All my friends and I had the same thoughts, the place was peaceful with a great view. We made use of the supplied kayak and paddleboard, and fished til sunset. I think we'd all be keen on returning! Kate (host) was also incredibly helpful and responsive!

This property was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Access to the water was easy, and it was such a lovely place to watch the sunset over Lake Macquarie. The locals were very friendly and my catch up with long time old girlfriends was wonderful, as we each had our own room. The back deck was perfect for our afternoons in the sunshine and the communication with the owner prompt and friendly. Thank you Kate, would love to return one day.BYO Shampoo/Conditioner.

Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback! The Wifi is on the NBN with Telstra, I'll let them know but we haven't had other complaints. There isn one TV that requires you to turn the screen on and then the remote is entirely operational. This was explained in the check-in instructions, sorry if you missed that.

The property was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. It was very well set up to cater for our family. The kitchen had everything you could want to cook meals while on holidays. It was quiet and very peaceful. We will definately be booking again in the future.

Quiet location with an ok view. View is heavily obstructed by trees from house’s viewing deck. It should be noted if you are wanting to stay here for easy swimming / water activities as we were, it’s not recommended you swim in nearby lake due to shark danger. House is not suited for the elderly or toddler children due to stairs as explained in advertising. Main Lounge in the main lounge room is extremely uncomfortable and hard. Cameras are at the exterior of house as explained, however one is situated on the main commune area to wit the back deck and made our stay very uncomfortable for privacy reasons. House was overall functional for our stay and had moderate to good cleanliness. However, air conditioner is needed in down stairs to service 2 x sleeping bedrooms and main lounge room in our opinion. Overall location was good, locals nice and nearby amenities practical and enjoyable. Short drive to surrounding attractions and beaches. Communication exceptional with landlord.

Goodness! This is the first review I've had in 8 years of this nature. I'm somewhat at a loss. I encourage guests to read our other, much more positive reviews. Of course everyone experiences things differently and is entitled to an opinion so I do thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found the area enjoyable and my communication helpful. We aim to be very transparent in our listing, and we appreciate you acknowledging that the stairs and exterior cameras are listed. The camera overlooking the deck is installed for security purposes only. It does not have audio, it is only checked if there is a concern or complaint. We value our guests' privacy. Lake Macquarie is a coastal lagoon and open to the ocean. Guests should assess swimming conditions as you would at any beach or lake. This is the first complaint I’ve had in 8 years about the view or the couch. The photos on the listing are accurate. One recent guest said ‘great balcony where we enjoyed the view.’ Another said ‘The outlook from the balcony was beautiful & relaxing.’ I’m sorry this wasn’t your experience. Thank you again for your stay and for sharing your perspective — we wish you all the best in your future travels.

Beautiful house with amazing views and amenities

It was the perfect holiday house with plenty of beds, bedrooms and bathrooms for 4 adults and 4 children. Nice clean linen, fully renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Lovely views out on the deck. Just needs a new BBQ and some fumigation as there are a lot of spiders inside and cockaroaches outside. Amazing place, highly recommend it.

Thanks Sarvenaz for your five star review! And for recommending us to family. The BBQ is fixed. The cockroaches would certainly have loved the hot, wet weather. We've had the house treated and hopefully that improves!
