Big house, greet for multiple families. Good for kids. Fenced back yard for pets. The decor is a bit dated but it was good value for money. Didn’t have wifi but mobile reception was perfect. Easy to check in/out. House had everything we needed.
Location is EXCELLENT, a hundred metres to the little shops / IGA. 10-15min walk or short drive to two amazing beaches. Jimmy’s beach is nice and calm and great for young kids. Bennetts beach has waves but is patrolled. Both beaches stretch as far as you can see. Very picturesque.
Lots of wildlife around; sea eagles, hawks, dingos, dolphins, kangaroos and blue tongue lizards were all spotted during our week long stay. Try hiring one of the Tea Gardens BBQ boats for a lovely day on the water or take the ferry to Nelson’s Bay and back. We saw dolphins both on the ferry and had them swim around our BBQ boat.
I really recommend this place to stay and Hawkes Nest as a great family holiday.
