The Location- This apartment is well-positioned in a child-friendly cul-de-sac adjacent to an extensive bushland reserve providing leafy views to the north and with a natural soundtrack of captivating birdsong and, tide dependent, gentle waves washing into shore. Perfectly situated with direct walking access to Shoal Bay Beach (100m) and Little Beach (300m), arguably two of the best beaches that Port Stephens has to offer. You are also within walking distance of the Little Beach Lighthouse only 800m from the apartment offering panoramic bay views whilst you enjoy afternoon tea at the tearooms. Little Beach offers safe swimming, shaded grassed areas, BBQ's, picnic tables and a playground.

There is also a cafe and a bar where you can enjoy a drink with friends whilst watching the sunset. For something more informal, try the Wests Club which is only 800m from the apartment. Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay area are a short 2km drive.

A great spot to get away for a couple of days, close to everything. The beach is great and the Little Beach Boathouse Restaurant is superb.
We are grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community.

We love the Intrepid Close location which is minutes to the beach, walking distance to both Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay and located next to the most beautiful park, full of birds. The apartment is compact but good for up to four adults. The bathroom is great with a separate toilet. Two verandahs provide a place to BBQ, hanging beach towels and sitting outside without all the mess around. The kitchen is really well equipped. My only criticism is the outdoor chairs are uncomfortable and there isn't enough seating for 4 people to sit inside without sitting on top of each other. Also a few more dining chairs would be good to have some people over. Having said this we are booked to stay again next year.`
Hi Kathy, Thank you for this wonderful and honest review! We really appreciate the feedback and we will let management know of your suggestions!

Fabulous stay - highly recommended. Hope to stay again. looking forward to staying again. Clean, fresh, everything you could want. Stylishly appointed. Great location between Nelson Bay and Shoal bay. Great walks near-by. The only down-side - We would have liked a more comfortable mattress for our 7 night stay..thin lumpy and very uncomfortable. -Ok for a couple of nights (and we are quite smaller than average people). Also, a fly screen on the bathroom is warranted esp without an exhaust fan. The refurbishment apart from these two things is very stylish.
Hi Trish, We are thankful for your time and your willingness to write a review to let us know how we are doing. Thank you for providing us with the feedback about our mattress. To give you an update, we have upgraded to a 'medium hard' mattress and ensured all of our other mattresses on the property were at the same dreamy comfort level. Your feedback has improved our service and we hope to see you again soon!
