Great Holiday Home for a Large Group

Paul | 16th March 2025
5/5

A really enjoyable stay! This was a wonderful house for our large family group of 11 people. It has plenty of space, lots of facilities, is well appointed and has good on-site parking. We particularly liked that the four main bedrooms all had ensuites and that the two smaller (kids) rooms shared the main bathroom. The pool was a real hit with the kids! The house is also a very short, easy walk to the beautiful Salamander Bay shoreline.

Hi Paul, thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that the house was the perfect fit for your large family group. It’s great that everyone had their own space with the ensuites, and we’re glad the kids enjoyed the pool! The easy access to Salamander Bay shoreline is definitely one of the highlights, and it’s wonderful to know your family made the most of it. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon! McGrath Port Stephens

Nice large house

The house was very clean and tidy, would be very happy to stay there again. Only criticism was that the pool was not very clean

Reply 6th March 2025

Hi David, Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness and tidiness of the property. It’s indeed a wonderful spot for large families, and the water views from the front balcony are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the afternoon. We’re sorry to hear the pool wasn’t as clean as you expected. Had we known, we would have been more than happy to come by and address it right away. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Best regards, McGrath Port Stephens

Excellent house, true luxury

The house in enormous, plenty of room, the kitchen is well furnished. Spacious rooms with big and comfortable beds. Huge TVs in the living room and in most bedrooms Good quality wi-fi, works well. The pool is big and shady. A few issues that could be improved: - there were not enough glasses of any type (wine, champagne, water) for 10 people - one of the DVD (Blue Ray) players is not working - shower mats would be useful for security - the garden needs more frequent cleaning

Great accomodation

We had a most enjoyable stay. A surprising large and spacious home with 6 bedrooms and most had ensuites, so it easily catered for us all (13 guests). There were just a couple of issues - when we arrived none of the tv’s had signal, but after a call to the agent they were fixed and a bright strobing pool light kept flashing throughout the night (couldn’t locate a switch to turn it off). A couple of things weren’t clean (dishwasher,oven, bbq) but apart from that it was a truly wonderful getaway.

Excellent house, true luxury, five stars

Amazing Stay

This house was amazing, and met all our needs in a holiday house. The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable and large. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was great although could have been a little warmer. The location was just across the road from the water which great for the small kids. There was ample parking for five cars, and was close to the shops. I’ll definitely book this house again.

Perfect family getaway

Graham | 30th March 2022
5/5

We had a whole family getaway including 3 kids (8mths to 2 yrs) and this house was perfect. It was exactly like it's pictures. It wasn't overly crowded with things, & we didn't have to move things to make the house child-proof. Having a baby gate at the top of the stairs, and a couple of high chairs available, was fabulous. The house had all we needed for a wet weekend in. A great kitchen, good parking, big TV, and the pool (despite the weather). Will happily stay again!

Can't wait to come back

Perfect is all I can say. Group of 8 girls and it was amazing. This house is huge and offered us plenty of space. The location is fabulous. Small shopping strip very close, beach just across the road, choices for food with the cheeky dog and Bannisters just up the road and the Sailing Club hidden away from view from the road. Coffee is good as is the view. We walked along the coast to Nelson Bay, stunning scenery. We also got The Bay Butler to supply us with meals which I would highly recommend.

Enjoyable getaway

Great size for family gathering, with the ability to have good seperate space apart. Pool had easy access for people with special needs and the older person. Good area for parking for all guests. Well stocked house with all kitchen needs catered for

Beautiful and exceptionally large property, perfect for big groups

We had an amazing stay at Dolphin Lagoon. The property is so much bigger than it looks in the pics and there was plenty of room for our whole family. The pool is great and having two kitchens was great when kids were up early. All the details have been thought of and the kitchens are very well stocked with everything you could need. The location is perfect with close access to the beach and not far from many local activities. We can't wait to return. It was the best family holiday we have had!
