Located near shops and short walk from lake and beach. Small yard for pets.

We enjoyed our short stay. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. Had most of the requirements needed for our 5 nights. Our 5 year old grandson had a wonderful time and the property was safe for him and our 2 fur babies. Owner loaned us a child's kyack unfortunately we didn't get to use it. Would not hesitate to recommend this property and will stay again in the future.

My husband and I had a brilliant weekend. The yard was perfect for our 2 fur babies and the house is beautiful and very comfortable. We were even greeted by a Willie Wagtail upon checking in. Such a great location, we hope to be back again. Thank you Cath :)

When we set out to find a place for a short break, we were keen to locate accommodation: a) close to Sydney, b) spotlessly clean, and c) run by hosts that would allow our furry baby, a little Bichon Frise, to come with us. And in Willie Wagtail Cottage we found all that and more! Even before we got there, Cath kindly helped us with planning a birthday outing, with her tips giving us plenty of eateries to try. And indeed, the food at Table 1 Expresso Cafe for lunch or the Canon Cafe for dinner in Warners Bay was just wonderful. The cottage itself is located in a quiet street, favoured by a very cute family of neighbourhood ducks. It is pristinely clean, with crisp white walls and fabulous high ceiling in the living area. The beds are marvellously comfortable and the place is homely and just right for a trip away from home, with beaches a short drive away and the lake just around the corner. So nice is the place that we are already liaising with Cath about our next booking! Thank you Cath and Brett for a nice stay. We are already looking forward to staying at your cottage again!

All was good except no servicing spoons or salad dishes. Could have a larger saucepan.I purchased a crockpot to cook dinner Saturday nights.

We came up for our daughter's football match. It was perfect for what we needed and a great location which was a short drive to the ground We loved our stay and would happily return

Just a few days needed from the busyness of work and family. A great place to explore Lake Mac both by foot and driving. Our beaglier appreciated the break as well. House was cosy - all day sun and well appointed. A great place for our short stay of 3 days.

Clean, comfortable and well-appointed, this cottage had everything we needed, in perfect condition. From books and games for our 10 yr old to a pet friendly yard for our canine companion, the attention to detail was impressive. A short walk to the Lake and an awesome local cafe. We loved our time here.

Perfect accomodation if you have a number of family members. 2 generous bedrooms large combined lounge dining and fully equipped kitchen. Outdoor BBQ area. Very quiet street and short walk to golf club. Thoroughly cleaned before arrival and contactless Check in meant we could arrive anytime we liked. Easy communication with owner who is a local and will let you know of some great spots to visit. We will be back.

Great experience in a good part of Belmont south. Owners were very attentive and were happy to offer tips on the local area for stuff to do which was greatly appreciated.

Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wagtail Cottage. The place was absolutely spotless with soft towels and crisp bed linen. The bed was very comfortable and you could hear a pin drop during the night. We enjoyed our breakfast one morning on the patio with the added bonus of the huge umbrella to get some shade. There isn't any WiFi at the property however this made us appreciate the cottage even further and we made full use of the board games provided. That being said, there is a nice modern flat screen tv with with an aerial and also HDMI ports to plug a laptop in to if required. The unit is very well described and the pictures depict reality accurately. As mentioned in the description, there are so many outdoor activities to do in the surrounding areas which we loved. Newcastle is only 30mins away with plenty of cafes and restaurants to discover. Cath was very helpful and gave us a few spots to checkout. We can highly recommend Hickson St Lookout with incredible views across to Glenrock Beach during the day. The show stopper was Naru Beach for sun set. Wow. Cath was very articulate and clear in our communications and made the whole process very smooth. We would highly recommend.

This place is great for a small family. Close to a few nice beaches and shops. Easy access to everything.

Cath was amazing. Such a cute cottage and super clean. Great location, not far from cafes, river and shops. Check in and communication was excellent. Best short break we've had for a long time. Thank you !

Stayed with my family. Exceeded expectations! Nice and clean in a good neighbourhood. Allowing to charge my Tesla was really helpful given there are bo fast charging options around. Highly recommended!

What a gem! This is the perfect place to stay if you want to unwind, relax, have your own private space and explore Lake Macquarie. The home is very clean and modern, with everything we needed for our getaway. The beds are very comfortable, the appliances are easy to use and the owners have obviously put thought into everything that they provide. The home has a really good vibe about it. We were a short drive away from everything (such as Blacksmiths Beach, Caves Beach, Naru Beach, cafes, scenic picnic spots fishing spots etc...and close enough to Kotara and Newcastle for a drive) so did a lot of exploring and were able to return to our very comfortable 'base' if we wanted a break. The owner, Cath was a pleasure to communicate with and check in/out was really easy. We are so happy we stayed here. A fantastic start to the new year.

Easy check in, communication with the owner was easy. The house was modern and a perfect size for our family. Access to all needed to cook in and central enough to eat out if wanted. Walk to fishing and the beach. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful cottage in a great location close to lake, beaches and shops. The cottage was well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The property manager was so accommodating which made our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back. Thank you
