Holiday rentals with lake access in Lake Macquarie

We absolutely loved our time at Sand Lakehouse! It is a beautiful place to unwind and watch the water; so much bird activity on and around the lake, it was just wonderful. The house itself is spacious and appointed thoughtfully, and there was nothing we lacked. The fire pit made for a fun night of toasting marshmallows and the local ducks provided much entertainment. The bliss of having a cup of tea on the jetty cannot be overstated! Stephen was a responsive and helpful host, and there's even an IGA within walking distance for anything you've forgotten. A great place to stay; we would highly recommend.

We loved out week-long stay at the multi-level home that looks out over Lake Macquarie. The huge windows mean that you can see out in to the treetops and beyond to the lake from wherever you are in the house. Loved the coffee machine and the big kitchen. Every morning the kookaburras would wake us up with a brief greeting.

We had an amazing weekend getaway at this pretty house! The property was peaceful, clean, and just as described, with breathtaking views of the river. We spent our time fishing, kayaking, and even got to drive the boat provided, which was such a unique and unforgettable experience. It really made the trip feel special and adventurous. The host was responsive and made everything from check-in to check-out super easy. A perfect spot to relax, explore, and enjoy nature—highly recommended!

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!!! :)

First time using air bnb, and we were so lucky to of had Sue as our first host. She’s so sweet, welcoming and friendly, the house was perfect, exceptionally clean and comfortable. She already had milk, chocolate, little jams and Vegemite, all the packets of cereals including teas, coffee, sugar and not to mention a fresh loaf of bread and fruit. Beds were super comfy and so was the lounge my husband fell asleep on multiple times, the veranda was massive with a large table and chairs, the view was just spectacular right on the water with its own jetty. Would definitely recommend to anyone, would most definitely be there again Thanks again Sue for having us xXx

Beautiful house with such a great view. House is very spacious and was very easy to find . Crystal was very good and communicated well.

We had an amazing stay at Craig and Veronica's place. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The house was also very close to the lake, so we enjoyed lovely walks by the water with our dogs. The family also had a great time kayaking on the beautiful lake, which was easily accessible. The hosts were always quick to respond. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Great stay at Del's place! Had everything we needed and worked perfectly for our group.

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

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!

Thank you so much Emmanuelle and family. What a beautiful location to explore. Accomodation was lovely and peaceful. Very quiet location. Loved sitting on the verandah having a cup of tea and watching the birds and hearing the ocean. Beds very comfy, beautiful, relaxing space and enjoyed your dog Coco and cat Hazel coming to check on us. Will definately tell my friends about your place, and am sure, when given the opportunity, we will be back.

Wayne & Sheryn’s property is simply superb, we loved it and really enjoyed a lovely few nights nestled in the nice hillside in total peace and quiet. We loved the place and only wished we could stay longer

great clean place to stay. Frank and lynn were so friendly and helpful with local eats and things to do. everything you could ask for. will def be back for more!!!

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.

Absolutely loved our stay! The view was lovely— the perfect backdrop for a peaceful getaway. We spent hours relaxing by the fireplace, which made the whole place feel so cozy and calming. The location is great, with tons of amazing restaurants just minutes away. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this spot

We had an amazing stay! The place was fantastic – clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Kate was incredibly responsive and friendly, making everything super easy. The jetty was a highlight, with plenty of activities to keep us entertained. Highly recommend for a relaxing and fun getaway!

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!

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.

What a gem! Our stay at this stunning cottage was faultless. Elizabeth was a fantastic host, great communication, very accommodating, and gave us excellent local tips (Toronto Hotel for dinner and Mizumi for takeaway were both great). We were spoilt with a welcome gift of wine and chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs, such a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless, beds were super comfy with beautiful linen, and the big fluffy towels, bathroom amenities made it feel like a luxury hotel. All the extras were thought of, oils and seasonings for cooking, even washing capsules and stain remover, a lifesaver when traveling with kids! We fished off the jetty daily (caught a Bream, Flathead, Octopus, Crab, Whiting), used the kayaks, and relaxed in the cosy TV room. We enjoyed the fire pit one night too, with wood provided. The cottage is even better than the photos. 100% recommend and hope to return soon!

What a wonderful place. We loved it from the moment we arrived. Our hosts were so helpful too. We will come back again and again. Amazing place.
