Fantastic accoms.
Beautiful and conveniently located , yet just enough off the busy areas to have your own little bit of awesome to enjoy.
Main house is fresh and clean with nice breezes from east and west.
The Boathouse Cottage is beyond expectations and is a must for family or larger groups. You won’t regret hiring.
Bruce is straightforward and pleasant to deal with either by msg or old school phone call.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful lake front location!
The pictures don’t do this place justice. We stayed for a weekend with the kids and they spent all day in and on the water. The boathouse was the highlight for us right on the lake front. The kitchen and house was clean and well equipped with plenty of pantry ingredients. There was no wifi which was advertised in the listing but we didn’t really miss it as there was enough entertainment and dvds for kids to relax after a long day on the lake. Highly recommend it! Thanks Bruce would love to stay here again.

Good value and location
Really good value for a family of 6 and 3 friends. The sunset view at the boathouse is terrific. We can launch our kayaks from the yard. Very well supplied cooking pots, pans and utensils. The kids like the ping pang table and the fire pit in the yard. All in all, very good place to chill and relax for a family.

We were able to pull our kayaks up on the lawn and leave them there so easy for many paddles over the week. Sunsets amazing from the little deck of the boat house but not as much to see from the deck of main house as the trees blocked most of Lakeview. But the trees are beautiful too!House very clean and tidy and beds comfy.

Perfect family lakeside property
This would have to be the best lakeside property we have ever booked. Both the main home and boathouse properties are very well equipped, clean and had not just the basics but ANYTHING you would need to ensure you had the what you would need for your stay. Even their kitchen knives were actually sharp! You just need to bring your food and fishing gear and you're set for your stay. The kids very much enjoyed their stay as they were able to use the property's kayak, table tennis and outdoor playground... not to mention the calm water of the lake to go swimming. You can go fishing right in-front of the boathouse and sit by the deck with your choice of bevvy and enjoy the view. The whole family really enjoyed the stay and we are looking forward to booking the property in the future again. Bruce, thank you for making your properties absolutely perfect!

Location is amazing
Fishing was so easy - just wandering down to the Lakes edge through the back yard
Shops and eating out are a short drive away or you could cook your own in the full kitchen
A quintessential holiday weekender

Fabulous place to enjoy the lake and nearby beaches.
This place is a gem. Having now been twice (now with older teenagers) we appreciate how versatile this property is.
The renovated Boathouse is divine and the most amazing spot to watch the sunset. The cottage is beautifully presented with lots of living space (and gorgeous verandah). A place to make treasured family memories!

Beautiful!
We had such a lovely stay at Lakes Edge Cottage. It’s very clean, quiet and comfortable. Bruce is fantastic to deal with and makes the stay very easy.
Our boys had the best holiday fishing, playing soccer in the front yard, playing table tennis, roasting marshmallows over the outdoor fire pit and playing on the playground equipment. We will definitely be back!

Awesome and Tranquil near the water
A terrific place to stay. It had all we could ask for and more.Very clean and well kept with plenty of room. Loved the air con, very comfy beds, dishwasher and having a table tennis table to play on. Especially loved the fire pit which we used and toasted marshmallows. Gorgeous view from the balcony. So close to Swansea and not too far from other towns. Would recommend this to anyone who wanted a beautiful, relaxing holiday at Lake Macquarie.

Very clean comfortable and pleasant
It is a lovely cottage. We brought our fishing kayak and my son caught some fish. The view from main bed room is also so good that you can just stay in bed all day and read books in rainy days. Our family had a very relaxing weekend. Thank you!
