About this apartment rental
Updated photo's November 2025 as per guests feedback. Blue Waters has new beds and window coverings and is perfectly located just 300m back from beautiful Shoal Bay Beach and the array of bars, cafes and restaurants which hug the coastline. With crystal clear waters and white sands, Shoal Bay is undoubtedly one of the prettiest coastal towns Australia has to offer on the east coast and the perfect holiday destination. You can hire kayaks, stand up paddle boards (open everyday during the high seasons of school holidays, long weekends and Easter) and bicycles. A short stroll to the eastern end of the bay is the magnificent Tomaree National Park with spectacular views from the top of Mount Tomaree.
Facing the Tomaree National Park and headland, you will love the sounds of native birds and hearing the waves crashing gently against the shoreline. Just a 5-minute drive in the opposite direction brings you to Nelson Bay, and Fingal Bay Surf Lifesaving Club is a short drive away (approx. 2.3km) where you will find a surf patrolled swimming area and Learn to Surf Lessons during the warmer months.
Perfect for a small group of friends or family, enjoy the ocean breeze, this cosy and comfortable top-floor unit has an open plan living area with a Smart TV and glass sliding doors out to a private balcony with breathtaking views over the bay. It features a kitchen with microwave, fridge/freezer and bar stools, open plan kitchen, dining, lounge.
The main bedroom has a new queen bed with built-in robe, balcony access, a small TV and a pedestal fan, and the other bedroom has 2 new singles, while the bathroom offers a mini bath tub/shower and toilet. The unit also has an internal laundry with washer and dryer, and undercover parking.
Important Notes:
- Linen & bath towels are provided & beds are made at this property.
- wifi now provided at this property

Fantastic views and location that distracted from the substandard and outdated furniture and lack of air-conditioning. Fridge tv couches toilet door need updating. No dishwasher. Good cleanliness and smooth checkin process.

Reviewer Comments:
Everything was great about the stay. Booking was easy and the Winning personnel were really helpful and professional. It was easy to book and a few emails back and forth sorted everything out. Trying to contact by phone was really wierd though, with calls going via an offshore call centre which was not very helpful at all. I just wanted to clarify a couple of points, but this was impossible and I was kept on hold while the call centre tried to locate someone to talk directly with. Not a good system. We have been coming to Shoal Bay for 20 years, and this was probably our 8th stay in 8 Blue Waters. It's always been easy to book and arrange. Having booked and paid I did not expect the barrage of automated mails for online check in, etc. I am not one of the snowflakes who need constant contact and support. 8 Blue Waters is a true gem, best uninterrupted views of the bay from the balcony and comfortable for us. It wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but we find it perfectly appointed for our needs. Sat out on the balcony and ate our evening meals and played scrabble, etc. Will go again later in the year.

Older style unit in a good spot.
Don't forget to bring your own linen.
It is on the 3rd story with no lift so only suitable if you are good with stairs.
