Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Lake Macquarie

10/10 highly recommend and would stay there again. Fully stocked with lots of games and activities for both kids and adults. We experienced both sunny and rainy days, where we were either at the beach or in Michelle's pool, or indoors playing pool or board games. House was very clean and had space for everyone, including our dog. Umina shops were close by, and the beach was walking distance. Michelle's house is beautiful and homey, we felt comfortable and right at home. Thanks for having us!

Amy’s place was amazing and exactly as described. It was so clean we thought it had just been renovated, not a spot anywhere. Everything was well kept in cupboards, the beds were made really well and rooms really tidy. The living areas were well presented and the bathrooms looked and smelled clean with fresh towels on the beds. The kitchen was also fully equipped with everything you could need. It’s in a great location only 10 minute drive from Newcastle, the beaches and restaurants and the residential area is very quiet at night. Amy is also very responsive and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone thinking about it. We will definitely return if we are visiting Newcastle again in the future.

We loved our stay. Justin was so lovely! House was equipped with all your needs to cook, kick back, relax and soak in the most stunning view. Very spacious, never felt crowded (we were a group of 12), we went there to relax and that's exactly what we did. Justin is super friendly and accommodating and genuinely wants you to have a good time while there. This is an absolute waterfront property- it meant the kids can nap/early bed time and you can still be with everyone soaking in the view. We barely left the house (other than to buy groceries), it was just perfect,

The house was beautiful and very accommodating for our family. Jeff and Ilana are great hosts and vey quick to respond to requests and questions, access and directions to the house was clearly explained, and the house itself was exactly what is described in the profile. The location is so peaceful and picturesque, the place was clean and a lot of basic pantry needs provided. We especially loved the outdoor area. The day bed on the back deck, kayaks, fishing off the jetty and enjoying a fire by the river at night were definitely stand out elements of this property.

This is a fantastic home with a beautiful backyard and plenty of space. It is very modern and there are great cafes across the road! Armando was also a very accommodating and helpful host! I recommend this property to anyone looking to stay near Newcastle.

Ross's home was simply a delight! Comfortable, quiet (except for the morning Kookaburra wake up laugh!) ... a small walk down the side stairs onto a beautiful quiet beach with a great pub/cafe/restaurant to deliver all you need for a relaxing weekend away. Ross is an excellent host who went beyond and made sure we were able to recover personal items that we mistakenly left behind. 5 star location matched by a very hospitable host. Thank you Ross.

Our family loved staying in this beautiful, peaceful, clean and relaxing home. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was a game changer and the heated pool was hard to leave! The hosts were wonderful to deal with. We highly recommend this AirBNB.

I had a wonderful stay at this serene and picturesque property. The tranquil atmosphere and stunning views made it a perfect getaway. One of my favorite experiences was collecting fresh eggs in the morning to cook breakfast – such a unique touch! I would recommend bringing or locating mosquito repellent right away, as the lush greenery around the house attracts quite a few mosquitoes. The host does provide mosquito repellent, but it’s stored in the cabinet, so it’s worth checking for it as soon as you arrive. The highlight of my stay was the kindness of the neighbors. I borrowed a pair of boots to walk down to the river, and a lovely woman next door went out of her way to find the right size for me. Although I didn’t catch her name, I deeply appreciated her helpfulness. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I would love to return. Thank you for sharing this lovely property!

Stunning location at quieter end of the beach. Fantastic.

Amazing stay in Terrigal! Beautiful space, great ocean view, and close walking distance to everything. Tim was very responsive and ensured our check-in was a breeze. We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend this lovely home!

We had a great one night stay for a birthday with a few ladies. The back deck was perfect for a champagne and nibbles. Very relaxing. We were there to see a show at Avoca Theatre and found we needed transport to take us to our destination. Finding Ubers was difficult in this area. All in all was a very lovely place to stay. Sally was very quick in communicating which made our check in simple. Would suggest Sally’s place 100%. The ducks in the morning was a lovely experience, so cute. Thank you Sally we will visit again.

Lovely apartment for a couple. Kitchen was well kitted out and a great view from the balcony. A spacious bathroom with an excellent shower.

We had a great stay overall—the place was clean, comfortable, cozy, and in a really convenient location. However, there was a small issue that impacted our comfort: even though there were four of us staying, only two bath towels were provided. Aside from that, everything else was lovely, and the host was responsive and polite and we’d consider staying here again!

A fantastic host with exceptional communication. Ed & Kerry were incredibly responsive to all our inquiries, made check-in seamless, and provided thoughtful recommendations for local restaurants. The apartment was clean and perfectly located right on the water. We felt welcomed and would definitely stay here again

There is no place better in Newcastle ! Amanda as a host is second to none ! We’ll keep coming back :)

I met Madison in person for key pickup. Madison is really friendly and an amazing host. The apartment is gorgeous. It’s so much better than the photos and way bigger than I thought it would be. The tv in the lounge room is massive. Although I didn’t really have the time to actually use it, I bet it would make for a great movie night in. Absolutely in love with the size of the kitchen, amazing! Easy to find designated tandem carpark so you can take up the whole space or park two cars, one in front of the other. Great video intercom system. Easy lift access with swipe or you can buzz your guest up using the intercom. Only have to take one lift from basement to 3rd floor. The apartment is 30 seconds walk from the gym and the pool. The only fault, I was not a fan of the washer dryer combo, takes too long to dry, better off hanging out your washing to dry. But that’s so minor compared to how great this apartment is. Would love to stay again. Thanks Madison

My large group had a pleasant stay. Large front/backyard and plenty of beds and seating for dining for our group. Only downfall was there’s no air con in some bedrooms but they do provide some fans. Recommend the house and great location to many attractions like the long jetty & the entrance!

Many thanks for having us. Trinkeyroo is a beautiful property. Hoping we are lucky enough to be able to stay again on a future trip to the Hunter Valley.

This place is magical. We returned a second year in a row and this time was even better. If you want to get off the grid and forget Covid, masks and all the stresses of life, the Villa doesn’t disappoint!

Beautiful accommodation and great location - reminds me of being in the Canadian mountains. The place was very clean and in good condition. Super easy to get there. One thing I will note is that we were stuck getting in the door for a few minutes as after you put the code in you have to lift the door handle up which confused us but otherwise all good.

The most amazing space, so close to the beach, honestly had the most amazing time, would recommend to anyone! So lovely for bigger groups as such an amazing house, 10/10

Matt's place is beautifully located to enjoy all that the Hunter Valley has to offer. It was very peaceful, surrounded by hills and vines. Kangaroo were jumping past and there were black cockatoos in the trees. We enjoyed family dinners around the large dining table. The house is well designed with two bedrooms in one part and two in another. We were very comfortable.

Ariel was a great host and the house was amazing. The house was very clean and had all the necessary appliances with a bonus ice machine. The game room was spacious.

The photos are extremely accurate, lovely two bedroom villa. We had a very relaxing time here, plenty of books and a few games to choose from to keep ourselves entertained as well. Aircon and fans in the bedrooms and living rooms. A well appointed villa in a lovely part of the world
