Holiday rentals with lake access in Darling Harbour

Our stay at this beautiful home was incredible. The views of the bush and lake are amazing, and all the rooms of the house were stunning. You feel super secluded but with everything close by. Ken was great with communication.

It’s a fantastic stay. Beautiful Lakehouse. Great for a family of 4. Got plenty to do at the premises, sauna by the lakeside, kayaking at Cooma Bay and cooking in the beautiful kitchen with the freshly picked vegetables from the garden. Also, there are two lovely doggies, Matilda and Bella checked us in and out. Amazing host!

Beautiful place in a beautiful location! Access to kayaks and a boat made the stay that much more enjoyable, and house was well stocked with everything you could need.

We had such a great stay at Jennifer’s place! It was sooo comfortable for a large group with big open spaces for everyone to be in together. Great ammenities too thank you so much!!! :)

This was such a lovely beach home, the kind you dream of! It was wonderful having views of the water from every corner of the home. Everything in the home was beautiful and thoughtfully furnished. We tried kayaking and fishing and enjoyed it very much. The boys enjoyed playing on the lawn outside and the husband prepared a simple bbq on the patio. The kitchen was also very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will definitely be recommending friends over!

This lakeside home is the perfect getaway for large family gatherings for all ages! The pool was AMAZING, the pool table was used constantly, the kitchen was well stocked and the 3 main bedrooms has the most incredible views. The beds were all very comfortable, and there were multiple TVs to suit everyone. The bathrooms were spacious and modern. The views were stunning across the lake, especially at sunset. our family of 13 had a very special and memorable stay. Justin's videos were very helpful and his communication was excellent.

Cassandra was an amazing host and her place was beautiful. Everything was super clean and she let us check in/out flexibly. The place was very accomodating for our large group stay over the long weekend. The place was fully stocked with everything our group needed for a relaxing stay - fireplace, games, speaker, daybed and outdoor furniture. The bialetti cafeteria was a highlight!

We stayed in Kate’s place over a weekend to celebrate some significant birthdays with the family ranging in age from 71 to 0. It suited us perfectly! Well equipped for babies through to more elderly. 3 bathrooms, laundry and 5 bedrooms with separate TV room. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, cosy fireside and fun on the lake at the bottom of the garden. Take board games and books. Location worked very well for us as some travelled from Sydney and some from Newcastle on a Friday evening. Can thoroughly recommend.

Vicki is an outstanding host. lovely place to stay. nice and cosy. bathroom is modern. kitchen is equipped with everything. you can hear the ocean in your bed 😊

We had a great stay at Warwick’s place. Ideal location - both walking distance to the beach and strip of restaurants and cafes. The lounge and dining furniture differs to what is listed in the pictures, however that did not impact our stay.

Bernadette’s place is a great find! Beautiful view overlooking the pool and lake, and the complimentary coffee/tea/cookies were a nice touch. Bed was also super comfy! Would definitely stay here again

OMG..... the apartment was absolutely stunning in an outstanding location. Everything was perfect and Jen was very attentive, we had a peaceful getaway. Thanks Jen, for sharing this piece of heaven with us...

Beth is a warm and gracious host and the studio is really spacious, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There was a generous complimentary selection of snacks and fruits, which was an extremely welcoming touch in case you were a bit peckish on arrival. The garden is a beautiful space in which to relax as well - I just wished we'd had time to try out the BBQ! Beth's place is within striking distance of Palm Beach or Avalon Beach and we always walked (allow 30-40 minutes to either); alternatively, the #199 bus services Barrenjoey Road every 5-10 minutes. We found Beth's place to be an excellent base for enjoying and exploring the area and highly recommend this place to others.

Second time coming back here, particularly appreciated the addition of the coffee machine with a range of pods - very nice touch. Some towels weren’t out, but found them in the closet, so no real problem there. Very clean and well appointed, I’d happily return.

Absolutely amazing stay. Definitely the most hospitable Airbnb I have ever stayed in. Every need was taken care of!

Great location, place is very well maintained. Kitchen has everything one needs. Jeremy and Jane are very helpful and supportive. Manly is a vibrant and scenic place, the view from the balcony is amazing. Lots of things to do and places to visit. During our stay, the weather was perfect and there were plenty of opportunities for walking, swimming, looking for wildlife. Thank you, Jeremy and Jane for your support and hospitality. Next time we will be in Sydney, we will book again.

Sally's cottage was the perfect place for my partner and I to stay for the weekend. It had everything we needed and so much more! The space was spotless and had beautiful details throughout the room. It was clear that a lot of heart and care had gone into the space. It had lovely views over their property to wake up to and plenty of spots to enjoy it. On top of that Sally was a wonderful host! She checked in with us the day before with very clear instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. She also baked us some lovely goodies and had stocked us up with fresh eggs and milk. The perfect host and a perfect stay! We highly recommend Mindaribba Cottage and would love to go back if we are back in the area.

We had a relaxing stay at Mark's place, the location is amazing, right across from the beach and next to lagoon. 2 min walk to shops and 10 min walk to surf club, made it a very handy location. The decor was excellent, Mark has carried out a great renovation on the little beach house, it was very warm and inviting for duration of our stay.

We had a beautiful weekend away at Cox’s cottage. It was so quiet and the views, especially at sunset, were unreal. It was a great escape from the city to unwind for a few days! The cottage itself is so charming and Jeremy and Annette were very responsive.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Moneesha’s cottage. From the moment we arrived, Moneesha was incredibly hospitable. She kindly let us check in early and check out late, which made our trip even more relaxing. The cottage itself was peaceful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The serene setting by Lake Munmorah made it a truly restful escape. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily return!

Howard was a wonderful host. The house was immaculate even came in to awesome music playing when we first arrived, the scenery was breathtaking and the overall experience was something you don’t get often in the city. My partner and I will definitely be back!

We enjoyed staying at this place. The amenities within the place are amazing and well thought. Simone is also very helpful in giving recommendations of places to visit in the area.

The stay was great. Joy and Lynelle were wonderful hosts. Amazing view, the north facing balcony let’s you soak in the sunshine all day long,definitely recommend for those looking for a weekend getaway in Central Coast area!

A beautiful, peaceful location. A very cute little house, beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Has everything you need. Sitting on the deck having breakfast looking at the bay, was just magical. Surrounded by gum trees, casuarinas and paperbarks with lots of rainbow lorikeets and kookaburras, even black cockatoos! Highly recommend!
