Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Macquarie City Council

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 :)

Wonderful place to stay and met all our needs. Craig’s house is in the perfect spot for the beach and the other activities we were there for. Craig was so easy to deal with and was so responsive and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a spot in The Entrance

It was a beautiful spacious place for a group of good friends to tour the Hunter region. It was central to most places making it easy to drive everywhere. Dan and Ariane were friendly and accommodating with our needs. A great place to relax!

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

We stayed at Armando's for the long weekend while visiting family in the Newcastle area. The house is inviting and beautifully furnished, and was perfect for our group (6 adults + a very energetic toddler!). Everything was clean and tidy, the kitchen was well equipped, and having two full sized bathrooms made our lives so easy. Ducted air con meant the house stayed nice and cosy despite the chilly temperatures outside! The back garden is very serene - we just wished we had more time to enjoy it! Shops nearby meant we could pick up essentials easily, plus grab takeaway if we needed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend this lovely house!

Loved our stay with two adults and two children. Absolutely beautiful home, nicer than the pictures! Stunning fireplace and loved the spa and pool! The best part is that the house is so well stocked! Everything you need is there which is so considerate and amazing! Hosts are responsive too and very friends! We also loved feeding the goats! A really beautiful home, thank you!

Paul has a lovely home and was a great host. No issues with our stay and Paul was very responsive. All in all, a great trip!

This is our third stay at Susana's place because we love the proximity to beach and bush and the lovely aesthetics of the home. Highlights for us are long dinners on the back balcony under the angophoras watching the sun set and early morning walks through Wyrrabalong National Park for a swim at Bateau Bay beach and a coffee at Bateau Beach Cafe on the way home. Our group of 7 find the home really comfortable and our annual holiday here really relaxing and refreshing.

Hunter Valley retreat hosted by Katrina was a great location to stay in. We got the Divinity house B which was right at the back of the retreat, which was very private. We had wallabies walking out at the back across the fence which was great to watch. Rooms themselves were clean, well appointed and had all the required amenities for a good night's stay. We wished we could stay longer to enjoy the outdoor amenities and games that were available. Katrina was responsive and made the check-in and stay smooth.

We had a family gathering in the area over the weekend. The house was about 10 minutes drive. But I in a beautiful area, about 15 minutes walk; 10 minutes drive to Redhead Beach. We had 3 children. The beach was particularly well patrolled, which made us more at ease. And, great coffee 5 mins walk! A great place for a great weekend.

We had a lovely stay at Carol's Eco retreat. Beautiful surroundings and very comfortable accommodation with a lovely outdoor space, including a fire pit where we toasted marshmallows in the evening with our son. The whole place had a very peaceful vibe. It was also lovely to see the work Carol was doing rescuing and looking after young kangaroos at her sanctuary next door. Thank you for a great stay!

Cute little place in a great location and lovely friendly hosts. Very grateful for the pet-friendly policy and enjoyed all the walks in the parks and along the water. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I love the home and proximity to the beach. The sound of the ocean across the road was lovely and peaceful. A beautiful home and sanctuary to replenish and rejuvenate.

Susan is so wonderful to do deal with and her gorgeous accommodation, I would highly recommend!! I look forward to booking with Susan again in the near future as a lovely home away from home!

This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

Had a great stay! Place was spacious for a large group and tidy. Our group enjoyed the animals and a bonfire at night. Great location a short drive from Cessnock. Great communication and clear instructions. Would stay again.

Beachousesix was very well appointed with amazing ocean views. It was clean, quiet & within around a 10 minute walk to restaurants & shops. There was plenty of street parking also. I would love to stay here again if in Terrigal. Thanks Tim

Terry’s place was perfect for our Hunter getaway, and Graham went above and beyond as host. Great location for getting around wineries and restaurants, and 3-minute walk to the brewery and pub down the road made for an absolute no-brainer at night. Accomodation is everything you’d need: perfect for a single, or a couple, or adults +kid/s, etc, plenty of space in the large main room with separate kitchen and separate private bathroom/laundry. Cannot recommend this place and Graham highly enough, what a legend! Cheers mate, we’ll see you again.

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!

Definitely one of the best AirBnB we have stayed at. Judy and Bruce were welcoming, helpful and friendly, even allowing us to check in an hour early (after a very early start for an early flight). Corona cottage is delightful and has everything you could need for a relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, the sofa bed was rather squeaky, but comfortable according to our adult son who slept on it, and the queen bed was very comfortable. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the pool looked lovely (although we did not get to use it due to rainy weather). A nice touch was the fresh fruit bowl and continental breakfast supplied. Overall, an amazing place for our family to relax and unwind, I highly recommend it if you are visiting the area.

Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part

A wonderful stay! Felt right at home. Place was clean and cozy. Therese even went out of her way to make sure it the heating was on for our arrival

Tania was lovely - really friendly. She was very responsive and provided tips on things to do during the stay. She has the makes herself available if there are any issues (we had a tiny issue with the key, which was resolved immediately), but otherwise ensures that she doesn't intrude on your stay. She is very mindful of this.

Edwina and her husband were lovely hosts, and Elfin Hill is a great complexthat is well appointed and maintained. We enjoyed our visit.
