June Long Weekend Getaway!

Great location to just chill out & relax!! The cottage was just delightful and cozy, a home away from home. Close to the water with a nice stroll to the corner shops. Awesome that it is pet friendly, Pablo absolutely loved the walks along the waters edge and the massive yard to run around in. Very friendly neighborhood. If you’re looking for a peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle, this is your spot!!

Port Stephens stay

The property was pleasant, clean & tidy and bed was really comfy. Whilst the house was a very pleasant with mostnthings at the usual standard we have come to expect from Stayz, I would make a.couple of suggestions for this property. All other properties where we have stayed had a pantry system. Use what you need, plus add to it when you stay. Very convenient for the odd item eg flour, honey etc etc I always add more than I use. I would strongly suggest some additional TV viewing available. I have health issues and was unable to get out. Netflix or the like is low cost and would add.to the stay if house bound, as I was. A.little cheap to not have any streamed services. Please improve the lighting in the kitchen as you CANNOT see anything with current lights. Could not us backyard as drainage so poor, could not let puppy or myself use it at all. Sally and Josè

Perfect Position Homely Cottage

We loved our stay here, ideal location, very homely feel cottage, perfect size for a family of 4, nice quiet street, well fenced yard perfect for dogs, our dog loved it and the off leash park at the end of the street was perfect. the enclosed verandah was great. Agent was very responsive to request. Just needs a BBQ and a dryer to be the prefect stay!

A Great Location and Holiday Facility

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property we stayed at was a nicely decorated older style home, the type we love. It had all of the amenities we needed to make out time there at Lemon Tree Passage a comfortable and homely experience.The only down side was that the house didn't have air conditioning, just fans and the ventilation was a problem as we could not open windows to allow airflow through the bedrooms and the lounge.We would probably use that same property again in the future if the air conditioning situation was resolved, otherwise, I'll more likely find a place that has air-conditioning.
