About this property

Horizons Retreat

  • This refurbished villa is set amongst the trees overlooking Horizons Golf Course, the championship par 72, 18-hole golf course designed by Graham Marsh and Ross Watson. Here, you get to be away from the crowds, yet just 10 minutes by car to Port Stephens beautiful beaches and Nelson Bay's boutique shops, restaurants and marina, where dolphin watch cruises depart daily. This stylish villa is also just over 2km to Salamander Bay Shopping Centre.

    This cosy, welcoming villa is perfect for a golfing getaway or a holiday with friends or family. Relax out on the patio after a game of golf and watch the sun go down over the greens. You may even see some of the local kangaroos.

    The open plan, air-conditioned living room features a flat screen TV, dining table and kitchen with a microwave, cooktop and full fridge. There are 2 bedrooms, one with 2 King Single beds and 1 with 1 King Bed (which can be split into 2 x King Single Beds) and two ensuites, each with a combined spa bath and shower. You also have access to an external shared laundry with washer and dryer and one off-street car space.

    Please be aware that if you require the King Bed to be split into two King Singles an additional fee of $20 applies.

The check in process is the worse possible imaginable. The place was very dirty

Disgusting process of charging for Visa card charges especially when there is no T&C provided. It is unethical and illegal way of conducting business. Never again Why on earth do you need drivers license and the credit card details for the process of bond.

Unbelievable Extreme Filth!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I took videos and photos of which I sent to the booking office.I have never seen such disgusting filth in all my life, how your representatives handed over a rental key to this filthy slum pit bewilders me! The fact it was the June long weekend and we had just driven 700 kilometres to get there with all other accommodation booked out meant we had no other choice but to stay overnight. Bath and bathroom tiles covered in thick black grime to the point running water had made channels down through the grime down the shower walls , water jests and filter in bath covered in dark brown/orange scum as with shower curtain. Multiple black water level rings in bath. Garbage bin had thick dried (coke?) in the bottom, cupboards and China dirty, plug didn’t fit kitchen sink, heater not working as chocked with mountains of thick dirt. Queen Dunner covers not washed from previous clients, mounds of thick dirt/fluff on bedside tables. It took days and multiple phone calls before anyone from the office called me back in relation/acknowledgment to this horrendous situation, I demanded and received a full refund. Booking was for 2 nights, $224.00 per night, we were gone by 8am next morning. Only that there was a clean garbage liner in the kitchen bin you would believe a homeless squatter may have been living there for years undisturbed. Ha! And, we had to make our own beds which was apparently in the small print, all for $224.00 a night! I have videos and photos to certify my statements!

Average - lack of attention to detail

Summary: An ok place to stay but short on details and servicing Smoke alarm battery was failing and beeping constantly - after a request, it was serviced the next day Clock was not working (another battery issue) Microwave plate for rotating base was missing There were no saucers for the cups There was a request to empty the dishwasher, but there was no dishwasher Take a block of soap as the tiny bar provided was inadequete. Procedure for collecting and returning keys was a little inconvenient
