Lakeside chilling out
Our stay as two families with teens at “Chilling Lakeside” was truly relaxing (mid Dec 2024). The booking process was easy, and communication with the gracious hosts was excellent. The house was well-equipped including entertainment for the adults / teens, good books and amazing views with stunning sunsets enjoyed by the jetty and around the firepit. Pelicans coasting along the water and friendly little ducklings were a joy. The nearby Coastal and Co takeaways had the best burgers and our trip to Caves beach (35min) was lovely. It was a memorable and relaxing stay.

Wonderful relaxing holiday
This house is even better than it looks on the photos, it is an ideal place to go if you want to relax with a book or board game by the lake, go for walks around the suburb, fish, kayak or visit the beach. I went with a group of friends and all 8 of us absolutely loved it. It is the perfect place for anyone looking for a peaceful get-away.

Perfect Getaway with Fantastic Hosts!
We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and quiet for a restful getaway. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, and every detail made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Lucio and Julie were such great hosts, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. We all had a great time and can’t wait to book again for our next trip. Highly recommend!"

Fishing fun and family
This property is even more gorgeous than the photos and seemed closer to the lake than i thought it would be. Its is spotlessly clean and extremely well organized. The booking and check in process was easy with great communication with Lucio and Julie. We were were all happy with our bedrooms which were spacious and clean. The house delivered fully with entertainment, we enjoyed playing board games and playing pool, cooking marshmallows by the outside fire, paddling on the lake in kayaks and canoes and hours of fishing with late afternoon being the best time to catch fish. A Woolworths is only 5 minutes away and we enjoyed visiting Norah Head lighthouse which is about a 15-20 minute drive. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back soon.

Perfect location to chill and relax with stunning sunsets over the lake.
From start to finish, there were no issues. Our hosts communicated everything we needed to know. We enjoyed the kayaks and pool table as well as the fire pit. The ducks were a bit of a nuisance, leaving a mess to clean up on the concrete. We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion in such a comfortable house, the perfect place to relax.

Perfect family getaway
The process from A to Z was smooth, perfectly equipped property catering for the whole family: Canoes Bikes Snooker WiFi Etc..... A small point to be made, I would've preferred to know in advance that the house is a duplex, hence we felt we had to be ultra quiet because we didn't want the neighbours to complain from the kids noise in the games room at night etc.... Regardless, a perfect pet free (no pets allowed) property because my kids have allergies. I WOULD BOOK AGAIN

Comfortable and nice view
I went there with my parents and three kids. Each room has its own air conditioning which is perfect for us. The kitchen has everything we need. We spend most of our time playing pool game dues to the wet weather, couldn’t enjoy the jetty and the backyard. Everything is perfect except the sound insulation isn’t very good, as upstairs bedroom can hear clearly the noice from downstair. (Except the lake view bedroom) the TV in the lake view bedroom isn’t working and the Wifi signal isn’t very stable. But I will still give it a 5 stars rating as the location and every other things are very good!

The property was very well appointed and ticked all of the boxes. There was so much to do, the children were busy all of the time. They really enjoyed a visit from a brush tailed possum who loved our avocados. We would love to have another visit and thank you very much for a wonderful holiday

A GREAT ESCAPE!
I was thinking of a place where we adults can sit back and relax and the kids can play and enjoy themselves. As soon as I came across this beautiful property which comes with a view and all sorts of amenities for kids (and adults), I knew I needed to book it. I wasn't wrong! From the moment I booked, the host was very responsive. He accommodated all our requests. The house was presented as described in the ad. Everything was very clean and tidy. All the amenities were there as mentioned in the ad. Kids were busy with board games, scooters, and bicycles, while we had a relaxing time at the back patio overlooking the beautiful lake. We tried the canoe and it was fun. The pool table and the dirt board were good time pass at night as well. Overall it was a much-needed break we were looking and we enjoyed it thoroughly! Thank you again to the lovely hosts :)
