Not as advertised and unsafe!
The ad said there was a pool, linen/towels provided and a playground on the property. The pictures advertised in the ad was not the same as the condition that we met. The backyard fence and side gate had large gaps/holes that the children could fit through, no advertised beach chairs and also large gaps under the house. The yard had garden rubbish piled up. Outdoor furniture, toys and cubby house had major wear and tear from age. There were no water views as stated in the add.
The house fuse stopped when we tried to use the vacuum cleaner, so I checked where the fuse box was and the side gate fell on me. The washing machine left the clothes dirtier than went in. The dishwasher not cleaning well. Laundry sink was not attached and could be easily moved by the 2year old. The bedroom cupboards floors dirty/dusty. Uneven floors unmarked. The shower was not great and no floor drains in bathroom. Damages to walls, doors, blinds and window latches throughout. Broken step on ladder to top bunk bed. Bed sheets marked/stained. Only one hand towels and one floor mat provided, no towels. A/C only in the lounge/common area. Bedrooms are fans only.
And note you will be charged an international transaction fee as the owner uses VRBO.

Suitable for what we needed
10.0 / 10.0
Lovely beachside accommodation located close to surf, pool and shops. Very clean and comfortable inside and out. Kitchen ware and appliances very suitable for food preparation for a large group. The amenities catered to interests of all our age groups - Large screen TV, DVD's and board games were an additional bonus keeping everyone entertained. A great place for our family holiday.
10.0 / 10.0
The place was really spacious and clean, and the location was perfect; only a few minutes to Blacksmiths Beach and a nice central area to a lot of places that are located east of the lake. There was a good collection of movies and board games, which offered endless family entertainment. Be mindful that there is only one toilet and bathroom (had to work out a booking system with our family of 5 adults), but that didn’t really detract from the enjoyment of our holiday. The host was also very nice and answered any problems we had in a prompt manner. Definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for an affordable family-friendly place to stay in Lake Mac!

We had a great weekend staying here with our baby and our 4-year-old. Lots of games and books, a cubby house and sandpit out the back and within walking distance to the lake and the beach, making it a family favourite!

Quite a nice place.. only downside is lack of power points near the beds for chargers. Take a power board. But was a very nice place.

The location is fabulous but a bit pricey.
The location is fabulous but a bit pricey. I would recommend it to other friends but it will be hard to other groups that are on a budget.

Comfortable house in great location
A nice beach house - not fancy but had everything we needed. Comfortable beds and couches, kitchen well equipped (although oven is a bit slow to get going). Location is excellent - an easy walk or ride to Blacksmiths beach and some great picnic spots just across the road. Only small issue was the very noisy fan in the children's bedroom but we advised the owner so hopefully this will get fixed.

Excellent stay
The property has everything you need, clearly a very thoughtful owner. We travelled with 6 year olds and they had a blast. It was also so clean which I really appreciated. We hope to return.

little cottage with the mostest
Very Clean tidy and functional little cottage that seems bigger than it is, walked 100m and court a variety of fish from the shoreline, great little spot

Great spot on a quiet road near the beach and Granny's pool.
Home from home, very comfortable for two small families of 3 sharing the space. Great location giving access to Lake Macquarie but under 2 hours from Sydney. The landlord was a pleasure to deal with and they've put a lot of thought into making the place a great holiday rental. Recommended.
