Lakeside Getaway is a waterfront property on the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, only 1 hour north of Sydney. Relax in a quiet neighborhood, and take in the view, especially the sunsets over the lake with the mountains in the distance. Enjoy the comforts of a modern home with open plan living and a 15 meter long balcony where you can entertain outdoors while taking in the lake views. Shops are a 2-minute drive away.
Our home is not a party house, and the property is all nonsmoking.
The space
Welcome to Lakeside Getaway where you can enjoy the spectacular lake views from both inside and outside the home.
Relax on the balcony or in the electric reclining chairs in the lounge room or enjoy water activities on the lake. The waterfront reserve just in front of the house provides opportunities for playing lawn games, or fishing from the shore.
A popular fishing spot is the CRU Lake Mac baths, only 400 metres away along the waterfront reserve.
If cooking is your thing, you can do that in the modern, well-equipped kitchen with numerous cooking appliances. We have provided a Nespresso coffee pod machine and will supply you with a starting pack until you can purchase your own pods from Coles, which is only a 2-minute drive away.
If you prefer cooking outside, there is an outdoor kitchen with a 4-burner barbecue, side burner and a sink. One section of the BBQ has a tub where you can store your drinks in ice.
The study could well have the best view of any home office in the country! Enjoy the expansive ever-changing view while you 'work'! There is plenty of desk workspace for 2 people to use at once.
