The Boathouse on the Beach

The Boathouse is located on a much sought-after and exclusive stretch of waterfront at Corlette. The view of the tree-dotted manicured garden reserve, beach and Port Stephens Harbour is simply divine. The picturesque white sandy beach is a calm water harbour beach, ideal for families with little ones. This splendid architecturally-designed duplex takes full advantage of its superb location. The three bedrooms and loft can sleep up to 10 adults and this fabulous beach house is just 5 minutes drive to Nelson Bay’s town centre.

The ground floor consists of the open plan living areas including a kitchen, dining room and lounge room with air-con, TV and a cosy fireplace, which all share the serene sea views, plus there’s a bathroom and a second lounge room with TV. The living areas spill out to the lawn and an undercover patio with a BBQ and outdoor dining setting. Conveniently, there’s an outdoor shower and rack to hold your paddle boards. Running parallel with the beach there’s a pathway through the peaceful, lush reserve, perfect for the kids to ride scooters or bikes along. Or, wander 100m along the path to a waterfront children’s playground and the Peppers-owned Anchorage for seaside dining or pampering yourself at the Anchorage’s renowned day spa. Alternatively, take this delightful coastal path and ride or stroll for 4 km into Nelson Bay’s town centre and famous d’Albora Marina. Dolphins are often spotted from the pretty beach and the kids are sure to relish their time exploring, swimming and playing on the beach and waterfront reserve. Bring your fishing rods, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards and make the most of this tranquil beachside locale.

The upstairs consists of three bedrooms, the loft and a shared bathroom. The palatial master bedroom with King bed has soaring curved timber ceiling, air-con, bar-fridge, TV, ensuite and a private balcony with sun loungers, seating and a birds eye view of the leafy parklands and glistening water. The second bedroom has a queen bed, ceiling fan and panel wall heater. The third bedroom has two king-single beds, a ceiling fan and panel wall heater. The loft is accessed by its own separate staircase and is comprised of a queen bed, king-single bed and a trundle suitable for a child.

The Boat House has a laundry with washer and dryer, free WiFi, a single garage and off-street parking for an additional three vehicles. Upon arrival you’ll discover the beds made and towels for your bathrooms.

  Mike R does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This is a nice house in a great location
  But the standard of cleaning and maintenance is very poor. We had dirty underwear and hair balls left in cupboards from previous stays, food wrappers and other belongings. Bug faeces in the Cutlery drawer, old food in the freezer, dirty plates and glasses in cupboards, dead bugs on the floor. There appears to be no cleaning standards at all. Rusty BBQ plates and mould in the AC unit. Gave feedback Day 1, a couple of issues addressed day 2, most ignored. Also they held the bond for way too long after check out, only released on my emailing again. Poor Management that do not want to hear feedback, and offer no compensation.

  Samuel W from Oak Flats, Nsw recommends this vacation rental

  Was nice and clean although the air con in the main king has mould growing from it and the fly screen was off the side window.

  • Manager Responded on 12/15/2024

    We're glad to hear you found the property nice and clean. However, we sincerely apologize for the issues with the air conditioning and fly screen. This is not the standard we strive to maintain, and we truly appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. We have already scheduled maintenance to address both concerns immediately to ensure they are resolved for future guests. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back in the future to provide an even better experience.

  Jennie S from Killara, NSW recommends this vacation rental

  Our family of 9 had a wonderful stay at Corlette - perfect location (especially with toddlers) and beautiful accommodation. We would love to return. There were just a few amenities missing that might be expected in a holiday house. An outside umbrella so that we could use the outside table on sunny days. A clothes horse and laundry basket so we could dry clothes on a rainy day. Waste baskets in bedrooms/bathrooms upstairs. Serving spoons. All easily rectified... We still had a great holiday and would recommend to others.
