Tranquil lakeside retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked "the place" for a relaxing getaway weekend and it was just that. A lovely location by the lake with a nice walk behind the house accessed through the back gate. Dog friendly and lots of birds. The house was clean and fully equipt with lovely bedrooms.

Great Place for a multi generation holiday

We had a great stay at The Place! The location was gorgeous. The house was well equipped with the sorts of things that make a holiday run smoothly - from the kitchen to the pool the things on hand were just great.

Great home for a group in a great location

We were a group of 6 and the home was very spacious with a great pool close to the shops. Lots of plates and cutlery for group dining. Kaitlyn was great with communication. It was a great group getaway home and we hope to visit again soon.

Fantastic Summer break!

We had such a great 5 nights. The kids barely left the pool but did go out kayaking once and enjoyed that too. The house is large enough that you can get away from each other as there are two living rooms. We ate upstairs on the deck using the bbq and looking out at all the lovely greenery. We did visit two beaches but could easily have stayed at the house with the pool! The house is not so done up that you feel nervous having your kids there but it is just the right amount of space and plenty of facilities to keep all ages busy or relaxed, depending on what you want. We did a big shop before leaving Sydney so the local shops were fine for any last minute top ups. I'm still thinking about floating in the pool - it was a really easy, fun family holiday.

Excellent location between Newcastle and Sydney!

Our extended family visited The Place for my Dad's 70th birthday. The house worked well for our ten guests and it was great that our dog Rex, jokingly Dad's 'favourite' member of the famly was welcome as well! The pool and proximity to the lake provided additional fun memories for our weekend stay.

A lovely spot for a family weekend. Plenty to do and and fantastic facilities in the house.

The only disappointment was not getting to use the pool as it was green but probably unavoidable due to the severe weather.

Perfect location, Perfect home, Perfect holiday!

We had a perfect summer holiday, the house is spacious with lots of great/thoughtful touches. Excellent for groups or families - our teenager even enjoyed it, so it must be good - right? The location is fantastic, a short stroll through gardens to get to the lakeshore, and the local "Bowlo", a corner store, butcher and a bakery are only a 7min walk away. The pool was fantastic, we spent every day in it! The house is excellent for pets, as its fully fenced, and the owners have thoughtfully provided some doggy necessities in case you forget... The only caution I would suggest is for those with guests who may be elderly (parents/grandparents), or mobility limited - as the main lounge is upstairs (where the Air-Con & big TV are), but Kitchen and most bedrooms+bath are downstairs. We had an amazing week long holiday there, and we honestly didn't want to leave! We will return next Summer for sure...!

Amazing family getaway

This was an amazing house for a family holiday in a spectacular location by the water. The house was fantastic and very clean and also had very comfortable beds. This house had absolutely everything we needed for our family holiday and our kids had the best time, we would recommend staying at this property to families of all ages who love the water and ocean. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in this amazing house in an even better location.

Awesome place for family relaxation

This is a wonderful property so unwind and relax at. We did not leave at all during our 4 day stay, we simply enjoyed the pool, the AC upstairs, watched the cricket and played games. The Place has everything you need and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Family Getaway

We were looking for a house not too far from home and that could accommodate all the family and THE PLACE fitted our criteria. The living area upstairs was especially nice with a lovely deck overlooking the tropical surrounds and the pool area. Beds were comfortable and kitchen very well stocked with everything you would need. Highly recommend for a family getaway.
