Sienna, 27a Christmas Bush Avenue – Duplex with aircon, wi-fi and close to Dutchie’s Beach

This was our second stay at this lovely laid out and conveniently located townhouse. Perfect set up for the 5 of us including plenty of room for the kids if the weather isn't great. Dealing with the responsive staff at McGrath always makes the process easy.

I don't want to leave a review, given that this is such a great place (we have stayed there three times now), and it might get more and more Bookings! In all seriousness, this is a fantastic house, however please note that there are internal steps (with handrails) up to the living area/kitchen/master bedroom for those who may find steps difficult. Close to town, Dutchies Beach, very clean and well equipped. It has a double garage, with room for a small runabout on a trailer (max ~2 m high).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sienna again. It has everything we could wish for in our regular stays in Nelson Bay. Two minor down sides this time was the state of the Weber BBQ which took quite a bit of cleaning so it could be used and a large pan that was left in the kitchen drawer in a dirty state. Apart from that we had a great time in the unit and would recommend it to anyone.

We have been staying at this house for approx ten years. It is close to the beach, shops and marina. The house has all amenities required. New mattresses were a plus. Would love to see ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms to help cool the rooms on those humid days.

Absolutely fantastic 3 br duplex in a prime location, close to Nelson Bay town and Dutchman's Beach. Master bedroom (with ensuite and WIR) is upstairs with well equipped kitchen, large living area and covered balcony, with two good sized bedrooms, bathroom/toilet and laundry downstairs. There is a also a two car garage. The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped, including good wi-fi. All in all a great stay, and the best that we have found in our several stays in Port Stephens.

We have been staying at this property for a number of years now. It is in a great location. Close to the water and town. Very good emenities and has all the items you need in a house. Only negative is that we think it is time for some new mattresses ! A smart TV would be great too 👍

Downstairs is 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and laundry. Clean and tidy and spacious. The bathroom doesn't have a window so it doesn't get fresh air, also the exhaust fan for the bathroom is not strong so the wet dog smell from the bathroom becomes overwhelming at times. To overcome just leave the light/fan on and the door open. Upstairs is a main bedroom and ensure, kitchen lounge and dining and balcony. Very well stocked kitchen. Linen press downstairs has plenty of spare games, DVDs, blanke

My parents and I enjoyed our stay at Sienna. The layout gave space and privacy for all. The house has also had a spruce up since the photos were taken with a new kitchen finish and new outdoor furniture. The location is great and and an off season stay offered great value for money.

We loved our stay in "Sienna", well layed out and brand new well equipped kitchen. Great outdoor dining area with BBQ and secure parking with internally access. Conveniently situated close to Dutchies Beach and the main shopping precinct of Nelson Bay. Just bring your towels, bed sheets and tea towels and you are set to go!

We booked this accomodation on short notice and could not have had a smoother experience, the real estate were fantastic and offered out of ours key collection which was handy, the property itself was spacious and super comfortable just perfect for our family and friends for the weekend and only 2 minutes to the centre of town and marina . Thanks guys for a wonderful weekend

Lovely place to stay, easy walk to Marina or to beach for swim, great balcony, comfortable furniture, well stocked kitchen Tv sound was not the best, would be great to have an extra Tv downstairs for the kids

We have been in 27A a number of times and it always a pleasure. The owners are looking after he place and updates it now and then. Love to come back. the only thing we think needs to be attended to is that there are cockroaches in most rooms , especially the kitchen and the bathroom upstairs. We have never had an issue previous years but last week they really let us know they run the place. rgds birger

Very Nice, clean and comfortable place. excelend location and great for kids. we will be back.

We stayed with two families, so the highlight for us was the spacious and airy communal areas (kitchen, lounge room, front deck). The massive couch and the free wi-fi are a real bonus. We had a BBQ most nights and ate outside regularly. The kitchen is really well-appointed. All bedding was clean, and there was a lot of variety as far as doonas, blankets, pillows, etc. The location is great: close to Dutchies beach, close to the walking tracks, and not too far from Nelson Bay itself. The only downside for us is how close the entertaining area of the neighbouring property is located (which is only an issue, of course, if you happen to strike some late-night partying, as we did.) We will definitely stay again.

It is only a minutes walk to Dutchies Beach which has a playground and the walking & bike path nearby. It was disappointing to see very dirty grout in the tiled areas especially in the kitchen and ensuite, it made the place feel unclean but on the positive, the carpet is brand new. Ceiling fans wouldn't go astray in rooms but portable fans did a good job. Nelson Bay is a beautiful town; everyone is relaxed!

Thoroughly enjoyed staying here! House is perfect for a family, spacious, clean, comfortable, has all the necessities- home away from home. Was close to beach, marina, shops. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful luxurious family weekend together.

Excellent location, within walking distance to the marina and the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and the living room was very spacious and comfortable. However, the accommodation lacked the little extras that make your stay more comfortable. The downstairs is very musty so not great for people with allegies. We couldnt use the cupboards to put our belongings in as they were musty, with one of the spare pillows growing mould in the cupboard. The pull out trundle also appeared to have mould on it. There is minimal yard to play in so it would not be great for families with small or active children. I would not stay there again as the accomodation didnt meet our needs, however the agency were very friendly and helpful.

We were impressed with how clean, roomy and comfy the apartment was. Easily accommodated 7 people. Nice balcony for our family BBQ. Large airy rooms, Beds were comfy. Lots of utensils and cutlery/crockery/cooking pots/pans. Close to the beach...and plenty of places to walk, such as the marina, shops and ice cream shop!!

Nice comfortable quiet place with everything that you would need, close to beach and not far from the town area and marina. Cleanliness was very good only thing I could fault that the stove could use some attention. Overall great place.

The house is clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. Everything is in walking distance with the town centre a 10 min walk away and Dutchies Beach a 1min walk away. The duplex is modern with a lovely relaxed feel and has everything that you would need. I highly recommend this lovely holiday duplex - we will be back!

Very pleased with this property. Well equipped and everything working. Clean and in good condition with nice beds. We will be back.

One of the most relaxing attributes of this property is that every ground floor door can be deadlocked. So if you have a wondering toddler you can be sure they can let them selves out.

We loved our stay at this property. It is clean, spacious, very well equipped, nice furniture in the living area and 2 minutes walk to beautiful Dutchies beach. It's perfect for families as it feels like home away from home. We would be happy to stay at this property again.

The beds were comfortable and the property is well equipped and clean. We love the easy access to the beach and Nelson Bay shops, eateries and activities. We will definitely be back!

We have had a wonderful holiday in this house. It is close to the beach and very clean and comfortable. My only criticism is the door closer from the garage drove us mad when we loading and unloading as there did not appear to be anyway to keep it open. It also bangs shut. Also although not critical a laundry basket would have been useful to take clothes to the clothesline. However overall it was great and we have booked again for next year.
