Stunning House
Enormous house with gorgeous outlook over Lake Macquarie, with plenty of privacy from neighbours. Adjacent to a resort but no-one around when we stayed so felt like we were the only ones around. Wi-fi not great, couldn't get the speaker to connect or the TV to work. Short on basic supplies, no salt, 4 tea bags, 4 coffee pods for 9 women over 3 nights so that could be improved. We always take all our specialty stuff, but the standard type not provided, like most of the other places we have stayed at. Kitchen had ample crockery, pots, pans etc but only 2 thin tea towels, no paper towel, a couple of dishwashing tablets. We tend to stay in house, cook all meals and obviously clean up so again not having enough basic supplies was a nuisance. But overall, the house suits big groups and we had a fabulous time.

Wonderful property
Had an amazing time. Everyone loved the house. It caters for elderly and disabled people as there are bedrooms downstairs and an accessible bathroom for people who can't access the bedrooms upstairs. Highly recommended.

Perfect weekend retreat
This property is brilliant! We went away for a quiet girls weekend and we could not have been happier. The house is generous, it contains everything we needed and the outlook and views are perfect. Having a great little restaurant not even 100 mtrs away made the whole experience a relaxing and convenient. We will be back!

Amazing house and location - just perfect for our large family getaway.
Spacious house with private outdoor living areas and amazing access to the lake and resort facilities. A few small things were not what we expected for an executive home stay - the fridge had a strong unpleasant seafood odour and there were no cleaning products to use; face washers were provided instead of hand towels in bathrooms; tv remotes didn’t have working batteries; utensils were in disarray and some needed cleaning/replacement. It would be great if guests could have the option of having 2 single beds made up as one bed for couples.

Great space for a family group of 12. Everyone enjoyed the amenities. Lovely quiet location.
Online mainly but when a phone call was necessary it was dealt with in a friendly & efficient manner.
