Shoal Bay Beach Apartments, Unit 6/2 Shoal Bay Road

Review of 6/2 Shoal Bay Road

A lovely unit, well presented and in a good location, only a short walk to the beach along a bush path. It's a bit farther to Shoal Bay shops, but still walkable if you want to.

The unit was well stocked, although there were a few quirks, eg, no bath mat, which is a potential slip hazard on the tiled floor; soap was hard to find; no cover on one bedside lamp.

Unfortunately, the online check-in process was not good. One page asks for photo ID with a choice to scan something. I tried this multiple times, but nothing happened. I had to restart the process about 8 times before it suddenly worked - very frustrating.

Overall, though, we had a good time. We would stay again and would recommend it to others.

Excellent Shoal Bay Holiday Accommodation

Clean and well maintained, very quiet inside the unit so you don’t hear the passing traffic along Shoal Bay Road, good access from
carpark, blockout blinds in the bedroom and main living area, easy access to the beach, short flat walk to shops. Perfect for a recent stay with our 7 month old baby. Would recommend for a couple, small family or up to 4 adults.

Shoal Bay Apartment

Our stay was enjoyable with easy access to the beach at the end of the street and a short walk into Shoal Bay shops. The linin on the bed seemed too small for the bed and also the hot water in the shower continued to cut out which made in very hard to conserve water as requested as you had to wait until the hot water came back on to finish your shower, unless you like ice cold showers. Other than that I could not fault the property.

Great weekend getaway

The property was lovely!
Its located close to everything, & walking distance to the beach.
The apartment was big enough for 2 of us and had everything we needed! The only downsides were the traffic in the morning as its on a busy road, but once you shut the doors you can hardly hear it so that's only a minor flaw and the pool was unavailable but totally understand with having to be Covid Safe! We enjoyed our stay! :)

Quick getaway

Our stay at Shoal Bay beach apartments was fantastic. Location was perfect. Apartment was absolutely amazing. Clean, well equipped. We loved that we had a courtyard, if only the weather was nicer so we could use it more. Would absolutely request to stay in this apartment again when next in Shoal Bay and will definitely recommend to my family and friends.

Nice location but over all not worth $465 2 nights

No toilet paper, no hand soap and no dishwashing liquid to wash any dishes. One towel to share between two. Not worth $465 for 2 nights

Good Location, Quiet and Clean

The apartment was clean, modern and bright, the appliances were adequate and all functioned well. The property could do with fans in the bedroom and living room, as this would assist in keeping cool, without having to use the aircon so much. The bedroom gets quiet hot without the aircon running overnight. Upon arrival we noticed that the bedroom seemed a bit damp, but this could have been due to the fresh linen on the bed, perhaps not being entirely dry, by the next morning the dampness has disappeared. We didn’t use the washing machine or dryer, but when looking for the iron we noticed that the laundry had quiet a bad smell to it, as if someone had left a wet towel in the washer for a few days, it really needs to be aired out/or draino in the sink. There was also sand in the wardrobe from the beach umbrella from previous use. Overall it is a nice and clean place to stay, with a modern/beach decor. The building is quiet and in a good proximity to Nelson, Fingal and Salamander bays.

Apartment served the main purpose

The apartment looks somewhat larger on the pictures. It can handle four, however, anyone staying with four persons for more than one night might be better off bringing an inflatable mattress to prevent back pain. While basic kitchen ware and cutlery are present, they are not really intended for cooking. A sharp knife that one can chop veggies with would make a welcome addition. There are no fly screens so keeping sliding doors open overnight - for those that don't mind doing so on the ground floor - comes with an invitation to mozzies. Else, Nelson's Bay is beautiful and the apartment ideally located to Mount Tomaree, Little Beach and the Native Flora Gardens on foot.
