Cottage holiday rentals in Lake Cathie

Maurie’s place is so beautiful! Had an amazing time and the location/house is perfect! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

We have booked with Ned a few times in the past for both us or our parents, and everyone loves staying here. It's the perfect stopover when driving from Sydney to Brisbane. The cottage is so quiet, cosy, well set up and we love how dog friendly it is. Just a short trip from the highway and incredibly convenient. Also run by such a beautiful family. Couldn't recommend more highly.

We are so happy we have found this beautiful gem. We will come back for sure! Our arrival was a bit stressful as we were trying to arrive quickly before the roads were closed (due to floods) and Jill helped us along the way even organizing a really early check in! We were also lucky to stay another night as the roads were still closed or just newly opened. The place is beautiful in the rain and bathed in the sunshine. We saw so many birds and loved saying hi to the chickens everyday. It is cosy, well furnished and extremely comfortable! It really feels like home! We will recommend it to friends and family when they come to this part of the world!

My partner and I stayed at Mike’s place over the long weekend. It was peaceful and lovely stay. Plenty of things to do: tennis, cycling, swimming (too cold for us tho), pool table, dart, jacuzzi spa, etc. The ducks are lovely. Christine recommended a short cycling path which was very peaceful and we enjoyed very much. The fireplace kept us warm. The bed is comfortable as well! We find ourselves reset after the stay. Worth the 3.5 hrs drive from Sydney.

The property is beautiful and so peaceful! We very much enjoyed the atmosphere even in heavy rains we were nice and cosy looking out at the rain on the river!

Everything was perfectly thought out for complete comfort and privacy and add that the Wagyu steak add on was amaaazing and totally worth the extra $$.

Really lovely night away in the country! Our dog loved running free around the property and our toddler enjoyed the little forest trail walk, feeding the goats and he enjoyed the ducks. We added a lovely farmers brekkie hamper to our booking which we really enjoyed too. Thank you ☺️

Our stay at Tallowood cottage was lovely. The cottage was better than pictured. The bed in the main bedroom was probably the best bed we have slept in for an Airbnb. The house was roomy and comfortable. Unfortunately we stayed during an East Coast low and the backyard turned into a swimming pool so it was difficult for our dog to use. We just used the front yard instead. So great to have a dog friendly comfortable property so close to a dog beach. Susan and her team were extremely responsive to our communications and let us extend our stay until the road home had reopened after the floods a bit further south. Would definitely come back and stay again!

Very quiet and peaceful house to stay. Very quirky and interesting as it all dates back to earlier times and lives up to what you expect

Absolutely stunning spot and beautifully presented. Lovely sheets! Make sure you have a meal at Banks across the way. We had our dog who loved the beaches and quiet location.

Had a lovely stay at the Cottage. Comfy bed in well appointed and spacious surrounds and truly welcoming for our fur baby.

Suzie and Neil – thank you for having us! Your place exceeded your expectations; it really is better than the photos. We felt right at home from the minute we arrived and were greeted by both of you with homemade biscuits in hand. The views of the river were beautiful, the lawn of your place was immaculate, and the cabin we stayed in was very cute with ample space. We were all commenting on how we would love to live somewhere like that (a sign of a great holiday, I reckon)... From Neil giving us restaurant tips on the back of his lawn mower (like going down to the Wynter Tavern for dinner and drinks) to Suzie chucking us some wood for our fire, the whole time we felt comfortable, safe and relaxed. Would return!

Lovely little cottage. Very cosy and with a beautiful outlook exactly as shown in photos.

Fantastic Place. Loved absolutely everything. Huge bonus that we could have our beloved doggo with us. The pool and Tennis court were well used by us as was the back verandah where we ate, played games and just chilled. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

The cottage evokes a sense of nostalgia from the moment you enter the front gate, it has such a warm and inviting sense about it, it would have been nice to stay longer. the visits from the horses, cow and wallabies were an added bonus.

A really beautiful cottage to stay at… a lot of attention to detail has been put it to make it a superb place to stay. My dog and I enjoyed our stay here a lot! Would recommend this place to anyone

Absolutely loved our stay here, it was set up so well. The breakfast hamper and the stocked fire place was such a nice touch. Even in our 20s we enjoyed walking around the fairy gardens and exploring the yard. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay. Would really recommend it

Our stay at the cottage felt like home, hosts were absolutely wonderful and assisted in an early check in to accomodate our daughter’s afternoon nap ! The cottage was clean and comfortable would recommend staying without a doubt ! Thank you !

This was our first time booking through Airbnb, and my sister and I had such a wonderful time here. The place was very well presented, clean, tidy, and so peaceful. Great location in beautiful surroundings. Communication from start to finish, everything was smooth. Thank you so much for a wonderful visit to Harrington. Will be back for sure!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, the host was incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. They went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable, offering great recommendations for local spots and checking in to make sure all was well. The property itself was stunning! It was beautifully decorated, clean, and had all the amenities I could have asked for. The space was both cosy and stylish, with plenty of room to relax and unwind. It truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a fantastic host and a lovely property. Will definitely return!

This little beach cottage has so much original charm and character. The interior is so lovely and nature sunlight through the house is so beautiful for June. It was the perfect place for a weekend away.
