This is not my 1st stay here and will not be my last. Absolutely love this place and its location. The unit becomes a home away from home with so many creature comforts and well thought out extras. The location makes it easy to just relax, walk and visit. Until next time.

We have stayed here a number of times, and it just doesn't disappoint. So much thought has gone into all details making it a comfortable stay for adults and kids. It had everything i needed for my kids an entire to be entertained in the unit as well as outside. the proximity to Nelson Bay Marina, makes it an easy stroll for my little ones. And they absolutely love Dutchmans beach.

Great location and stay

My kids and I had a fantastic stay at Dolphin Cove. The unit itself was well thought out and provided everything we needed from, kitchen equipment to some shovels and spades for the kids at the beach. The location is very central to the Marina and walking distance to shops, cafes, and the beach. We will definitely be back to enjoy and explore more. Thank you

We stayed at this very modern and clean apartment for 2 nights. It was the perfect getaway for our family. It was close to all amenities, walking distance to shops, restaurants and marina. I would highly recommend staying at this well appointed apartment. Will definitely be back soon.

Best weekend away

We thoroughly enjoyed our family weekend away. The apartment was so perfectly located close to the shops, marina & restaurants. We did a lovely coastal walk and up to the lighthouse for lunch. The apartment had absolutely everything you could possibly need, and complete sets of wine glasses, utensils…even an electric fry pan! The most comfy beds meant we were well rested and recharged. Highly recommend this apartment.

Fantastic location and set-up

We had a mini family weekend away and the position of the apartment was perfect. Walking distance to the local marina, shops, beaches, short drives to mountain walks and other great spots. The unit itself was a dream. So easy and functional. It's clear a lot of thought has gone into how this would work for 8 people, and it didn't disappoint. We had 2 families - 2 adults and 6 kids. There was plenty to keep them occupied in the rooms with what had been supplied as well as what we brought.

Fantastic unit in great location!

Had a great time staying at this wonderful property. The unit was super clean and had absolutely everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and it was wonderful to sit and enjoy the sea breezes on the balcony. Location was fantastic also - short stroll to the marina, shops, beaches and restaurants. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect escape

Our family had a wonderful time in this beautifully appointed apartment. It is full of thoughtful touches and the location is perfect - walking distance to beaches, the marina and local amenities and shops. We enjoyed beaches, bushwalking, dolphin cruise, sand boarding, fishing and the stingray rescue centre. After these invigorating activities we could return and relax in this wonderful apartment which had everything we needed to unwind and refuel. Would highly recommend.

And exhale

We absolutely loved our stay. The unit is spacious and furnished beautifully - truly felt like a home away from home with everything you could need catered for. The location is great - walking distance from the Marina and town and walking distance to the most gorgeous beach. We loved every second and will return in a heartbeat.
