About this house rental
The lake is at your door step with a short stroll to the Entrance for brunch or dinner. Or for the more energetic there are 12 kms of waterfront bicycle paths to explore.
This renovated sixties 4 bedroom house is 2 minutes walk to the lake. It has a sunny open plan living space opening out onto a deck and sunny private fully fenced garden. It is perfect for families or weekenders to come and chill out.
Accommodation
The house has 4 bedrooms. The first has a very comfortable queen sized bed. The second bedroom has a double bed. The third bedroom has two sets of bunks. At the end of this room there is another bedroom with a double bed. All mattresses are clean and of excellent quality. The house sleeps 4-5 adults and up to 5 children. Suitable for two families or two couples or a holiday with the grandparents! The dining and outdoor settings seat 8, with extra chairs available.
There is a fully equipped modern kitchen with a dishwasher, cooktop and Elextrolux oven and a good supply of cookware, glassware, plates and servery.
The house is provided with doonas and pillows and their covers, as well as tea towels. All of the linen is good quality and most of it is 100% cotton.
There is a selection of children's toys and books and a level grassed area and covered patio area with a large outdoor dining table. There is a gas BBQ next to the back patio.
Pet Friendly
Pets are welcome at the Lake Escape Cottage, so long as they don't go on the beds & furniture.
The back yard is fully fenced, with full height fences on all sides and a high side gate with spring closer. The front fly screen also has a door closer to block any surprise exits.
The side deck has also had wire mesh installed underneath to keep the area enclosed, if your pet hops down in the garden to explore.
The back yard is big enough for a small to medium sized dog to explore. The yard can also cater for a larger dog, but you will probably need to use the lake side walking tracks to keep them well exercised.
Please bring your own dog bedding. There is also a dog kennel, food & water bowls.

Beautiful home great location
5.0 / 5.0
Great house, very clean, chihuahua proof fences, was even allowed to bring my pet bird. Good communication from the host. Super quiet area but still close to everything. House had everything we needed for us and our doggo and I’ll say again super clean, prob cleanest holiday house we’ve stayed at. There is an odd step up and down between rooms if travelling with an elderly family member but not big steps.

The house is nice with plenty of rooms/beds…. Had some issues with the stove but eventually worked it out … no spa or hot tub so listing is a bit misleading … all else good

Sanctuary for the family
We stayed at the Lakeside Cottage for a peaceful weekend. The property was perfectly located in a peaceful neighbourhood within walking distance of main shops, the lake and the coast. The Cottage is clean, with all the main amenities for a family stay (including a dog). The space was perfect for enjoying time together, but for also spending quiet time apart from each other. Overall, a perfectly tranquil gem on the Central Coast.

Quiet lakeside stay
A great weekend stay. The cottage is really roomy and was very comfortable for our group of 6. It's very close to the lake and the weekend markets (although a bit of a walk to nearby shops/cafes). The host was very helpful and accommodating. Thanks for a great stay!

Had everything we needed for a wonderful holiday. House is well equipped, clean and close to a variety of experiences. My only suggestion would be wifi and blinds on the kitchen windows and sliding doors but not a deal breaker.Thank you to Brooke & Peter for an easy booking experience and good communication.

Cute cottage in a great spot
We had such a LOVELY weekend at The Lake Escape Cottage - a lot of bike riding along Tuggerah Lake, enjoying local cafes and beaches. The house was perfect, comfortable and clean, love the decor and feel of the cottage. It was important for us that our dog was welcome and safe and he was which added to our bliss. Thank you to Peter for arranging for the aircon to be on for our arrival on such a hot day and for being more than accommodating throughout. We look forward to returning again one day to The Lake House.

Loved my stay as always. It was nice and peaceful with my teenage daughter and I.
It is lovely to escape Sydney and relax near the water. I enjoyed nice long walks along the Jetty for exercise.
It feels like my second home up at the central coast as I have been going since I was a kid but since I have a spoilt Cavalier King Charles I get to bring him too.
Perfect little place and a good location. 🙂
