Guest house holiday rentals in Great Lakes Council

I was extremely happy with my 2 nights at The Studio. It was beautifully appointed, private and a great location for walks along the lake shore. Thank you, Monica for sharing your little piece of paradise. Fabulous little get away! Regards, Fiona.

Lovely stay in a beautiful location only a short level stroll in the beach. Accommodation was very comfortable clean and had everything we needed. Debs was very helpful . Thank you. We’d stay again.

We had a beautiful time! We didn’t spend much time at the BnB since we were out exploring — it’s super close to everything! It has all the great facilities you’d need if you just wanted to stay in, including dinnerware, a cooktop, and a COFFEE MACHINE! The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and everything was super clean, tidy, and spacious. Jennifer is so lovely and created an amazing stay for us!

Definitely one of the best AirBnB we have stayed at. Judy and Bruce were welcoming, helpful and friendly, even allowing us to check in an hour early (after a very early start for an early flight). Corona cottage is delightful and has everything you could need for a relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, the sofa bed was rather squeaky, but comfortable according to our adult son who slept on it, and the queen bed was very comfortable. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the pool looked lovely (although we did not get to use it due to rainy weather). A nice touch was the fresh fruit bowl and continental breakfast supplied. Overall, an amazing place for our family to relax and unwind, I highly recommend it if you are visiting the area.

Stayed for two nights with my partner. The property is located on a beautiful spot with vineyards, ponds, trees, and views of the surrounding valley. The welcome gift was very much appreciated. Would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you for hosting us!

Absolutely beautiful accommodation in a perfect location. It’s like your own private beach oasis right on the doorstep of Blacksmiths Beach and Granny’s Pool. The outdoor dining area was our favourite place to sit and enjoy a quiet breakfast and relax for dinner in complete privacy. The amenities are modern and everything you need - we didn’t want to leave! Easily the best place to stay in Blacksmiths!

Cozy place with everything you need to settle right in for either a short stay or a longer holiday. Quiet street and very short walk to the lookout over boat beach down the road. Christine is a lovely person and made a great effort to make sure we were looked after in every way. I would love to stay again

Tania was lovely - really friendly. She was very responsive and provided tips on things to do during the stay. She has the makes herself available if there are any issues (we had a tiny issue with the key, which was resolved immediately), but otherwise ensures that she doesn't intrude on your stay. She is very mindful of this.

The place is great w/ pool. Great staycation place. Do note that you’ll be sharing the building with owner who lives upstairs.

We had a wonderful stay at Josie’s pool house. Everything was excellent. Josie was super friendly and proactive with wonderful recommendations and always available for any requests we had. The pool house is properly relaxing, the pool, hot tub and mini golf were a lot of fun, we enjoyed spending quiet time and star gazing at night while enjoying the hot tub! We enjoyed all the little extras Josie left for us in the pool house too to make our stay extra comfortable. This is an amazing place to stay when visiting Port Stephen’s, fabulously located close to everything but still very private - the view was stunning. We loved Josie’s café where we enjoyed some yummy brunch - thank you for the extra coffee coins! We will definitely recommend!

This is a brilliant find and conveniently located if you’re heading into the wineries. Everything you could wish for was available and catered for. It was spotless and the decor was lovely. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Our second stay with Tye and Emma. Such a comfortable spot, and great hosts! Very friendly and accommodating. Thanks guys!

John's place was absolutely beautiful, very modern with all of the amenities you could ever need! It felt very comfortable and peaceful, I settled in quickly and felt right at home. The place was absolutely spotless and maintained to a high standard. Definite value for money and I wouldn't be surprised if I sought it out again when needing to stay in the area in the future!

My husband and I stayed 3 nights in Craven Tops. On arrival we were greeted by friendly hosts. They left us to explore the delightful property with chooks, veggie garden and lovely views. Although our host’s were close by to assist if needed, they respected our privacy throughout our stay. The cabin had everything we needed and the fireplace provided warmth and atmosphere in the evenings. It was well located to explore the Barrington Tops, Gloucester and Stroud. A quiet and peaceful getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Karen’s place! The guesthouse was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Karen was a kind and thoughtful host - responsive, welcoming, and respectful of our privacy. We truly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and little touches that made us feel at home. Highly recommended!

I LOVED staying in “the den”!! The place was clean and the hosts even put the air con on before I arrived!! The location is great, and so too were the hosts!! They were responsive, friendly and set up the accommodation so that it was spotless! The accomodation had great privacy! I cannot recommend it enough :)))

what a find! no hesitation with this 5 star review. perfectly comfortable in every way. i liked the comfortable bed better than my own. super clean with everything you need. Linda was helpful and responsive when i contacted to let her know we would be arriving late. an extra big thumbs up if you are in the region for mountain bike riding at the Awaba trails. only 10 minute drive to trails. beautiful private property that was quiet, homely and felt very safe. great pub food at lake Macquarie hotel (10 min drive) thanks Linda, will book again for the next mountain bike event!

We loved our stay at Soluna Studio. The hosts were friendly without being intrusive and provided helpful information. They were very responsive, for instance bringing olive oil when we asked! Their dogs are adorable but weren’t intrusive either. The space is surprisingly quiet considering the location. Would stay again.

We had a great time in this beautiful, cozy stay. Would recommend for a beautiful get away.

The space had a cosy, homey feel and communication was clear throughout. The listing had Megan as the host, but we were greeted by Nick and mainly interacted with him. He was warm and friendly and even made us a fire, which was very cool. Their dog barked when we arrived but relaxed quickly, our 4-year-old loved him. We did notice some noise from upstairs (footsteps and muffled conversation), but it wasn’t too loud or disruptive. A pleasant spot for a to stay.

Great spot! Thanks for having us :)

We were so pleased with The Lake House, from sunrise to sunset. Cannot beat that waterfront deck for relaxation and photo opportunies! We were comfortable and felt at home; nice to have home comforts like a dedicated parking spot, a kitchenette, comfortable couch and streaming TV services . Michelle and Jeff communicated clearly, were very firendly and offered local recommendations. Restaurants and shopping were in walking distance, too. This was the weekend we needed. (If there's a next time we must get out with the kayaks!)

A light fresh, spacious, well appointed and private studio in a quiet street that is a minute or so stroll from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our very personable host, Elizabeth. We particularly appreciated the opportunity to walk from Merewether to Bar Beach, stopping for coffee and snacks along the way. There's also an easy walk to The Junction for dinner and supplies.

Loved this place. The spa bath was lovely! Close to Flynn’s beach and a short drive to main beach, restaurants. A really cosy place. Needs instructions on how to operate the blinds though hahaha we figured it after a while.
