    Clean & Comfortable plus Convenient Location…
    5 / 5
    From the friendly & welcoming Reception staff through to the cheery house-keeping staff, we found our stay both comfortable and relaxing. Our room was spacious and comfortable - and very quiet. Walking distance to the beach, local shops and restaurants and bars meant parking the car in the undercover car park and forgetting about it for the whole weekend.…

    Perfect property close to the beach…
    5 / 5
    We loved 3 Ambelside as a perfect location and well appointed townhouse very close to Shoal Bay Beach. We were pleasantly surprised by how well appointed the accommodation was for cooking and storage, great TV and NBN fast broadband. A small but very efficient BBQ upstairs on deck and another downstairs (didnt use). Full gas bottles and spares, even tissue boxes in all bedrooms - many nice extra touches beyond what we expect from 20 years of staying at Shoal Bay. Owners should be very proud and O’Meara Properties were great to deal with for keys etc.…
