The location, right on the water was the best feature for us. If we come back to the club for another sailing regatta we will definitely stay there again!Hugh, the host was very accommodating advising that we could check out late as there was no other booking straight after us.

Peaceful getaway

A well kept 3 bedroom cabin with expansive views of Lake Macquarie. Quiet location great for getting away from the rat race. The house had everything you need for a very pleasant stay. Contact from the owners made arrival very smooth and we would definitely stay here again.
