Cottage, Holiday house

This absolute waterfront retreat is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the views of Lake Macquarie from your own private balcony. The perfect getaway for either a family, with it's proximity to the lake, beaches & large yard or a romantic getaway for two.

Lake's Edge Cottage is a 2 Bedroom double storey absolute waterfront property which is newly renovated and furnished. Drive through the garage for access to the water's edge.

A fully self-contained cottage with BBQ & outdoor setting on large balcony overlooking lake. Additional downstairs bathroom with washing machine & dryer.

Enjoy all these activities nearby:

- Beaches: a few minutes drive from Catherine Hill Bay or Caves Beach
- Fishing: cast a line from the backyard!
- Visit the Hunter for some wine tasting
- Table tennis (located downstairs)
- Kids swing & climbing outdoor equipment
- Dining: go for a casual lunch at Catho Pub, new Caves Hotel or neighbouring restaurants at Rafferty's Resort (2 minute drive) or....just kick back & relax with a BBQ on the balcony as you watch the sunset over the lake.
- Boating (tie your boat up at the water's edge in the backyard)
...& for those necessities, there is a local corner shop within walking distance (along the lake's edge), or take a 7 minute drive to Swansea to a supermarket & more restaurants.

For larger groups such as 2 families (or sleeping quarters for the kids), there is also a secluded self-contained boathouse available for rental which is located only 1 metre from the lake's edge & about 70 metres in front of the cottage. Please enquire as to the availability + pricing, as discounts will be offered for combined booking of the Cottage and Boathouse.

Guest Comments:
The location is beautiful - just perfect. We tied our boat up in the back yard and enjoyed coming and going at our leisure. The home is beautifully decorated, well appointed and a pleasure to stay in. Watch out for the kookaburras when you're eating breakfast! Rebecca. Rating: 5/5

Can I just say what a fantastic weekend we have just had at your lovely
house on Lake Macquarie, we will definately be recommending the place to
friends. Mark
