Vacation rentals with a kayak in Lake Macquarie

Absolutely stunning property and location, perfect little staycation for my family. The kids were never short of things to do between the lake, pool, huge yard and board games, we loved every minute of being there. Ashay was helpful friendly and the perfect host. We can’t wait to go back

The treehouse is in such a tranquil and beautiful spot. Inside is very cosy and between the wood stove and gas heater it was toasty warm inside on cold evenings. The kitchen is very well set up with everything you could need for cooking and also a good selection of sauces, tea, coffee and staples. The treehouse has been very thoughtfully set up with nice touches like blankets on the balcony. Highly recommended for a relaxing place to get away close to Sydney..we thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Nick was a fantastic host! The place was spotless, well-equipped with everything we needed, and in a perfect location—close to everything but still nice and quiet. Communication was super easy, and Nick was always quick to respond if we had any questions. We were even kindly offered an early check-in without request. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay!

Our holiday at Helen's lakeside property was absolutely fantastic! The location could not have been more perfect, right in front of a serene lake with picture-perfect scenery. The view from the property was breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable stay. The spacious outdoor deck allowed us to fully enjoy the natural beauty around us, whether we were having meals, playing games, or simply soaking in the view. Inside, the house was just as impressive—spacious, immaculate, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that Helen has taken great care in maintaining the property, and it made our family feel right at home. What made this holiday even more special was the fact that it was a multi-generational trip with our children and grandchildren. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company. The property truly provided a perfect setting for family bonding, and we made wonderful memor

Had a perfect stay, house was beautiful & the water was amazing, would be back any day to wake up to that view! House was huge too, also felt like home!

The place offered stunning views, was clean, safe, and fully equipped with all the amenities. There were plenty of activities to enjoy, including table tennis, a pool table, BBQ, and kayaking. We especially loved the house’s design and decor. The host was welcoming and communicated openly.

Cassandra was an amazing host and her place was beautiful. Everything was super clean and she let us check in/out flexibly. The place was very accomodating for our large group stay over the long weekend. The place was fully stocked with everything our group needed for a relaxing stay - fireplace, games, speaker, daybed and outdoor furniture. The bialetti cafeteria was a highlight!

A slice of heaven with the most stunning view.Perfect spot for our family to bond and spend quality time together with the pool, kayaks, outdoor firepit and fishing. The house was spotless which is always so important to me! Hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with. Wyong itself was not the most appealing of towns. Mingara Club about 15mins drice away had some nice meals options.

Well appointed. So many items supplied in kitchen and bathrooms that I have not seen at any other AIRBNB. Easy access. Very clean and well stocked with cleaning items and supplies incase of an accident or spill so you clean up and continue to enjoy your stay. Location close to cafes and restaurants at Lemon Tree Passage. So many recreational items in shed to help you enjoy the coastal location and water ways. Julie took the time to reach out to us when we did not reply to emails as we were travelling and not opening our laptop and lodging in every day about dietary requirements re type of milk to put in fridge. In conclusion well done Julie you are a credit as a super host.

We had an amazing stay! The place was fantastic – clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Kate was incredibly responsive and friendly, making everything super easy. The jetty was a highlight, with plenty of activities to keep us entertained. Highly recommend for a relaxing and fun getaway!

This place is home away from home, there is everything you would want for a great holiday, from life jackets for you and the kids to all you need in the shower. I would recommend Pavla and Luke's accommodation to anyone looking for a great family holiday.

Sophie’s place is a gorgeous spot on the most magical island. Very thoughtfully decorated and every thing you could possibly need for a city escape. Thanks for having us! And thanks for all your tips and recommendations. The live music on Sunday was a treat. Can’t wait to come back soon.

Simone's little cottage was a delight. Loved the location. Was very quiet, although one of our nights the neighbours little dog barked long enough to wake us, but didn't bark all night. I would definitely stay again. I would just advise other guests that are use to a King bed that was our only issue but definitely NOT a deal breaker. Lots of options to sleep separately if its only the 2 of you and simone is aware that you need to use 2 beds. We had an issue with the kettle the first night and Simone dropped a replacement down within 5 mins of me messaging her. Her attention to detail was outstanding. Thankyou Simone for sharing your cottage.

We had a lovely stay at this waterfront property. The views were stunning and the little touches, like a bottle of wine on arrival, were a nice addition. The host was friendly and accommodating making sure we had everything we needed. It’s a great spot for a relaxing getaway and we’d happily stay again!

We had a beautiful stay.. place was well stocked with everything we needed .. thanks

beautiful weekend away. amazing kayaking and active fishing. incredible way to switch off from city life. Will definitely return.

4 days at Captains Cabin was so relaxing. We went kyacking around the island & to Lovetts. Fished off the jetty & caught so many different types of fish. Flathead, Snapper, Brim, Flounder, Whiting... Scotland Island is full of lovely alternate locals wandering by & wildlife.

Fantastic location. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Would love to stay again!

We had a wonderful weekend stay at this beautiful cabin! The location was perfect — right next to the lake, and just a short walk from the Indian Coffee House restaurant, which was a great bonus. The cabin itself was very well-organized, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The peaceful surroundings and proximity to nature made it the ideal getaway. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and conveniently located retreat.

We had a wonderful 3 days in middle of winter. The Chalet was bathed in sunshine all day and we stayed warm all day. The location is extraordinary, right on the water with views of the bay from every window. The perfect spot to watch the sunset. We are looking forward to coming back.

We had a great long weekend stay at Anders' Great Mackeral Cabin. The cabin is a bit tricky to get to with small kids and a bit of luggage but it was an adventure and Anders was extremely helpful in making sure we were well prepared and had everything we needed. Once we were there the cabin had everything we needed and there was plenty to keep everyone entertained and relaxed. The views from the cabin are spectacular and we loved spending some time in the bush and down at the beach. We would definitely travel back to the cabin for another visit.

Awesome place with a super friendly host. Spotlessly clean - cleanest Airbnb I’ve seen! Beach is walkable, and Terrigal’s just a short drive away with plenty to do

Excellent cabin in a lovely tranquil location. Great hosts with everything that you need in the cabin plus more, to have a relaxing time outside of the city. Great for fishing and beach walks, close to amentities if you need to stock up on food too.

We had a lovely weekend away on the river! The house was as described and had everything we needed.
