About this property
Family Lakefront Home
Welcome to our stunning Lakefront retreat ! Nestled along the tranquil shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, our spacious inviting property offers the perfect escape for families seeking to enjoy precious time together.
If you are intending to party, please do not book this house. Our neighbours won't tolerate it and you won’t be able to enjoy yourself in the way you plan.
If you're a group looking to enjoy some rest and relaxation in a beautiful place, then this is the house for you!
IDEAL FOR MULTIPLE FAMILIES
Our lakeside retreat is thoughtfully designed with families in mind. The floorplan is tailor-made for multiple families, providing separate living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms to ensure privacy while fostering a sense of togetherness. It's the perfect place to create lasting memories with loved ones.
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
Our expansive property boasts five comfortable bedrooms and clean and modern bathrooms. Each bedroom has been tastefully decorated to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
LIVING SPACES
Two spacious living areas await you, providing plenty of room for relaxation and entertainment. The main living room offers stunning lake views through large windows, allowing you to soak in the natural beauty of Lake Macquarie while enjoying the warmth of the fireplace during cooler evenings. The second living space offers a more intimate setting, perfect for quiet conversations or a movie night.
KITCHEN AND DINING
Our fully-equipped kitchen is a chef's delight, with all the essentials needed to prepare delicious meals. The adjacent dining area features a large dining table, perfect for gathering everyone together for memorable meals.
OUTDOOR OASIS
Step outside to discover our outdoor oasis. A spacious deck with BBQ overlooking the lake is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a quiet drink while watching the sunset. The expansive lawn provides space for outdoor games, picnics, or simply basking in the sun.
WATERFRONT ACTIVITES
Our lakefront property offers direct access to the water. Spend your days kayaking, SUPing, fishing, or simply lounging by the water's edge. A private jetty is available for those who wish to bring their watercraft - please advise on enquiry.
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
While our Lakefront Airbnb provides a serene escape in itself, you'll find a wealth of captivating nearby attractions waiting to be explored:
Watagans National Park: Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Watagans National Park, located just a short drive away. Discover lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and a network of hiking trails.
Caves Beach: Enjoy a day of sun, surf, and relaxation at Caves Beach, a pristine coastal gem known for its stunning sea caves and golden sands.
Catherine Hill Bay: A historic coastal village with a unique charm. Explore its heritage-listed jetty and iconic mining history. Stroll along the beach and enjoy the picturesque coastal scenery
