Cottage holiday rentals in Lake Macquarie

Beautiful place in peaceful neighbourhood. We had a lovely stay with everything you could need and all high quality

Was a lovely country escape! Very central location for hunter Valley- 15min drive to pretty much everywhere. Appreciated the hot tub and indoor fireplace- but still felt like the space is more of an autumn / spring / summer vibe. Very high ceilings meant it was difficult to keep warm if you didn’t want to use the air con (especially overnight), and the beautiful windows would create an excellent cross breeze in warmer months.

lovely little place clean and well maintained in a quiet area. They left bacon and eggs and a few other goodies for us to enjoy which was very much appreciated. Spa was lovely and clean unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it. Highly recommend for staying and exploring the Hunter Valley.

Kerry’s place was perfect for us. The champagne and cheese platter on arrival was a great touch & the amenities provided are hard to find at such an affordable price

Applegum is just perfection! Lovely quiet and secluded location. Stunning outlook across the valley. So relaxing to wake up to cows mooing and have a beautiful view of the countryside. It was lovely to sit on the verandah and have a cuppa. The kitchen is well stocked with good quality pantry staples. We had a cold snap when we were there but the house felt cosy and warm thanks to the combustion fire as well as other heating options. Beautifully decorated with lovely attention to detail. The outdoor hot tub was an absolute winner! Thanks Jane for hosting us, we will definitely be back

This is my second time staying at this cottage and it felt like home again. Cecilia is warm and friendly and takes great pride in being a host. Everything is as described and the cottage has what you need for a short or long stay. It’s a great location in Stockton, with all amenities accessible on foot. This is one of the best, if not the best, Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.

We only had a short overnight stay driving from Gippsland to the Sunshine Coast. It was a great place to relax and get a good nights sleep. Peter was very helpful and friendly and made our dog Poppy feel very welcome. The house was on a busy street but Peter has set up the house and surrounding gardens perfectly to provide a quiet place to relax and stay. Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to cook up the bacon and eggs which were provided but it looked delicious.

Had a great time such a beautiful place would recommend

Barkala Cottage is an idyllic spot! The location, surroundings and house were all spectacular. It was the perfect spot to switch off from the world, breathe some fresh air, eat good food and just relax. I can’t wait for an opportunity to go back again in the not too distant future!

Amazing place. One of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had. Peaceful and quiet with very comfortable beds and furniture. Excellent host who goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need and want. Will happily leave you alone or keep you company and entertain you, if you prefer. Cozy fireplace. Modern bathroom. Awesome sauna and pool. Amazing views with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Excellent fire pit. Clear views of the stars and the Milky Way. A perfect getaway.

The Boatshed was such a peaceful oasis, and a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city-living. It was such a treat to take our dog and experience some proper rest and restoration on this beautiful island. We used the kayaks a couple of times, and managed to even play a game of lawn bowls at the local club. It was perfect for what we needed, and I'd highly recommend Barbara's place to anyone needing a true reset.

We had a lovely weekend, the property was exactly as described and very comfortable. Super location close to everything and very clean.

We loved staying at the Riverhaus and cannot wait till the next time we return. Sheriden and Tom thank you so much for this airbnb! The layout, presentation, communication could not be faulted. We would highly recommend staying here.

Tanya’s place was a perfect B&B with actual breakfast provided (eggs, bacon, bread, OJ, milk etc). It was so spacious and great that it was pet friendly. It was walking distance to a few vineyards and very close to other wineries and activities. Highly recommend.

Great location. Lovely and homely. We thoroughly enjoyed our time away from the city in this really quiet and secluded home. Fully fenced so our fur baby could run around and play. Also enjoyed our walks by the water. A real time out. Thank you Yvonne 🥰

We had a wonderful time at Sally and Simon’s place. It was so lovely to have an enclosed yard for our active dog and to be able to let him run in their paddock off lead. The bed was comfy and they even had chromecast set up for movie night! We enjoyed using the fire pit and the freshly laid eggs from their chickens. Thanks for an awesome time! We’ll be back!

We spent the weekend in the hunter and this place was the perfect fit for us! Very peaceful, warm in the winter nights , easy check in and a very helpful host throughout. Would recommend it! We also saw kangaroos which was a big plus for me!

Kym's place is exactly as described. She has chosen very thoughtful furnishings and styling choices. She is also very responsive and the check in process was very smooth.

Alicia was an incredible host! Such a wonderful place and location. Will definitely be booking another trip there soon😁

An amazing 18 hours away – wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely extend our trip next time. Off the grid, totally peaceful. A great day.

We throughly enjoy our stay. Great location. Nice, clean and comfortable place.

Wonderful location, super comfortable and convenient, right near the beach, a nice quiet street. All the amenities are super. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at this house. While it is modest, it has everything you need for a comfortable visit: a good kitchen, an excellent shower, a comfy bed and well organized. You can tell the hosts put care into details and make sure everything works properly.

A beautiful place to get away from it all, just one hour from Sydney. Nicky's place is a boating paradise with private local beaches for swimming, endless waterways to explore, and great fishing off the jetty. Perfect for reading a book on the deck or daybed in absolute peace while soaking up gorgeous views. Already planning our return!
