, especially after paying a service cleaning fee. My advice is to steer clear of this place. Plenty of other options nicer, cleaner & better pricing. The owners of this property need to step up & fix these issues & give this unit some TLC ! I’d like to add photos to this review, but no option!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unsatisfactory! Blinds dusty and didn’t work! SPA DIDNT WORK PROPERLY! Verandas dirty, gave us black feet, cigarette butts... just grotty in general.. had a spa man turn up 10:30 in morning don’t know why the water wasn’t changed and spa not functioning properly.... On arrival no keys in letter box had to wait 40min for a woman to come to let us in.... REDICULOUS $2,400 for 3 nights on a intersection roundabout traffic noise was insane...

Plenty of space so the 5 of us never felt on top of one another. Check in & out detail & instructions easy to follow. Everything you need of great family holiday.Some minor repairs required due to the age of the building but it didn't affect our stay at all. Clean, tidy & what was advertised would definitely stay again.
