About the host

Hosted by Lakeshores Holiday & Short Stay Accommodation

Host profile image
Lakeshores Accommodation is a family owned, locally based holiday rental company that has been looking after guests and holiday homes around Lake Macquarie since 1996. What started with just a couple of family properties has grown into a small, hands on team that lives, works, and plays in the same streets and beaches our guests come to enjoy.

We are not a big corporate agency, we are local people who know the area and the homes we manage. You will often find us checking properties ourselves, meeting trades on site, and making sure each home is guest ready, rather than relying on cleaners alone to do the property management work.

We love welcoming couples, families, workers, and of course their dogs, to relaxed and well presented homes. Our focus is on honest communication, clean and comfortable stays, and sharing local tips so you can make the most of your time by the lake and at nearby Blacksmiths and Caves Beach.

When you book with Lakeshores, you are supporting a local family business that genuinely cares about your stay and about the owners who trust us with their homes.

Why they chose this property

Situated in a relaxed coastal community, this home is just a short stroll from the golden sands of Blacksmiths Beach - a patrolled beach in the warmer months, perfect for swimming, surfing, and long walks along the shoreline. The nearby Grannies Pool offers a calm, sheltered swimming spot, ideal for families or those looking for a more leisurely dip.

The Blacksmiths foreshore features shaded picnic areas, BBQ facilities, and playgrounds, while the popular Fernleigh Track cycling and walking trail is close by for those wanting to explore further afield. A short walk or bike ride brings you to the local shops, including a bakery, cafés, takeaway food, and everyday conveniences.

Water enthusiasts will love the easy access to Swansea Channel for fishing, boating, or paddleboarding, with a public boat ramp nearby. For more dining and shopping options, Swansea is just a couple of minutes’ drive away, while Belmont offers larger supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment.

Whether you’re here to enjoy the surf, relax in the sun, or explore the coastal and lakeside attractions of Lake Macquarie, this location makes it easy to enjoy a laid-back holiday lifestyle.
