Snells Beach Exceptional

We celebrated our 25th anniversary at this delightful property! Communication was fabulous with Shirley. This home was absolutely perfect with all the amenities needed and n the kitchen to prepare our picnic lunches for our trips north. This location provided us with many options for snorkeling at Goats Island, hiking at Whangerie Falls, beach walking at all of the beautiful coastline. We definitely rate this above a five and would return again and again.

November at Snell’s Beach

Very much as represented on VRBO site. Very clean and well organized. Clearly written instructions on how to use appliances etc. Wonderful morning views from the deck - gorgeous sunrises. Kitchen well stocked with all the utensils you might require. Two element stovetop a bit small but useable. Good TV and wireless internet. Comfortable beds. Hosts friendly and accommodating. Would stay here again. We were here for four weeks and enjoyed it completely.

Nicely positioned overlooking the beach!

The unit was nicely positioned overlooking the beach. It was very clean, tidy and well equipped with comfortable seating and bed. We did not do any cooking, but noted the kitchen had everything required for those who want to do so. We really appreciated the Nespresso coffee machine and coffee plunger! Instructions for arrival and leaving were nice and clear. This is important as there were quite a few steps to go through. We stayed in mid-Winter and have already suggested upstairs heating for winter quests.

Lovely apartment gorgeous view

We have traveled extensively and this property was the cleanest we have ever stayed in. Everything was as advertised as well including the wonderful view from the living area. Not only that but the shower was great and the bed comfortable. We were fortunate to meet the owners who were doing a working bee and they were super friendly and welcoming. For the location and quality of the apartment we also felt it was very fairly priced. A genuine 5 star property.
