Reviews of Jetty Beach Splendour Apartment

Super clean and had everything we needed.

Beautiful home, so comfortable and welcoming, ideal location, close to everything and stunning views!. Beds extremely comfy! Loved our stay, thankyou Kathy for providing such lovely accommodation ❤️

I liked the location of the place, it's close enough to walk to get dinner and groceries, yet tucked away on a quiet street off the main area that has the stores, pub, & good selection of restaurants (some of which we tried and liked). Miss Kathy went above and beyond to put fresh bread, butter and jam in our unit. She also spent time with me giving me a rundown of the area, the best hikes/walks to take, the best views, which markets to go to, etc. It was really kind of her and it made my stay really special. The unit has everything you need, is spacious, and there are views to the bay, we loved having breakfast out on the deck at the table set up out there, we even had a ginger cat come and keep us company for some of the meals.

Getting to the door of the unit is down a private slopped driveway and if you happen to be dropping off or picking up bags in your car, it can be a point of contention if the owner of the private drive happens to be returning. I was told that one person ruined it for everyone by using the driveway outside of this requested limitation, such a shame. Either way, there's plenty of street parking and plenty of lighting. The only other thing that was a little concerning is that there are 2 locked doors inside the apartment leading to who knows where? That made me feel a little on edge until I met the owners, who live upstairs, & who made the effort to come and say "hello" (with Miss Kathy being in a wheelchair after an accident, that's what I call a huge effort). What can I say? I'm on edge more for what's in America than what's in Australia. We would absolutely love to stay again, we loved the place, we felt super safe, & it felt like home away from home. Thanks for letting us stay!

Wonderful service from Kathy!

Great location, nice view. Kathy was a great host, although we didn’t physically meet, however she was very accommodating to a couple of my requests.

Such a handy location to dining, cafes and the sea. Beautiful views that you could never tire of. Clean, cosy and homely stay. Welcomed with fresh bread with condiments (and chocolate). Lovely notes to accompany our stay and fresh flowers throughout. The attention to detail is wonderful. Attentive and friendly hosts. No air conditioning but the fans were all we needed plus the ocean breeze.

The property was beautiful, as were the views. Kathy was incredible, and definitely went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after throughout our stay. Would absolutely book again.

Beautiful beach side style home, clean, spacious, bright and great for the young kids. The host was very considerate and accommodating. Kathy and Harvey thought of everything to make our stay very enjoyable. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with a welcome note, wifi details, a fridge stocked with some fresh bread, milk, butter, jam and cereal. Not to mention, they included extra towels, laundry powder, tea and coffee options, a few toys, books, board games and even a baby bath too! All these extra touches make Kathy and Harvey’s home feel very welcoming and comfortable. We loved having all our meals on the porch while looking out at the ocean and watching the sunset. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us- we definitely felt like it was our home away from home! We also loved the location- close to a lot of good cafes and there is a park/ access to Jetty beach (approx 8 mins walk or 2 min drive) which was perfect for young kids. Plenty of other family friendly activities including the botanical gardens, iplay ten pin bowling and the local swimming pool is located about 10 mins drive - it has a small water play area for toddlers and heated indoor and outdoor pools.

The property only has street parking and you need to walk down the driveway to access the property. Kathy and Harvey were very accommodating- they allowed us to park in their drive way while they were away.

Good location

Looking out over the car parking area

Good central location. Well appointed.

Disappointed with our view from the patio.

The home was absolutely stunning and provided all resources we would normally need to purchase such as bread milk, butter, this made our trip more enjoyable to not think so much of the essentials , and enjoy the short vacay.

Location, peace and cleanliness

Absolutely beautiful apartment with an amazing view. Not far from restaurants, cafes and supermarket. Our host Kathy was very accommodating and we loved the homely touches within the apartment, e.g. fresh flowers. Also it was great to arrive late in the afternoon and there was fresh bread, butter, milk and condiments available so we didn’t need to go out shopping straight away. Beautiful deck outside to take in the view. Also loved that there was a washing machine and a line outside to dry clothes on. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom a really good size - also heaps of storage. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

The apartment is a tastefully renovated and reasonably well-equipped granny flat underneath the owners' home. Pedestrian access is via a short but steep driveway with no handrail. There is no onsite parking for the apartment so you need to be fit and able to carry luggage up and down the driveway. Cars from a quite separate house use the driveway and carport in front of the apartment throughout the day. There is also quite a lot of noise overhead from the owners' uncarpeted floors. So it was not as quiet and private as we had hoped. However, the location is excellent - close to a cluster of cafes, restaurants and local shops as well as Jetty Beach. Inside, the apartment is bright and airy, with a good view of Muttonbird Island. It contains most facilities, although not a clothes dryer, which was a problem as we were there in wet, humid weather and the owner was herself using the apartment's clothes line when we arrived. There's no air conditioning (though ceiling fans), which could make for uncomfortable nights in high summer, especially in the back bedroom, which has only a small side window. Instructions inside about the wifi were incorrect but the owner responded promptly to our query. When we arrived after a long day's driving, the front door lock was broken and the tradesman responsible for fixing it had gone off to another job, so we did not start our stay in the best of circumstances. To their credit, once they saw our discomfiture, the owners sped up the repair job so we were able to unpack and settle in within a couple of hours.

The kerfuffle when we arrived - that there appeared to be no urgency about getting the lock fixed (reliance on a family friend for urgent repairs seemed unprofessional), that the internal door was wide open in the second bedroom, and that the owner and a tradesman accessed the apartment via this internal entrance while all this was going on. It was also off-putting to find that the owner was using the apartment's clothes line to dry towels when we arrived. But even when the line was free for us to use, nothing dried out there. The line gets almost no direct sun. The unit needs a clothes dryer. The sheets on in the main bedroom had seen better days.

Wow and wow. What a view. The host was absolutely charming. Little touches in the place was excellent. Bathrooms excellent

A great location - walking distance to restaurants, pier , supermarket. Comfortable beds and good facilities

Would have been nice to have parking but not much of an issue
