An Amazing Holiday...

We have stayed twice at Dutchies and have loved it both times. The unit is lovely inside, the beach is a walk down the stairs away and Nelson Bay ten minutes away..

Nice stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, lovely view & convenient access to a great child friendly beach. Only a three drive to the Main Street. The unit was clean although I had to pop out to buy pillows and blankets as the pillows were heavily stained and the quilts had an odd smell & needed a wash.

Welcome to Paradise

My husband & I stayed here for 2 weeks and we wished we had stayed for longer. I don't think you could get a more perfect location - magical views over Dutchman's Beach and just a minute's walk before your toes are in the water & walking distance to the shops in Nelsons Bay. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly require & stocked it. I hope to be able to visit again.
