    Loved the general ambience and quirky decor. Great that there were a few different seating spots on balconies and a courtyard. The spa was a great plus especially as the weather was less than optimum (though we don't hold Lynne responsible) :)

    Unfortunately there was an electrical blackout in the street which we were not notified of in advance so when we woke in the morning there was no power for the day. Not sure if the property owner was advised of this in advance, typically if works are occurring residents are notified, however this may not have been the case in this instant.

    The property was clean, well presented and comfortable. There were plenty of windows which we could open to take advantage of the lovely sea breeze. It was centrally located, close to a path that meanders around the headland into Nelson Bay.

    The TV reception was terrible, could do with having Foxtel, the lighter to light the Fire was out of Gas, and the paper to light the fire was not good for lighting a fire.

    good size Spa bath, open Fire was lovely, Bed was Comfortable, and the property was Clean, and we liked the position close to everything.

    Every piece of cutlery in the kitchen was dirty upon arrival. It was ironic as there was a sign on the fridge saying, if you leave any utensils out uncleaned, we will charge you $50. The air conditioner also made a loud banging noise every 20 minutes which made it impossible to sleep.

    Amazing location

    Arriving to a freezing cold apartment, having to go out in the rain to source firewood as there was not enough supply inside to initially start the fire. Arrived around 7pm in pouring rain to no lighting to find apartment, very slippery and large step not visible in the dark, solar lighting not working. Air-conditioning instructions weren't clear, so we froze for the first night. Followed instructions, it was stated that unit was already set on heating and to just turn it on, in which we did to only have cold air blowing all night. Outdoor BBQ area light didn't work, bedroom light didn't work, stereo didn't work, once heating worked it rattled and clunked every time it cut in. Could hear guests/chair movements from above unit.

    Cinderella slipper is not the best for more advanced aged people. staircase is narrow and very twisty. either of the two lower apartments would be more suitable. Building has recently been damaged by rain and storms which gave it a musty smell. Air conditioner needs a good clean as there is mould on the flap which is evident when switched on. Not exactly what we were expecting from the description.

    beautiful area, not far from Dutchies Beach. a nice walk to the Marina for either a morning walk and breakfast, or lunch.

    The property was clean but uncomfortable because of the heat, the air con is old and insufficient on hot days. We didn't sleep well because we were just so hot. For the price of the one night stay, you would expect to be cool on a hot day with appropriate fans/air con.

    The owner had excellent communication, thank you.

    We pulled up and it said Wisteria Cottage, not the listing name. the interior was clean but the decor was confusing-a mix of 80s, Chabby- chic, bachelor pad and old Aunt Edna’s. The lounge and outdoor furniture was very uncomfortable. we were there on a windy night and the doors to balcony banged in the wind, even with all the locks secured. There was no clear checkout process so we just left the key on the coffee table with the door unlocked.

    The location was great. Not too far from beach, nature trail, shops, restaurants. The bathroom was roomy, with good water pressure. The bed and pillows were obviously newer and made for a good sleep. Having the Balcony was a great feature.
