About this property

Stay a while @Murray’s Beach Retreat | Family & Pet-friendly

Get away from the busyness of life to relax at this peaceful lux coastal retreat for all the family/friends to enjoy with magic sunsets & this lush serene setting by sitting around the warm firepit. Just one hour from Sydney's north shore & close to Rafferty's Resort that boasts a spectacular lakeside for all functions & a new alfresco Cams Wharf tavern to bask in the sun with live music every weekend. At Lakemac water sports offers kayaking, BBQ & fishing boat hire & giant aqua mats for the kids. Murray’s Cafe is an outdoor dog-friendly cafe surrounded by the bushland on the edge of Lake Macquarie. The jetty over the lake is great for fishing, the paths along the waterfront are ideal for a casual stroll or a place to bring the kids on their bikes & scooters. Bring a picnic blanket, order from the takeaway menu & sit on the waterfront to take-in the array of sparkling sunsets. Step into the relaxed vibe of Caves Coastal Bar & Restaurant, or the Swansea RSL only minutes' drive, let the ocean breeze make it restful and enjoy the local charm we’ve fallen in love with.
This is the perfect place for those moments that matter the most with the people that matter the most to you.
