Holiday rentals with breakfast in Great Lakes Council

Gail was a wonderful host. We had one of our best Airbnb experiences. The property is quiet and beautiful in the countryside, which is exactly what we looked for. The kitchen is large and fully equipped, and Gail also supplies breakfast ingredients.

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 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 loved our stay! Perfect location for a weekend of wineries and lots of space for babies and dogs to explore. We would love to come back and stay again :)

Our family of eight adults enjoyed our weekend in Pokolbin. We enjoyed the view to the mountains from the balcony and the large yard with three rustic chipping greens to practice our golf. The house was spacious and the ducted air-conditioning provided warmth during some cold winter weather. The BBQ are was also excellent. The property is walking distance to a few cellar doors and a nearby restaurant provided a free shuttle service for convenience. Melissa was a wonderful host and made every effort to ensure we had an enjoyable stay.

The house was absolutely spotless, very clean and comfortable- a home away from home. Loved the extra touches of bacon/eggs in fridge for breakfast, and washing liquid etc. Also plentiful kitchen utensils/ cooking equipment. The owner also turned heating on for us so house was toasty on arrival. Multiple TVs so family could spread out which was great! Found the house to have the extra touches that many air bnbs don’t provide- we were there for State Rugby, so at the end of a long day was lovely to have such a comfortable house to relax in. Would highly recommend this property.

This house was perfect while working locally and thank you for accommodating me. Had everything I needed and more. Is a great space and I enjoyed being able to work on my computer with that view of the water.

Beautiful views and very peaceful! Nathan was excellent with communication, very responsive and helpful. The place is even more stunning than in the photos. The only downside was that the coffee machine didn’t work, and the kitchen amenities could use an update. There weren’t enough wine glasses, bowls, etc., for the number of guests the house accommodates. Also, it’s best to have a 4x4 vehicle to access the property, especially if it’s been raining. That said, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend it!

Mary is a wonderful host, helpful and personable. Mary provides breakfast if required and beautiful chocolates on arrival. Her place was spotless, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The garden is beautiful and there is room to sit and reflect outside. We would love to come back to Mary’s unit. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Robyn and Paul.

Not only was the space fun and pretty, Jean thoughtfully provided fresh fruit, milk, snacks and breakfast foods for our use. So perfect!

I treated my son and his girlfriend to a weekend getaway, and since it was their first trip to the area, Sue was incredibly helpful with recommendations that made their stay both smooth and enjoyable. The kids had a great time, and the place was exactly as described. If I ever make it to the area myself, I’ll definitely be staying here.

Really enjoyed our night stay with Maureen - great location with an easy walk to everything you need. Maureen was fabulous to deal with - welcoming on arrival and really helpful throughout our stay. Loved the details of the accomodation.

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.

Absolutely loved our stay in this cosy, clean, and super quiet home in Greta. Perfectly located just 15 minutes from the wineries, it was the ideal base for a busy wedding weekend. The property is peaceful and beautifully maintained – we only wish we had more time to enjoy it! There were horses and a little sausage dog named Wonka who definitely deserve a shoutout. We’ll be back

We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s lovely property! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. Jan was a fantastic host — warm, welcoming, and always quick to respond if we had any questions. One of the highlights of our stay was meeting Andie, Jan’s beautiful dog. Andie is incredibly friendly and well-behaved — she made us feel even more at home. Thank you, Jan, for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home (and Andie!) with us. We would absolutely love to come back again.

Judy had the heater and lights on for us when we arrived, met us and helped us enter the apartment. We immediately felt at home and we also felt looked after. This accommodation is too cheap! It had all of the special touches of home !

We had a fantastic stay at Brad’s place! The house was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Brad was a wonderful host — super responsive, thoughtful, and very accommodating throughout our stay. The location was perfect and everything was just as described. We truly appreciated all the little touches that made the place feel like home. Highly recommend staying here — we’d love to come back again soon! Thanks so much again, Brad!

Had a great stay at Willa @ Mangrove mountain . Location was perfect, the place was just perfect for two of us. Most of all the surroundings, and all our furry and feathery friends were great company.. we had a great time feeding Daisy and all the chooks but most of all lil cheeky PJ … such a cute girl and loved her company. Darren and Kim were great hosts , very responsive and the place is just great to unwind, relax and get away from the city and relax around nature.

Highly recommend if you need some time to yourself, the room is stunning, private and has everything you need to relax. All the goodies offered are delicious. Beverly is such a beautiful lady who makes the stay extremely comfortable with her friendly nature.

Beautiful place with so many details to make you feel right at home. Great local breakkie including farm eggs, local bacon, organic granola, biscuits, milk, spreads, coffee tea and a bottle of wine with chocolates. I love when hosts go the extra mile to make your stay special. Beds very comfy, each room had its own private ensuite bathroom. Surroundings are very peaceful. Only con is that the place has no internet reception. Host advised this in advance, but is worth noting. Great stay!

Ian and Sandy were very hospitable and lovely people. The Airbnb was even nicer than the photos. Lots of extras included. Many breakfast cereals to choose from. Milk, jam etc. The bed was very comfortable with beautiful linen. Reclining leather chair was a lovely bonus. A really comfortable and spacious space to relax in. Outdoor area was a nice touch, with a well looked after garden to enjoy. The place was nicely furnished. Walking distance to Bar Beach and Newcastle East beach. Darby Street was close by with so many eateries. A perfect spot to enjoy for 5 days.

Anne's place was cosy and comfortable and impeccably clean and organised. Close to beaches and attractions in a gorgeous part of the world. Anne had great communication and the place had everything I needed. Perfect for my one night stay. Highly recommend ✨

Leah went over and above to ensure our stay was perfect. The place was spotless the extras Leah provided we wouldn’t have eaten in a week and the location was superb. I can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be a return visitor.

Laurel is a very warm, kind & engaging host. She made my stay very relaxing. The air b n b is beautiful, very clean & it's the little touches that made it very relaxing. It's in a prime location, whether you want to walk to the water, shops or if you want to drive to some amazing sunsets at Gan Gan lookout. I would definitely book Laurel's air b n b again. Thank's for a lovely few days away Laurel.
