Ludford Lakefront and Beachside Retreat for Groups
Escape to tranquillity in this secluded waterfront home, featuring a seamless flow between light-filled indoor spaces and a generous wrap-around veranda with breathtaking lake views from every angle. Enjoy a swim and a poolside BBQ, cosy up by the firepit under the stars or hop on the kayaks for something a little more adventurous. Less than a five-minute drive away you’ll find fresh food retailers, The Swansea Hotel, a range of beloved local cafes, and the enticing dining scene at Caves Beach. This lakeside haven offers plenty of space and all the modern conveniences to ensure a comfortable stay, with indoor and outdoor living areas maximising its stunning location.
A fully-equipped kitchen and a bright and airy dining area include all you need to cook and enjoy meals, including a six-seater table and a dishwasher for easy clean-up. When you'd prefer to eat alfresco, head out to the deck for a poolside BBQ or picnic-style dining on the grassed area overlooking the water.
The inviting lounge area features a comfortable reclining sofa and armchairs, perfect for relaxing around the TV. Additionally, the rear sunroom includes a second sofa and TV, along with large windows that provide sweeping views of the lake.
The property features five bedrooms, which can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests. The primary bedroom includes a queen-size bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a walk-in wardrobe. Additionally, there are two spacious bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed. The fourth and fifth bedrooms are interconnecting, with one containing a queen-sized bed and a reading area, while the other has two single beds, perfect for families. The ensuite is immaculately appointed with an overhead shower, vanity and complimentary toiletries, while the main bathroom includes a bathtub to enjoy a leisurely soak.
Other conveniences include Wi-Fi, a private washing machine and dryer, enclosed driveway parking for two cars and free street parking 24/7. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Located 1.5 hours’ drive north of Sydney and a half-hour drive south of Newcastle, Swansea is conveniently positioned near all the attractions of picturesque Lake Macquarie.
Situated on the border between the Suburbs of Swansea and Caves Beach, there are multiple beautiful beaches and sandy inlets within easy reach, with the closest beach just a 5-minute walk away. The iconic patrolled swimming and surf spot Caves Beach, with its sculptural sea caves which can accessed at low tide, is just a kilometre away. Many options for your morning caffeine fix can be found in both Caves Beach & Swansea (Seed, Boffee, Mylo’s and Mawson to name a few), while local favourites Swansea RSL & Caves Coastal Bar offer dining options overlooking the water. Supermarkets and essentials are just a few minutes drive away in Swansea.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
