Property was fantastic for 6 mature adults who enjoy water sports, views and local activity without being manic. Surrounding suburbs were easy to access for purchasing food and other services. Would highly recommend this property.
I enjoyed our stay, there was enough room for everyone, it was clean and we had a lovely view out over Lake Macquarie. The kayak's were fun.

Had a great time, perfect for relaxing. Boat ramp not far from the property and could pull up during the day and go in and out from the shore. Close to beautiful Lake Munmorah National Park and the amazing beaches there.

We enjoyed our stay to the full. We had a very good and comfortable stay at this property. Our group comprised of adults and children. The complimentary kayaks, bikes, surf boards etc. made our stay special. Although we could not make use of it, but the host accepted our request for early check-in which was great. Would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to have a great time next to the lake.

Everything was as advertised. The inclusion of a number of kayaks was a favourite with the kids. Everyone had a lot of fun.
I had a very good stay overall — the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas were spacious and great for a group. The listing mentioned lake views for two rooms, but only one actually had a view, which wasn’t a big issue for us but might matter for others. The only real improvement would be having more boats or kayaks available, as there were only two for our group of seven; having a few more would make the experience even better. Despite that, we really enjoyed our time and would happily come back again when the weather is nicer.
The place was beautiful and located in a great position.
The extra beds were also very comfortable and the cleanliness of the place was brilliant!
It was also wonderful having the kayaks. We made good use of them 😊
The property was also well equipped and had everything essential needed for our stay.
I would definitely stay again 😁
Large property suitable for family/group weekends away. We stayed over the long Easter weekend and were very happy with the facilities.
The property had backyard access to a lake, which we were able to kayak in with the kayaks availiable.
Only suggestion is to stock property with basic necessities like S&P.
Overall, would definitely come back for another stay.
A beautiful warm charming home by the lakeside. We had my 9month old grandson with us who was delighted by the friendly ducks who came up to say hello in the backyard early in the morning. We went for early morning walks along the walkway behind the homes and watched the sunrise as boats headed out on the waterways. Everything we needed was available in the home with ample heating on those cool nights. Shopping for groceries was only a 10 minute drive away. We will most definitely be back again. Highly Recommended
