About this house rental

Luxury and location does not get any better than Shingles Delight. Perfectly kept lawn with scattered trees leading down to your own sandy beach, making this the ideal location to enjoy your lake front holiday. Step into another world that is only 55 minutes from Hornsby.

Shingles Delight is truly a home away from home with all the comforts you could dream. The spacious 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has an abundance of character, it was built to resemble a home in the Hamptons. With shingled feature walls, a slate roof and large open spaces the quality of the architecture itself is reason enough to visit for a weekend.

When you want to kick back in luxury with someone special or bunk in with a large group, this is the perfect location.

The large and fully equipped kitchen is ideal for all budding master chefs. A dining experience that looks directly onto the lake makes for a romantic candle lit dinner or extends to seat 10 adults for a gourmet feast. The sunset colours are mesmerizing as the sun disappears behind the lake.

Shingles is a place for togetherness and fun. The 3/4 size Abbot and Doyle snooker table will test your aim as you rest by the fire place in winter. In summer you open the doors with so much lawn for everyone to play cricket under the sun or under the spotlights in the evening. Bring your kayaks for a paddle or throw in a line from your own private beach to catch a few flatheads or whiting for dinner.

Shingles is an amazing location for the boat enthusiast. Ski, wakeboard and tube all day on of the most protected bay in the Lake. This is where the locals come to ski even when the wind gets up. There is nothing better than a day of water activity on your own shoreline where you can park your craft at your own sandy beach. If you prefer to sail, enjoy Australia's largest salt water lake at your leisure when the breeze picks up. For large boats there are two boat ramps just 1km along the waterfront.

If all that activity is too much for you then kick back in your hammock as there is no better location for a long afternoon in the shade while sampling some of the Hunter's best Semillion.

Shingles doubles as a great luxury romantic manor, or as a getaway for a larger group sleeping up to 12 people.

This property does have a BBQ.

There is a permanent resident who lives in a granny flat above the garage. The resident has absolutely no access to the main house at all – they have their own entrance. The resident realizes that the main part of the house is a rental holiday house and that there will be noise, music, laughter and the sound of memories being made! 😊 As you can see from the 10 years and the reviews from previous guests- this doesn't cause any issues.

We had a wonderful time celebrating with the family. The property is spacious and has a great view of the lake. Being so close to the lake was ideal - we were able to let the children paddle in the water and play in the sand without having to bundle everyone and everything into cars. The downside of the water being close (about 50m away) was the concern that a toddler could wander too close. It would have been helpful if the back door had a screen door. The house has all the things you might need except for some flat sheets on the single beds. The beds had a fitted sheet and doona provided but on a warm night a doona was bit too warm. Overall though, the house provided us a very pleasant place to spend a family weekend together.

We had a wonderful long weekend at this house. Communication with the owner was excellent, she answered all our questions before we needed to ask them. The house was lovely, older style with beautiful balconies and features in the house itself, and gorgeous views. Easy access to the water at the end of the yard. The water is quite shallow at the edge and very gradually gets deeper, so it was great for young kids. Perfect for our paddle-boards and kayaks and floating about. No air con, but plenty of excellent pedestal fans in the house, so we were very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!
