Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Great Lakes Council

Lovely cottage surrounded by nature, nice room and great time for hot tub too, a perfect place for the quiet retreat time or weekend getaway 💦🌳☀️ Scott is very responsive, friendly and super helpful for all accomodation related questions plus providing his recommendation for local bushwalk is a bonus :) Highly recomended and I'd definitely visit again 🌟

Mick and Esti were amazing host and very friendly. They set up the sauna for us and showed us how to use the ice bath plus gave us tips how to use the braai! An amazing place to sit down and wind down with friends and family.

Thanks so much for having us. The place was as described and in a great location. James was super responsive and friendly. House was cozy and clean. Thanks for answering all of my questions and saving us from a rainy camp trip!

We loved Naomi's place and we've stayed in many Airbnbs across the world for over 10 yrs. It's where we'll stay if we return to Shoal Bay. The house sits in an area where locals live but feels like a dedicated vacation home once you're there. The vibe was as pictured - bright, white, clean and stylish. Not "lived in" or cluttery, as if you're just borrowing someone's personal home. We have two teens so I intentionally gave up beach proximity for space, style, and price. The perks were more than worth it for our situation and we still walked to the beaches anyway because they aren't that far for adults who can carry their own stuff. Probably wouldn't brave it with toddlers without a beach cart and stroller. Outdoor showers, fire pit, large yard, stylish interior, comfy beds , linens provided, great bathrooms, ease of entry, quick reponse time with questions, all at the price point we needed. Zero complaints.

Most beautiful place we've ever stayed. amazing views, beautiful interior and kangaroos at dawn and dusk. Very close to the main town/ wineries. 100% will come again!

Beautifully renovated, close to vineyards and amenities. Comfortable beds and lounge and very well equipped kitchen private backyard. Would thoroughly recommend if you are interested in visiting the hunter valley wine region.

We were a group of four. We had a booking for Peats Bite for lunch. It was in a great location for that. It was very quiet and peaceful. Beautifully decorated. Lots of plates and platters to use. Well equipped. We played Jenga which was fun. Bring a book or fishing rods as there isn’t much to do but to chill out and relax. We used the Hawkesbury River Water Taxi to get there. Would stay again.

This is more than a beach shack! There is everything you need, as well as a beautiful interior, surroundings and location. I would definitely stay here again. Had the best time :)

Clara's home is beautiful. It's in a peaceful location and the permaculture backyard is stunning. We woke up one morning to see a roo in the garden! Clara is incredibly friendly and a great host.

Stella and Ian’s place was absolutely gorgeous with high ceilings and beautiful art and rugs creating a cosy but spacious atmosphere. The place was spotless and Stella accommodated us for a last minute booking with late arrival. Thanks for having us.

Great place to stay, well presented and beautiful surroundings. Friendly neighbours

The apartment was lovely, fresh and clean. It was a pleasure to open the door and see a lovely apartment with new finishes. The location was perfect and a short walk to the beach and other walking tracks. It had everything we needed and more, Gerard left a few treats for us as well, including chips, chocolate and wine! We could not have asked for anything more. Thankyou for a lovely experience!

Yantra has a beautiful house and a lovely properly. It was a wonderful stay, so peaceful. I would definitely come back! Communication was great and the environment was so welcoming.

Alex was quick to respond and her place was perfect for our family. We had a quick 2 night stay and her accommodation was exactly what we needed. Super clean, beach 1 min walk, and cute coffee shops close by. Would definitely recommend.

it's really beautiful place. we liked it. nice kitchen and liked it. beautiful. took us sometime how to make the sofa to bed. for three people is the ideal.

my dog Delta and I had the best time staying at Jacaranda cabin. Fiona was most accommodating and respected our privacy through our stay. I highly recommend this stay if you are looking to escape the world and be surrounded by beautiful nature. My dog was most welcome and great to have her by my side.

Gina was a lovely host, very responsive, left clear instructions and presented a clean, unique and cozy cabin accommodation. Me and my wife spent 3 nights over the Anzac 2025 long weekend with our two cattle dogs and loved that it was pet friendly, close to the cider houses (Bilpin & Hillbilly Cider), private and overall a beautiful property. It had its own undercover parking spot as well which made it easy to come and go even when raining. If we are ever stay in the Bilpin area again we will definitely remember the Cozy Cabin or recommend to friends!

Great cabin located inside the Eaglereach Wilderness retreat. This particular cabin was nice and private, tucked away from the other houses. It had everything we needed for a comfy stay, and enough games to keep our kids entertained on a VERY rainy day! The facilities in the complex are great too: pool, outdoor gym, playground, small dam (for paddling), tennis court and rec room with pool table and ping pong table. A great holiday spot, all within east reach of Sunday. Sensational views too!

2nd year here for her annual girls weekend absolutely perfect great location beautiful host and everything as described. Great price for a relaxing time.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and felt at home straight away! The hosts went above and beyond with all the little touches throughout the property including pizza kits and homemade granola (Prue even went out her way to make me a gluten free version). We also had a lovely massage by Kate which was the perfect way to relax. The house is in a very peaceful area, close to beautiful blue mountain trails, we thoroughly enjoyed our break and would very much recommend!

Georgia's & Peter’s Cabin is the perfect private getaway for couples! Arrival was made very easy, no silly key lock boxes or codes. The cabin was clean and tidy. They also went above and beyond, gifting us wine, bacon and eggs. We had a lovely stay here and will be returning!

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

Loved our stay at June’s little private sanctuary. We absolutely loved the privacy and tranquility. Wallabies were adorable and it was definitely surreal waking up to them at our deck, patiently waiting for food. King parrots were beautiful. We enjoyed the short bush walk, though it was definitely tougher than it looks and offered a good challenge (take this city girl’s words with a pinch of salt for the experienced bush walkers!) We were initially intimidated by the drive in but managed it with a normal sedan. Definitely emerged well recharged. Well recommend it for anyone who needs a break from the city!
