We went and stayed at Dales house a family for 3 nights to celebrate a 40th birthday. The location is a 10 minute drive fro Hawks Nest, however, the property has a boat ramp and that makes it much easier to access all the attractions, particularly Nelson’s Bay- by boat it is very quick vs driving. Launching the boat needs to occur during high tide, so this should be considered as the tide does go out quite far, however it’s easy to launch at high tide and the ramp is great. Dale was very thoughtful and provided advice on the best things to do locally and also provided some complimentary drinks and snacks. The home is very spacious and comfortable. Waking in the morning to absolute waterfront views is priceless. No hesitation I. Recommending this place to stay and would definitely visit again :)
