It was a work trip, it in a great location, and for our needs very close to the boat ramp. Very quiet area so had a great night sleep. Easy walking to the golf club for dinner. Beautifull home for a relaxing stay.

Perfectly picturesque! We stayed at Old Duninald for our wedding weekend, and it was like stepping in to a fairytale. The cottage is beautifully restored, the grounds so lovely and the private bridge and pergola by the water is so charming and peaceful. Julia was a splendid host, great communication and a real joy to chat to. She showed us around her property also and let our toddler feed the chickens, plus her puppy Sophie is gorgeous. Our stay was during a very wet weekend, and being true to farm life, there are lots of little critters that make themselves known outside and inside. Otherwise, you really can’t fault this stay. Would happily recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic property with thoughtful hosts; a wonderful choice for families and kids of all ages. Well maintained amenities and attention to detail made our stay with extended family a delight. The heated pool was a hit - even when it rained - and it was easy to get in and out safely for both the toddler and senior in our group. The wood fire pizza oven is definitely worth cranking for dinner or just to hang in the mini-amphitheatre. The playhouse, car and trampoline kept our little one very entertained. Every room was immaculate and beautifully designed. We were even treated to some local produce courtesy of our host - thanks Lauren! A magical location and very peaceful. Just 10 minutes walk to town and if you’re up for exploring, follow the ‘secret’ track to Wreck beach via the bushland at the rear of the garden. Highly recommend.

Sonja’s place was absolutely perfect. Above and beyond the photos. It was definitely 5 star luxury all the way. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a group getaway. Located five minutes from Nelson bay and a short walk to pristine bays and a dog beach across the road.

This Airbnb was very spacious and clean. Nice homely feel. Comfortable beds. Lovely new bathroom. Open kitchen. Great TV. Wi-Fi a little weak which was hard for my friend who needed to work occasionally. Great big screen TV. The home is surrounded by greenery. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again. Thank-you for offering your home. No trouble with location or with outside noise. Was comfortable and private. We would recommend Ed’s place to friends.

Just returned from a very pleasant 3 night stay at the cottage with my wife and daughter. Glenn is a gracious host and was very helpful with everything. The heritage home and separate cottage is on a beautiful property with a magnificent garden that is lovingly maintained and has some of the luckiest dogs, sheep, chickens and cat you will ever see. The sauna and the fire pit were a joy and a treat. On the drive home my daughter asked if we could go back someday.

Lovely, serene sanctuary. We enjoyed the beautiful views with breakfast on the deck and relaxing in the hot-tub. Cathy and Doug were very friendly hosts, and despite some bad weather conditions, they made sure that amnenities were still accessible. Would love to visit again!
