I really enjoyed the location of this property and how close to the beach it is. It was only a 5mins drive to the centre and all the shopping and eating opportunities. The outdoor courtyard was very private and nice to sit in and enjoy to beach air. Definitely planning on visiting again

I loved the ease and convenience of a ground floor villa. The courtyard added to the private vibe and was relaxing. Plenty of tea/ offer and Brekky/ ondents extras in the kitchen cupboard was a welcome addition.

Perfect home base
This home was perfect for our young family. It is walking distance to two beaches, one with a park. Our 3 year old had no problem walking it, I would walk it with an infant in a carrier. Location was perfect for us. The home is very neat and tidy and well appointed. It had everything we needed, everything was easy to find and of good quality. The appliances were excellent - new Bosch oven, cook top and dishwasher made cooking and cleaning quick and easy. The two bedrooms were of a generous size and the beds very comfortable. Having two bathrooms is actually also very convenient for a family. We were super happy with the outdoor area being safe for our kids. Annie is a very thorough and considerate host. The house manual is your guide to Nelson Bay! Very happy with our stay. Thanks so much for having us :)

Comfortable
The house was very comfortable for 4 adults. The seating in the lounge room was tight as the lounge could accommodate only 3 people but we were ok with using dining chairs. Very neat and tidy and kitchen well stocked. Close to 2 beaches and a short drive to eateries. The beaches are not dog friendly which was a bummer for our pup but we drove to other dog friendly beaches.

Tranquil Coastal Escape!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandbar and we left feeling so refreshed and relaxed after just 4 days. It is ideally located with just a short walk to the beaches, the accommodation is spacious and well appointed, and the lounge and the beds were super comfortable! We can't wait to come back and stay.

Perfect little spot!
We loved our stay here! The property was clean, comfortable and just right for an easy stay with our two small dogs. It’s a short walk to the beach or to Little Bay- we discovered lots of picturesque walks just exploring and can’t wait to come back. A 5 minute drive to Nelson Bay meant easy access to the amenities also. Great communication with the owner and ease of check-in too. Our dogs loved their holiday and we had no issues during our stay.

Perfect dog friendly stay!
Annie’s place was everything we needed for a weekend getaway. The house was well equipped and close to everything. The outdoor dining area was a great addition and the dogs had plenty of space to run around in the fully secured yard. Annie checked in from time to time and was very responsive to messages. Highly recommend this affordable accomodation in Nelson Bay.
