  a guest from Surry Hills, NSW recommends this vacation rental

  The property was spacious, well maintained and in a great location. It is only a small wall to the hub of Shoal Bay. We went and played golf at Nelson Bay Golf Course, which is always in great condition. The only blemish over the stay was that we could not go to Shoal Bay Country Club due to the long queues that were outside it to take in the local culture of having a few ales and seeing how the locals are coping with this pandemic.
  Overall, the weekend was great and the accommodation great.
