At just over an hour from Sydney, and in close proximity to the Hunter Valley, Barrington Tops, Newcastle and Port Stephens, the opportunity to unwind at The Loft is too good to miss.
To find out more google "The Loft" at Kilaben Bay.
The Loft is the perfect location to access all the Hunter, Newcastle and Port Stephens has to offer...
The Loft has everything for a quiet weekend away or a week-long escape: lose yourself in a book, refresh with a dip in your private outdoor spa or walk out on the private jetty and slide into the cool waters of Lake Macquarie or try your hand at fishing off the jetty.
Take a walk around beautiful Lake Macquarie or play a game of tennis at The Loft private tennis court.
At the end of the day sit back enjoy the sunset sip on a well deserved drink. Turn on the BBQ to heat up for
your catch of the day, and unwind in the outdoor hot tub after, overlooking the lake.
For the cooler months, snuggle up indoor by the warmth of your fire.
With your batteries recharged investigate all the Hunter has to offer: award-winning golf courses in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, internationally-acclaimed Hunter Valley wineries, and a feast of culinary options for dining locally in Toronto, Warners Bay or venture into Newcastle's famed dining strips.
Tour historic Newcastle for an intriguing insight into our region or go boating or whale watching for the day in beautiful Port Stephens.
For an adventurous spirit, take a hike on one of many walking trails at the Barrington Tops nature reserve, or for a more leisurely time, have a day in the sun, sand and surf at any one of our pristine beaches.
Lake Macquarie is the largest salt water lake in the Southern Hemisphere and offers a multitude of fishing spots both on shore and out on the lake.

My partner and I just spent the weekend at The Loft and could not fault the location, amenities or the wonderful hospitality shown by Gina. We enjoy many weekends away, from overnight hikes to 5 star hotels, and we prefer this to a 5 star hotel in the city anytime.
First of all, Gina's property is immaculate - well maintained, secure, and well appointed. The Loft itself is gorgeous - plenty of room for 2 people, comfy bed, well equpped kitchen, stunning bathroom, different eating areas, both inside and out. There is a huge deck with private spa which was lovely to relax in under the night sky. There is a jetty for fishing, or swimming if you are braver than us. We decided at the last minute not to take our kayak but wish we had.... it would have been so easy to launch it from the jetty.
Gina is very generous in her provision of breaky supplies, snacks, wine and choccies. She also provided us with lots of local info - good cafes/restaurants, nice walks etc. Even though we had a lot of rain during our stay we were still able to enjoy our surroundings.
We highly recommend The Loft for any couple wanting a luxury getaway. We will definitely book again in Winter for a different experience again (and so we can enjoy the indoor wood fire!)

Perfect property, excelled expectations!
The host could not of been more friendly and was more than happy to help, communication was perfect, all while giving us the the utmost privacy.
Great views, close to all amenities, walks and a quick easy drive to all the Hunter Valley has to offer, gated access, A1, we will certainly return to this property and recommen it to all!
Thanks again for a perfect stay!

The Loft is a beautiful location for alone time with your partner and to personally relax and recharge with the comforts of home and a stunning view.

Gina makes you feel so welcome from the start. Her personalised touches are just perfect with a bottle of wine and chocolate on arrival. The Loft is cosy and just perfect for a couple wanting a getaway. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very kind to us to get the benefit of using the hot tub more than once but it was lovely when we did. We highly recommend this beautiful spot on Lake Macquarie and can not speak more highly of Gina.

One of the best Airbnb's we have ever stayed at - Stunning view, super clean, awesome deck & hot tub, kitchen well stocked (inc heaps of fresh brekkie stuff) & host was incredibly nice - Even presented us with choccies & bubbles on ice on arrival! Which was perfect as we had just got married at a beach nearby! Will definitely be back :) Thank you Gina

The property was perfect, more than big enough for the two of us, the location was gorgeous. Definitely miss waking up to the view of the lake.

As title suggests, this is our second visit to "The Loft" located on Kilaben Bay. A most wonderful welcome on arrival from Gena our host, along with a nice bottle of wine on ice. The accommodation remains at its usual impeccable high standard. Lazy days were had on the balcony watching the world go by, sheltered from the odd rainy day. This did not detract from the most beautiful setting. The only question is... do we make it three visits (quite possibly)?
4.9
An absolute gem of a spot we had the most fabulous time in this serene setting! Highly recommend

So glad I found this little Gem! Had everything I needed for a short little, Birthday getaway with my husband. Gina was such a great host! Greeted us on arrival, showed us around then left us to be. She provided us with Breakfast, bubbles and fruit which I thought was such a lovely touch.
It rained alittle while we were there, but that didn't stop us from making use of the hot tub, It was actually quite nice!
Overall the whole loft was fantastic, nice quiet location on the water, comfy bed, awesome fireplace, bbq and just everything we needed for our short trip.

This was our accommodation for our elopement and we have to say there are simply NO regrets! The loft itself was amazing, photos simply do not do it justice! Gina was amazing 😊 and her hospitality somehow even MORE so.
We loved our stay and chances are, if looking for the perfect place, you will too!

Cannot rate this highly enough. The place was amazing, looked out over the lake, everything was beautiful. It was the little things done by the host that made it the perfect stay. The spa was already on and warm when we got there. The host left breakfast in the fridge for us and also brought us bubbles and chocolate when we arrived. I would give 6 stars if I could.

My cousin and I came for a girls weekend, Gina was so welcoming and lovely, the loft was definitely one of the best places you could ever stay in, can’t wait to be back!!
4.9
We are known as the lovebirds, hence we book many romantic getaways. The Loft is now our favourite. The privacy at the lake mad us feel like we were on a deserted island, but it was a lake that we loved. Gina greeted us with sparkling wine, chocolates and strawberries. The perfect way to be the lovebirds we are. The wood fire ignited our passion. The spa overlooking the lake ignited our passion even more. The LOFT is wow, wow ,wow! We will be back. Not once, not twice but as many times as we can get there. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ John and Trizanne
