Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Great Lakes Council

Such a lovely getaway with the kids. We all loved the pool table, games and most of all the hot tub! The house was lovely, surrounded by nature. All rooms were comfy. I will note no shampoo, conditioner and body wash was supplied so we had to duck out to grab some. Thanks for the stay! We’d happily stay again.

Our stay at this beautiful home was incredible. The views of the bush and lake are amazing, and all the rooms of the house were stunning. You feel super secluded but with everything close by. Ken was great with communication.

A beautiful place with a beautiful view and surroundings, right on the edge of the lake. Josie was an excellent host throughout our stay with great communication, tips. We’ll be back.

Literally booked at the last minute we felt like we'd won AirBnB lotto. Sally's home was perfect for our needs and was exactly as described. After 7 hrs of driving to be able to strech out on the couch and watch a movie was awesome, have a hot shower and stepping out onto warm tile floor (underfloor heating - like wow. It was 'Home away from Home'. Pristine clean, well equipped kitchen with ample crockery & glassware. Super comfy bed. Will stay again if back in the Hunter Valley again a day would highly recommend.

We had an amazing time at this property! From the moment we booked, Sandy was outstanding—super communicative, incredibly flexible, and genuinely accommodating. She went above and beyond to make our stay special, even hanging up a birthday sign for my father-in-law, which was such a thoughtful touch! The house itself was perfect for our family. The kids were thrilled with the games room—it kept them entertained for hours. We also loved having separate living areas for some quiet time, as well as a spacious communal area where we could all come together and relax. It’s clear Sandy pays attention to the little details that make a big difference. We felt truly welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, and heartwarming getaway!

We loved relaxing in the morning sun on the deck, peaceful kayaking on the lake and the toasty hot tub. All the things for a perfect winter break. The house was spacious and well equipped, with plenty of spots to relax and watch the world go by.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything was just perfect. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we could’ve needed. This was hands-down one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Loved our stay at Driftwood! Perfect size and layout for our three families. We all agreed it was the perfect location as we got to enjoy the beautiful lake views and direct lake access for kayaking, while being only a short drive from a great selection of pristine beaches. We will be back!

The studio was sparkling clean and the bed was really comfy. The reverse cycle AC made the studio cozy on a cold winter weekend and there is a great pub only one block away with excellent food. Cath and Alex were very friendly and helpful both before we arrived as well as during our stay. Overall it was excellent value for money. We had a great weekend and we will be back for our next Newcastle visit.

Really enjoyed our night stay with Maureen - great location with an easy walk to everything you need. Maureen was fabulous to deal with - welcoming on arrival and really helpful throughout our stay. Loved the details of the accomodation.

Stunning views of the beautiful beach and there is a great coffee shop on the same street. The apartment has everything needed for a holiday with family and is very neat and tidy. The fruit and cheese platter on our arrival was so lovely and unexpected. We will be returning!

Our stay with Bree was amazing. Great location and beautiful surroundings with lots of things to see and do around. Bree was a great host and was really friendly and responsive with everything we needed. Would definitely come and stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s place. Everything was as described and such a great location. Jennifer is a great host, very responsive and friendly. We enjoyed our stay so much and would definitely stay again.

Loved the view from the loungeroom & balcony. Everything was neat & tidy. Lots of books, DVDs, etc. Great smart TV. Beds were comfy. Nice & roomy apartment. Well equipped kitchen. Had a lovely time.

Beautiful stay in this cosy, private , peaceful and clean BnB . Walking distance to lovely walk by the water and easy trip over to gorgeous Forster. Sue was so helpful and kind. Loved the much needed wine left in the kitchen. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Beautiful location, stunning views from the balcony! We were even joined by 6 rainbow lorikeets when we arrived. The flat was spotless, easy to access and Brent was a responsive host. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice place with walking distance to the beach. Will definitely come back again during summer time. Loni is very responsive and helpful.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

Absolutely lovely beach-side stay, lots of natural light inside and kept very clean. Cafe, restaurants and chemist within short walking distance. Photos are accurate, homely feels and simple instructions/guest book details. Will book again.

This accomodation was outstanding. Great location and the unit was equipped with everything you needed including some thoughtful items like a coffee machine, condiments in the fridge to a variety of tea and coffee selections. Communication was on point with step by step instructions on how to access the unit and Mark was very reactive to emails. The outlook was amazing, listening to the sound of the waves and the sunsets ❤️. I will be back..

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

hosts were really lovely and even left home made cookies for arrival! Lovely clean apparentment close to the beach and walks. I didn't realise there was no oven so that was the only downside for us but it was great value for the money

Kim’s place was amazing and we thank you so much for an epic stay . Clean , convenient and walking distance to lots of great attractions Thanks Kim

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.
