Speers Point Lakeviews on The Esplanade
Welcome to your relaxing lakeside retreat — a custom-built duplex that seamlessly blends contemporary design with homely charm. Overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Macquarie, this light-filled home comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, making it perfect for families or groups seeking a peaceful escape. With stunning lake views from the living area and patio, polished timber floors, and thoughtful design details throughout, every moment here feels serene, whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee as the sun rises or winding down with a glass of wine on the deck.
Inside, the open-plan living area provides a welcoming space to relax, complete with a large TV, comfortable seating, and air conditioning for year-round comfort. The adjoining dining area seats eight, while the fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed for self-catering, including an oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee machine. Four beautifully styled bedrooms feature plush bedding and superior linens, with the master bedroom enjoying air conditioning and the lounge offering a double sofa bed for extra guests. Two modern bathrooms and a full laundry with washer and dryer provide added convenience, with fresh towels and travel essentials supplied for a stress-free stay.
Step outside to the private balcony and soak in uninterrupted views of Lake Macquarie, a serene setting on The Esplanade that invites you to slow down and embrace lakeside life. Explore nearby attractions like Warners Bay Foreshore, Speers Point Park, and the Creative Lake Sculpture Trail, or simply relax and watch the water go by. With onsite parking, Wi-Fi, and a prime location just 20 minutes from Newcastle’s CBD, this lakeside haven offers the perfect combination of comfort, connection, and unforgettable memories.

This property operates under and in line with the NSW Code of Conduct for Short-Term Rentals. A full copy of the Code is available on the NSW Fair Trading website.
Guest Registration: All guests are required to complete electronic guest registration prior to arrival, including uploading a valid photo ID, such as a Driver’s Licence or Passport. The primary booker must also provide a list of all guests’ names and current mobile numbers to ensure we can make contact if needed. These documents are securely stored and deleted after departure. Access codes are only provided to registered and verified guests.
Noise & No-Party Policy: All of our properties are located in residential areas and are subject to strict local noise regulations. Noise that can be heard outside the property between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM is strictly prohibited. Parties, events, and large gatherings are not permitted under any circumstances. Breaches of this policy may result in immediate eviction, forfeiture of your bond, and additional charges.
Age Restrictions: Bookings are not accepted for groups under 23 years of age unless travelling with a parent or approved in writing beforehand.
Extra Guests & Visitors: Only guests listed in the booking are permitted to stay at the property, and the total number of guests, including any visitors—who must be approved in writing by AirKeeper prior to arrival—must not exceed the number stated in the booking; small gatherings like a family BBQ are generally acceptable, but larger events are not permitted, and any unauthorised guests or gatherings may result in eviction, cancellation, loss of bond, and additional charges.
Linen & Towels: Each guest is supplied with a full set of bed linen and one bath towel; pool, lake, and beach towels are not provided. Guests are welcome to bring their own towels for recreational use. Requests for additional towels or linen must be made at least 7 days prior arrival and may incur additional charges. For longer stays, we recommend bringing extra towels.
Amenities Starter Pack
A base supply of bathroom and kitchen amenities is provided as a starter pack, based on a standard 2-night stay. Guests are advised to bring any additional items needed for bathing, cooking, or cleaning according to their personal preferences and the length of their stay.
Pets: Pets are only welcome at our designated ‘pet friendly’ properties with prior written approval. If a pet is present without approval, or at a non-pet friendly property, guests will be charged for steam cleaning of carpets, furniture, or any mess left by the pet. For approved pets, all mess —including outdoors—must be wrapped and placed in external bins, and pet bedding must be provided by the guest. If pets are allowed inside, they must be restricted to hard floor areas and not permitted on furniture or in bedrooms. Guests agree to pay for any damage or additional cleaning required as a result of their pet’s stay.
Lost Property: A minimum charge of $80 applies to all lost property returns. This includes a $50 administration fee and postage costs up to $30. If postage exceeds $30, any additional shipping costs will be charged to the guest. Lost items will only be returned upon request, and charges must be paid in full prior to dispatch.
Security & Monitoring: Our properties may have external security cameras and/or noise monitoring devices, as permitted by local laws, for guest and property safety. No internal cameras are installed. In apartments, building management may operate cameras in communal areas. For stand-alone homes, cameras may monitor entry points. Tampering with any device may result in penalties.
Departure Responsibilities: Upon departure, all properties must be returned in a clean condition. While a general clean is included in your rental, excess cleaning charges will apply for items such as dirty dishes, stained linen, food or drink spills, BBQ cleaning, or rubbish not disposed of in outside bins. If bin night occurs during your stay, please ensure the bins are placed on the curb as instructed in your pre-arrival email; failure to do so may incur tipping fees. Any additional cleaning or disposal charges will be communicated and deducted from your security bond.
Insurance: We strongly recommend all guests take out an affordable third-party domestic travel insurance policy to safeguard against unexpected events that could disrupt travel. This is particularly important for situations such as severe weather, concert or event cancellations, medical emergencies, or any other circumstances for which we do not offer refunds under our standard Terms & Conditions. Providers like Cover-More, Travel Insurance Direct, and Insureandgo offer suitable options.
Critical Update: Due to a recent increase in fraudulent bookings, we have introduced a policy to protect our guests, property owners, and the wider community. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival must provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name as the primary guest, matching the supplied identification document. If these documents do not match, the booking will be cancelled and funds returned to the original card. We appreciate our honest guests’ understanding that this policy is in place to safeguard all parties.
Liabilities: Guests are responsible for any damage, breakage, or theft that occurs during their stay. Any items noted as missing or damaged by our cleaners will be charged against the bond or waiver. Should you discover any faults or breakages upon arrival, please notify us immediately. Guests are also fully responsible for their own actions and the actions of their visitors, including safety and conduct, while on the property. AirKeeper and property owners disclaim liability for any personal injury, loss, or damage occurring on or off the property, including events beyond our control such as adverse weather, fire, flood, travel delays, civil disturbances, or other force majeure. Guests agree to indemnify and hold harmless AirKeeper and the property owner against any claims, losses, or damages arising from their actions, incidents, or events during the booking.
Guest Compensation Policy: Compensation may be considered for essential amenity failures (e.g. air conditioning, fridge, washing machine, cleanliness) when: the guest provides access for contractors/cleaners to resolve the issue. Cleanliness concerns must be reported upon arrival, with immediate access provided for re-cleaning. Claims must be submitted during your stay or within 2 business days of checkout, including time & date stamped arrival photos. Claims are reviewed within 3 business days post-checkout, in line with owner agreements and Fair Trading guidelines. Note: reservations, and weekend staff cannot process claims directly.
