Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Macquarie

Amazing! Ainslie and Dan were fantastic hosts & the property just delightful, well and truly exceeding our expectations. The property is well furnished, beautifully styled, immaculate and well equipped with everything you could possible need for a relaxing stay. The additional fridge and pantry items were a lovely surprise and meant we could settle in without the need to feel rushed to get the shops. The location was perfect being so close to essential amenities with the views of Lake Macquarie just superb. We particularly enjoyed having our morning coffee out on the balcony watching the sunrise. Thank you Ainslie and Dan for a lovely stay, we hope to be back again soon. Robyn, Sean, Courtney, Steph, Ivy & Lily.

Our stay at the Redhead Beach House was fantastic. The house itself was well designed, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We were welcomed with a platter and wine waiting for us and everything was well stocked and easy to find. Great selection of board games, table tennis and arcade game meant there was plenty to do when we were at the house. The area was beautiful and quiet. A great beach over the road - both our 11 year old daughter and our dog loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend. Thank you Natalie and Collin for your hospitality.

Our stay was simply PERFECT. Lynn is a super host, and the property was so well equiped. I stayed there for a much needed girls night, and we were all amazed at how well stocked the house was and how beautifully renovated and clean. And to top it all off a gorgeous enclosed back garden for my fur baby. We will definitely be back 🙌

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Donna’s. Donna is always very helpful. We love the peacefulness and the lakeside view

We had a wonderful one-night stay at this lovely Airbnb. Morgan was very nice: from the warm welcome to thoughtful little touches that made the house feel like home. The location is fantastic, with easy access to the restaurants and stores, yet tucked away enough to be peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a bit of heart in the stay.

This was such a lovely beach home, the kind you dream of! It was wonderful having views of the water from every corner of the home. Everything in the home was beautiful and thoughtfully furnished. We tried kayaking and fishing and enjoyed it very much. The boys enjoyed playing on the lawn outside and the husband prepared a simple bbq on the patio. The kitchen was also very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will definitely be recommending friends over!

Peaceful and relaxing place right on the river. Clean and cosy house. Kev and Kez were quick with responding to the messages. Would love to come back again.

This is such a good spot. Walking distance to the pub and cafes (500m), though we Ubered everywhere as it was a really cold weekend. Laura had the air on before we arrived, so we walked into a warm house, which we were very grateful for. The house has more than enough of everything you need and is neat and tidy with a huge ensuite. Would recommend this place as a great find.

All the guest said they would enjoy returning to this accommodation. We really appreciated Donna‘s accommodating nature and the cleanliness of this beautiful minimal space. Thank you!

This place was the perfect place to stay while attending a birthday party nearby. We were continually entertained by the attention to detail and thoughtful inclusions to make our stay enjoyable. Spinning the old vinyls on the original 1960s record player was fun. Especially loved the old Beach Boys album. Good vibrations all round! A fun, funky and different place to stay.

Great stay, Beautiful views. Perfect getaway for the weekend

Bernadette’s place is a great find! Beautiful view overlooking the pool and lake, and the complimentary coffee/tea/cookies were a nice touch. Bed was also super comfy! Would definitely stay here again

Great host, excellent communication and location. Our worker very much enjoyed his stay in Steve's lovely accommodation. Highly recommended.

Great value for money, the QT hotel is just down the road, but much preferred the space and amenities available in the apartment. Plus the price was much better. Beautifully styled with quality inclusions. Location was fantastic, we took bicycles and thoroughly enjoyed the harbour and coastal tracks.

A comfortable apartment within walking distance of bars and restaurants. Nicole is an excellent and thoughtful host and we highly recommend the apartment.

Sarah’s Wren’s Nest was perfect. It is exactly as described in photos and words. Despite its size, It is comfortable, secure, convenient and easy to access. The bed and sofa are comfortable and there is plenty of space for clothes. The shower is roomy and clean. A suitcase stand is provided. Sarah responded to a question quickly. Despite being downtown, it was actually quiet. The black out curtain plus privacy screen kept the apartment dark at night. The beaches and harbor are very close with the beach/harbor tram only a block away. The apartment is on the Hunter mall, so there is a bakery, coffee shop, restaurant, chemist, quick mart and restaurant on the block, but the downtown area surrounds the apartment so you are never far from anything you might need or want. Entry is via key and fob, so I suggest you have a key chain to keep it secure. All in all a very nicely appointed apartment, downtown near harbor and beaches.

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

Loved this place, the host and the parkland around. Very convenient. Perfect independent little cottage with all amenities needed. Look forward to returning.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

This stay was amazing. It had all the amenities you needed for a nice weekend away and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The host was very kind and responded to messages promptly. Would highly recommend this stay.

Definitely recommend staying here, we will be rebooking in the future

Kim’s place was amazing and we thank you so much for an epic stay . Clean , convenient and walking distance to lots of great attractions Thanks Kim

We were so impressed to find such beautiful accommodation that was pet friendly right in the middle of Newcastle! The accommodation was clean, aesthetically lovely, with little touches to make everything special. Keran provided everything you could possibly want or need including lovely snacks, beach towels, coffee and tea, books and much more. I would definitely recommend accommodation and will book in again and again :)
