3/5 Okay

"The place was nice and big enough for 3 families with kids, however needs a lot of updates. The beds were terribly uncomfortable and loudly squeaked every time you moved. The bath was too small to use for kids baths. The kitchen utensils that were there were very dirty and some unusable. The knives didn’t cut. The pots and pans are so old that food stuck to them. No tongs. We bought food for a bbq dinner but couldn’t make it as there is no light outside. Also no heating in 2 of the bedrooms or the bathroom. "

Serendipity Lake House - on the water's edge

5/5 Excellent

Quiet Haven

"Amidst the rushing around for a wedding, this place was a restful oasis away from the pressures of the world.We had a small issue when we arrived - we had the wrong access code - but it was sorted quickly and it was a very pleasant stay. We spent a lot of the afternoons down by the water, relaxing. We played some frisbee in the back yard and had fun watching the fish jumping out of the water and the varied bird life around the region.Highly recommend."

The House on the Lake @ Fishing Point, Lake Macquarie - honestly put the line in and catch fish

4/5 Good

Beautiful location

"This is our second stay in this spacious, airy, beautiful spot so clearly we love it. The only issues are the usual minor frustrations- no sharp knives, window not able to be opened, no music options that we could locate or work, grill tray not working, milk frother not working. We like to cook so these things matter but if you go out to eat or get take away, no problem. Also one of the beds was squeaky and another had slats falling out of the bottom of it. Minor issues as I said bit noteworthy. Otherwise terrific. Thank you."
