My family has grown up coming to Madolly Cottage during Easter breaks and have loved the space. Great new additions with outside chairs and door. 2nd bathroom a great extra. We will be back
Steve and Jackie really came through for us after the huge storms in Port Stephens left us without power. Such great hosts! Despite the wild weather the location of the house is perfect to enjoy Shoal Bay on a budget. Highly recommended!
We loved our stay at Madolly cottage. Perfect location to the beach and coffee shops. Cottage had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.
Great place. Loved the covered outdoor area. Well equipped cottage, everything you need to cook for yourselves. Great location, Beach and cafes a few minutes walk away. All enclosed yard, so was great for our fur child.
Great location. Very well equipped with everything. Very family and dog friendly. Outdoor kitchen and shower are fantastic. We loved our stay. Thank you.
The property had everything we needed and has been maintained well. Spacious backyard and alfresco area. Close to everything around the Pt Stephens area.
My wee dog loved the big yard and we appreciated it was fully enclosed. Loved our stay - some more chairs in lounge wouldnât go amiss and mildly annoying taking own sheets and towels but other than that fantastic
The accommodation is walking distance to the beach, the local shops and restaurants. The owner was very easy to communicate with and gave clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out procedures. The property is very dog friendly. We brought our 2-year old cavoodle with us and he liked exploring the backyard.
We very much enjoyed your house howevera small arm chair for the lounge room would have been good although we did sit outside quite a bit. It was raining a lot and the lounge was a bit cosy for three adult ladies. Maybe replace the couch in the sleepout with a chair that can be moved into the lounge area as I know itâs quite small. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. The chair from our side got hard to sit in after a while and the bean bags ok for kids. A couple of pot holders would be good too.
We had an amazing stay at Madolly. The house has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Our kids and dogs enjoyed playing in the secure back yard and we loved waking to the beach each day. Madolly is walking distance to everything you need/want. Restaurants, cafe, parks, walks, beaches and more.
We felt totally relaxed and at home. We will definitely be booking again.
Positives: Fabulous little cottage, very homely & comfortable.
Large outdoor rear covered deck with BBQ & entertaining area. Good size backyard for our dog, who found the property very comfortable too. 5 min walk into town & beach. Undercover carport garage for your vehicle.
Negatives: Can be a noisy road at times when we were sleeping mostly in the early morning being a residential area.
Would be better with sheets & towels included in the price as other properties do include.
Outside 2nd toilet should be available to use even with 3 people, states you must have 4 or more people.
2 night stay with my adult children and our golden. Fantastic location, easy walking to Shoal bay foreshore. The house was clean and tidy with great outdoor space.
We have stayed in this property once before and it was nice so we decided to come again. This was one of those rare occasions where the property has actually gotten better! The Renoâs to the bathrooms and better heating have improved the property a lot, and we canât wait to come back again next year.
Jackie & Stephen have owned the property since 2010. We love Shoal Bay and the Port Stephens district for swimming, cycling, golf, walking and all the other things you can do outside.
Short walk (250m) to Shoal Bay Country and other eating venues. Easy access to both the calm waters of Port Stephens or the surf beaches of Fingal Bay and Box Beach.
