Arabella
A very comfortable home for our beach holiday. Arabella is a short walk to a great family beach and you can follow the coastal path all the way to the CBD of Nelson Bay. The house is beautifully presented and we would definitely stay there again.

The property is very well maintained & clean. Furniture, fixtures & aplliances are very good quality. The only thing we think can be improved is the wifi quality. The signal was not very strong it didn't even work in the room downstair.
