Lake Macquarie Hotels

"We booked this place for 3 nights in early September for a family holiday. It was a lovely stay with breath-taking sunset views of the lake. Our parents were very impressed. We only ended up using 3 of the 5 bedrooms and there were no complaints. Didn't use sofa bed or single beds. The house is tucked away at the end of a driveway in a quiet street. The driveway leads to a foreshore reserve. It was serene and we basically remained undisturbed. Friendly warning: the neighbour next door owns two dogs. The listing somehow says indoor pool - there is no such thing. We did not use the pool as the weather wasn't warm enough. There were few leaves scattered. According to the info pack sent before arrival, the pool is not open for winter (reopens Sept school holidays). Firewood was provided as promised but we did not get to use it. We had to bring our own portable high chair but the dining chairs were incompatible due to the design. When we arrived, the house was cleaned recently. however, my husband noted that the carpet felt a little 'sticky' in the ensuite. On our last night, there were clusters of mosquitoes/bugs lingering around the ceiling and walls of the main hallway even though all doors and windows remained closed throughout day. Probably entered through air vents.Loved the centralised aircon/heating. Someone left a chunk of washing powder in the wrong compartment - had to clean before putting my own laundry liquid. Hot water shower temp tricky to adjust. "

"Clean, tidy and organised with magnificent viewHost was really flexible and friendly "

"Beautiful old property. Unbeatable views. Beautifully kept and homely. Clean as. "

"Very relaxing"

"Great location and stunning views. Enough space for 10 adults and 4 children. Unfortunately there are maintenance issues in the property. We had issues with the drainage in the main shower probably due to a blockage from hair. Toilet roll holders missing and the garden was in a very poor state. The pool was great , clean and ready for use. Kitchen was well equipped. Some of the single beds had broken slats and average mattresses. The level of cleanliness wasn’t at the standard I would have expected The property just needs some maintenance. We had an issue on arrival which was very quickly addressed and fixed by the property management. Very much appreciated the quick response. Overall, our family had a great weekend together. We appreciated being given early access and a later checkout without being charged extra. "

"Amazing location. Felt like home away from home "

"Inside the property was lovely, everything you could possible need for a large group is provided and didnt disappoint especially the common areas and the comfortable beds. Unfortunately the outside maintenance was well below standard. Green mold stains on the outside of the house the gardens full of weeds, cigarette butts in the courtyard and old lawn mowers left in the parking spots. Also the pond at the rear of the property has a dilapidated bridge which is un safe and the pond is stagnant creating a mosquito haven.the sitting areas closer to the water are ready for the bin and the ground is covered in glass.
