Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Great Lakes Council

Lovely stay in Smiths lake, feel like you’re up in the trees. Note there is a steep driveway and many stairs to get into the home.

Our stay at this beautiful home was incredible. The views of the bush and lake are amazing, and all the rooms of the house were stunning. You feel super secluded but with everything close by. Ken was great with communication.

A beautiful house in a fantastic spot near Birubi beach and the Tomaree Coastal walk. The layout is great and the house is very stylish. The spa was awesome. Seem small at first but really deep and heats up within 2.5 hours. Plenty of space in the house for a family of 5. Walkable to Birubi beach (10 mins) which is patrolled with a cafe and is great for boogie boarding. Join the coastal walk only 1 min walk away, bring hiking boots as can be a bit muddy/rocky.

This is by far one of the most comfortable air bnb s we have stayed at. Beautiful property. Exactly as listed. Perfect for a stop over after a lengthy drive with my family. Thanks again

A great property to base yourself while in Shoal Bay. 10 minute walks into Shaol Bay, or to the beaches. To have Wreck beach 10 minute walk from your door is fantastic. Beds are extremely comfortable and the house was perfect for what we wanted. If we do get the opportunity to visit Shoal Bay again, we defiantly hope to stay here again.

This is the second time I have stayed here and it is a beautiful home for a weekend away for one as a retreat or for a family getaway. Thoroughly enjoyable.

We loved relaxing in the morning sun on the deck, peaceful kayaking on the lake and the toasty hot tub. All the things for a perfect winter break. The house was spacious and well equipped, with plenty of spots to relax and watch the world go by.

We had a fantastic stay at this property in Hawks Nest, it was one of the best places on our trip! The house is spacious, very clean, modern, and extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen. Our kids loved the selection of toys and we all enjoyed the beautiful, green garden. The location is perfect: two stunning beaches are nearby, and we even spotted dolphins, koalas, and kangaroos! There were quite a few mosquitoes, but that’s part of staying so close to nature. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing place. We would definitely come back!

It is a really beautiful house overseeing the beach near Nelson Bay. My family thoroughly enjoyed the stay for a few nights. Host was really nice, even messaged me that she found my misplaced ring. thank you very much! Best seaside experience we had!

Had a great overnight stay at Cath and Alex’s place. It’s fairly small but has all that you need for a short trip. Thank you Cath and Alex!

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.

We loved staying here. It was very ‘homey’ and the hosts were great with their communication. Would stay here again :)

Loved the view from the loungeroom & balcony. Everything was neat & tidy. Lots of books, DVDs, etc. Great smart TV. Beds were comfy. Nice & roomy apartment. Well equipped kitchen. Had a lovely time.

Sues place is a Great little spot, super tidy and exactly as described. Very quiet little retreat

My husband and I felt right at home, similar like, staying at a relative's place. Home was cosy and plenty of 'hygge' :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Terry and Sue’s place. Very spacious and well appointed with extra touches to make you feel welcome and comfortable .We really appreciated the bread and milk as well as other supplies that they provided. Spotlessly clean and the kitchen was great. We made good use of the utensils and air fryer. A quiet neighbourhood but close to the beach, shops and restaurants with lovely views of the hinterland from the balcony. Terry and Sue are very welcoming and responsive and helpful when needed. We look forward to coming back and staying here again!

Nice place with walking distance to the beach. Will definitely come back again during summer time. Loni is very responsive and helpful.

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 stunning place – the views were incredible and the location right on the beach made it extra special. Super clean, beautifully styled, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Would definitely come back!

This accomodation was outstanding. Great location and the unit was equipped with everything you needed including some thoughtful items like a coffee machine, condiments in the fridge to a variety of tea and coffee selections. Communication was on point with step by step instructions on how to access the unit and Mark was very reactive to emails. The outlook was amazing, listening to the sound of the waves and the sunsets ❤️. I will be back..

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 🙂

hosts were really lovely and even left home made cookies for arrival! Lovely clean apparentment close to the beach and walks. I didn't realise there was no oven so that was the only downside for us but it was great value for the money

The place was beautiful the views were stunning too. The place was perfect size for a family, with all the amenities you would need. The house was also spotless and the location was great too, central to everything! It was also easy to check in.

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 :)
