Celeste, 26 Bonito Street - Tranquil, Stylish & Pet friendly

TWO Minute Stroll Through THE Waterfront Reserve TO Bush-Lined Bagnalls Beach, A Nature Lover’S Paradise

Set in an exotic garden featuring aloe and cactus, and overlooking the magnificent gum trees of Bagnalls Beach reserve, Celeste offers tranquil & stylish accommodation for up to six people and small to medium well-behaved dogs are welcome too.

Bagnalls Beach is a 24hr off-leash beach, so our guest doggies think it’s paradise too.

The house exudes a relaxed ambience. It is spacious and light filled, and all on one level, one step above ground. With a unique layout, the two living areas and kitchen wrap around a private sunny, north east facing courtyard.
Sheltered from winter westerlies and open to cooling north-easterly summer breezes, the grassed courtyard invites alfresco meals and relaxation both summer and winter.

It’s an ideal spot for a game of Boules or Finska, with your afternoon cocktail.
The courtyard gas BBQ is accessed directly off the kitchen, with a retractable awning over the outdoor table.
The courtyard is enclosed by a 90cm high fence, providing security and easy supervision of toddlers and pets.

The large central kitchen is well equiped for preparing a holiday feast, with large oven, family size fridge, dishwasher, microwave and the requisite small appliances. Pantry basics are supplied.

Two spacious, attractively furnished, living areas make it a great multi-generational holiday house. The family room has a split-system air-conditioner, and offers a large smart TV, with Netflix, Blu-ray and DVD player. The front living room has a 10 seat dining table, and an inviting lounge area for quiet reading, or after dinner conversation.
The second and third bedrooms are located at the rear of the house adjacent the three way family bathroom, with bath and shower room, separate vanity area and a separate toilet.

The Master Bedroom, Ensuite and Guest toilet are tucked away at the front of the house, affording privacy and quiet. Lux Australian Botanical toiletries supplied.

Location
Three minutes walk to Bagnalls Beach, a nature lover’s paradise. It has an unspoiled bush backdrop, with a resident flock of black swans, abundant birdlife, and dolphins feeding off the point at dusk.
Bagnalls Beach offers calm, child-friendly swimming or paddle boarding and canoeing.
Nearby Dutchies Beach is a calm protected cove, perfect for swimming at any tide. It is a pleasant ten minute walk away, along the foreshore reserve, shaded by trees, with several lovely children’s playgrounds and picnic areas along the way.

You’ll love morning and evening walks along the beach or the bush track behind the beach surrounded by birdsong, and the everchanging vistas across the bay.
The sunrise and sunset views are magical, and the winter sunsets particularly stunning.

The scenic bayside pathway runs right from our door, via continuous foreshore
parkland, to Nelson Bay village, a 20 minute walk. Many lovely cafes and restaurants to choose from, and boutique shopping for those with a keen eye.

The location is very central. Salamander shopping centre, Nelson Bay Village, Tomaree Aquatic Centre, the Anchorage Resort and golf courses, are all within 5 minutes by car. Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay and the oceanside surf beaches, One Mile and Birubi are all within 10 to 5mins drive, as are most of the major Port Stephens attractions.

Fabulous family stay
A beautifully decorated spacious home, that we all loved. Everything we needed was provided - far more than you often see in holiday bookings, (and an excellent optional linen service). The location was excellent - 5 mins walk to a dog friendly beach, a tropical inspired back yard to relax in and a short drive to the shops. We were aware there was only one air conditioned room (a lounge) with ceiling fans in the other rooms, but were a little unprepared for the impact of an incredibly humid week. That’s the only drawback for a middle of summer stay. Fantastic communication from the agents, we’re returning home feeling relaxed and highly recommend the property and service.

Bonito Bagnall Beach
We arrived on a extremely hot day to find only one air conditioner in the rumpus room and ceiling fans in the other rooms. We were disappointed to see the ducted air conditioner was disarmed especially when the listing states it has air conditioning. We rang the property manager and were told if you clicked on the drop down box next to air conditioning it states it is for only one room. Unfortunately we found the communication with the property manager poor and many things were incorrect. The accommodation spacious and clean with a dog friendly yard. It is a great location only 3 min walk to Bagnall Beach which is a off leash dog friendly beach . Our dog loved it.

Just a short picturesque stroll to beach/dog beach and kids playground.
Well equipped spacious property. It’s a shame bedlinen/towels were not provided for guests as part of the package. Hired sheets and pillowslips did not really fit some of the bedding configurations. No fitted sheets supplied. Pillowcases very small for large pillows. Back Garden well fenced for pets. Not too toddler/young child friendly with mainly spiky plants, aloe and cacti featured in garden. No high chair provided. Apart from the above points enjoyed our stay in Corlette Port Stephens and would recommend this holiday home for a relaxing stay.

Highly recommend- ticks all the boxes
Thoroughly recommend this property. Added bonus was that it was pet friendly. Conveniently located to nearby Bagnalls beach which is also dog friendly. Level property with double driveway which was perfect to store our boat. Very well furnished and equiped house including wifi/Netflix and loved that they had two push bikes available to use. Can’t wait to return.

What a fabulous holiday rental. Clean and so well equipped with everything we needed for children and the dogs. Perfect location to beach and walking/cycle paths. We have been holidaying in Nelson Bay for over 10 years with pets and this is by far the best house we have stayed at during that time. We hope to be back next year.
