About this property

Family friendly house just 250 metres from the beach!

"Ariella" is a lovely brick cottage situated in a quiet location very close to beautiful Shoal Bay beach. The location is one of the best in the Nelson Bay area, situated between Shoal Bay and Little Beach and central to everything.

Ariella has modern appliances, fittings and furniture. The main house consists of 2 bedrooms (sleeps 5) PLUS there is a semi-detached self contained unit which sleeps another 3. With 2 seperate, self contained sleeping areas, Ariella provides a flexible range of accommodation options. It's perfect for families/extended families, and/or multiple couples. The house is air-conditioned and there is plenty of offstreet parking.

You will love the location. Ariella is in a quiet and safe street, well away from the main roads, but only 250 metres from the beautiful white sands of Shoal Bay beach. There is little or no traffic noise. An enclosed outdoor area ensures young children can play safely - plus there's a large grassed and shady front yard.

Shops, restaurants, clubs and marinas are all within a short walking distance - or at most a couple of minutes drive. This is a very comfortable getaway location where you can relax and wind down in a quiet and private location after enjoying the fabulous beaches and many other activities the area offers.

Because Ariella is located in a quiet residential street, parties. late night activities and excessive noise is strictly prohibited. As such Ariella is not considered suitable for groups of young people. Schoolies enquiries cannot be accepted.

House Layout

"Ariella" consists of the main house which has 2 bedrooms (sleeps 5)- PLUS a semi-detached unit (sleeps additional 3). This is ideal if there are 2 x families or couples - as each can have their own self-contained space whilst sharing the common living and outdoor areas. The house and unit are "interconnected" via the gamesroom and covered outdoor area. Its just like the two areas make up one large house with a shared living and covered outdoor area in the midlle. (We can arrange a discount if you dont need the semi detached "unit" area).

The main cottage features:
- main bedroom with queen size bed and ceiling fan
- second bedroom with triple bunk bed (double/single on top)
- modern 3 way bathroom with spa bath
- modern kitchen with dishwasher and pantry
- washer and dryer
- dining table and chairs (seats 8 comfortably)
- leather lounge
- large 42" plasma, DVD, sound system
- covered outdoor BBQ area with gas BBQ (seats 8)
- outdoor spa
- air conditioning in living area (split system)
- BBQ area

From the main house you step out into a large covered BBQ area which also connects to a detached building which features a large games room with table tennis, soccer and lounge area. The games room also leads into the self contained "unit" which is a single room layout with its own:
- queen bed
- single bed
- ensuite
- air conditioning (split system)
- kitchenette (tea and coffee making facilities only)

Linen and towels are not included, however, there are local service providers in the area whom you can contact if this is required.

Main Features

If you want to be close to the beach and other attractions, but away from the hustle and bustle of main roads and shops, then Ariella is the place for you. The house is set in a quiet location, and is situated well back from the street, providing you with quiet and privacy. Just out the front there's a walkway to the beach which is only a short stroll away. You can walk or cycle to the cafes, restaurants and shops at Shoal Bay or Nelson Bay - or visit the Marina from where regular dolphin and whale watch cruises depart.

The house is clean and comfortable. It has been refurbished with modern furniture and fittings and has comfortable beds, two (2) large plasma TV's, DVD players and stereo. A complimentary selection of DVD's, together with a selection of card and board games is provided for your use and convenience.

The large covered outdoor BBQ area, with a new gas BBQ and modern outdoor setting and sun lounges, provides an ideal place to sit around and just relax. And,if it starts to rain, you can retreat to the "games room" for some indoor activities, watch a movie, or just chill out.

Awesome Ariella
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 'Ariella'. It was like our home away from home! The house was tidy and everything was easy to find. It was spacious and in particular we loved the games area for the kids to play, especially when there was wet weather! It was a great location near the beach and we easily accessed the shops at Shoal Bay multiple times.The owners were easy to communicate with and we appreciated them making contact with us before and after our stay! We looking forward to returning sometime in the future.

Awesome property - great location, plenty of room and super clean
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fabulous location: only a short stroll to the beach and walking distance to both Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. The premises itself was perfect for our needs, It was super clean, the kitchen, bedrooms and games room had everything we needed (and more) and the seperate living areas (for adults and kids) was an unexpected bonus. Highly recommended..

Amazing place
This place has everything you need plus what you want. The hosts were amazing and went out of their way to ensure we were informed and settled in. The pantry is fully stocked with the basics in condiments, decent sized pots and pans and trays to serve the number of people it accommodates, along with room to stock groceries. The stove and oven work well, the 2 fridges makes all the convenience you need. The bedrooms roomy, with plenty of spaces to store luggage and clothes. The teenagers’ retreat suited us just fine, we had fun using the tennis table and futsal table, playing games, reading books and the spa is an added bonus we all enjoyed. So close to Shoal bay, Little beach and Nelson bay. Sad to go but hopefully return soon. Thanks so much.
