Great House perfect Location

Lovely house on the water front, well equipped and maintained. Nice to have a well equipped kitchen and plenty of crockery and glassware. Wangi is a great place to relax, plenty of dinning and shops a short walk away. Looking forward to returning.

The communication was so good and helpful. Thank you. Easy access was another plus. We enjoyed lovely views over the lake as we entered the house. It is next to a perfect walking path alongside the lake. Perfect house for our needs with a huge main area to socialize in, with a real holiday atmosphere.

Our holiday at Wangi Lakehouse on Lake Maquarrie.

Wangi Lakehouse is in a perfect position on the lake close to shops and RSL for a night out, quiet area. We found a few faulty appliances, gas BBQ needs the jets cleaned as food will not not cook evenly, the oven needed a clean and the microwave was hard to get started, just minor things need attending to, that will make things better for future holidaymakers.

Fabulous location

Excellent location. The view as you open the door is just amazing. Location is superb, close to shops, restaurants and clubs. The house has so much to offer, perfect deck to take in the sunset with automatic awnings if needed. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Coffee machine supplied, dishwashing tablets and even washing machine capsules. We had a perfect weekend away. Best Portuguese tarts and pastries available at Vita Patisserie.

Water views

We loved the view of Lake Macquarie and the beautiful walking path right beside the lake. As mentioned in a previous review we found the tedious process of supplying a code to obtain a key for access frustrating. The house was spacious but the cleaning was very average resulting in a very dusty bed frame and poorly cleaned areas in the kitchen. Overall it was disappointing.

We enjoyed our stay - the place was convenient and generally well looked after. Even though the booking was through Stayz, all communication (including payment) involved a separate property manager which was confusing.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Beautiful location. Poor cleanliness

First impressions were good, fantastic location, amazing view, modern decor. The house had everything a family could possibly need for a few days away. Unfortunately the property was quiet grotty, we pretty much had to wash plates/cups/up as we went as everything in the cupboards/drawers were dirty. The fridge was dirty, there was hair that didn’t belong to my family in the shower and in the “fresh made” beds. We found a dirty cotton tip with ear wax on the it on a shelf in the bedroom. Ceiling fans were caked with dirt and dust, the bbq was disgusting, like it hadn’t been cleaned in a few months. Floors looked like they’d been quickly vaccummed and surfaced wiped down but not very well. We expected more considering the price we paid and considering we are in the middle of a pandemic where cleanliness is EVERYTHING. The cleanliness just cheapened the experience for us unfortunately. We contacted the property manager Weekenda directly and they offered a 10% discount on any future holidays with them which we declined.
