  This character filled house is a great rental option for families or small groups in a very convenient location- walk to shops, coastal pathway, beach and dog beach. There is spacious off street parking for 3-4 cars, two fully secure outdoor areas for pets, including a private courtyard surrounded by trees and birds with outdoor dining and lounging furniture, A great bonus is the “games area” with pool table and dart board. The kitchen is modern and has really great crockery, cookware and cutlery - no need to bring anything from home. A big modern fridge and family sized oven. The layout of the house works well, with two double bedrooms on ground, one with ensuite plus extra toilet. Upstairs are three more rooms, a study and separate living area with lovely furniture, beanbags and children’s board games/videos. Good ventilation and fly screens, multiple fans provided, as is all linen. There is no air con, which is the one draw back of this great property in very hot or humid weather - otherwise I highly recommend this property and the rental process was easy and without any problems whatsoever. There are many activities in the area - Bagnalls Beach is dog friendly (the best ever !), Dutchies beach and picnic area, walk/cycle way along the coast, the marina for fresh seafood to cook on your own big BBQ back at the house, ice cream, coffee shops, Mt Tomaree walk, Toboggan/fun park right next to the public pool and parklands (4-5 ovals in a row!), golf course, sand dunes, dolphin/whale watching. Friendly town with easy parking and not too much traffic. What are you waiting for !

  a guest from Strathfield, NSW does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The house is spacious and in a quiet area, within walking distance to Nelson Bay shops and Marina.
  The upstairs rooms were good and much cleaner than those downstairs.
  However, certain areas of the house are a little tired and require attention. The downstairs bathroom lock (toilet/sink closest to kitchen) was broken and I cut my arm badly on the first day. The carpets in the two downstairs bedrooms were badly soiled and covered in dog hair. The TV in the downstairs bedroom didn't work. There was also a lot of dog hair under the furniture in the living room, despite the requirement that dogs remain outside. The downstairs bathroom shower was also very mouldy and needed a better clean. The Kitchen drawers also had food spilt in them, which was off-putting when we arrived.

    Hi Alicia, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your comments. We would like to give you an update on this property: The lock issue has been fixed due to your reports, thank you. Our carpet is to be replaced March 2021. Cleaners have been notified about the expectations we at Winnings uphold, and we will no longer be having these issues. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

  On arriving at the house we found that the cleaning had not been done after the previous tenants, so contacted the property management. They organised cleaners who did come within the hour, but we had to vacate the premises for this time.

  • Manager Responded on 10/13/2020

    Hi Carol, Thank you for your feedback on the cleaning schedule. Our systems were down on the date of your stay which is why the room wasn't cleaned properly, however, once notified our cleaners were immediately sent out to fix the issue. Our sincerest apologies about that dilemma. We are glad you enjoyed your stay.
