Imagine having your own beautiful weekender, just 90 minutes from Sydney, with absolute water frontage, and a private jetty! Sunshine Cottage offers spectacular 180 degree lake views, a fully equiped kitchen and bathroom, 3 comfortable bedrooms, laundry and a large veranda on which to relax and enjoy alfresco dining or an afternoon nap.

Sunshine at Lake Macquarie will give you the weekender life style you've been looking for. With Australia's largest coastal saltwater lake as your backyard, you will have ample opportunity to enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, sail boarding, and water-skiing.
There is an excellent boat ramp just 300m down the end of the street. Most guests then keep their boat tied up off the jetty for the duration of their stay. There is a huge front yard with plenty of space to keep the trailer.

Peaceful, serene location, surrounded by native bushland and with absolute waterfront views and private access to the lake and jetty. Charming lakeside cottage, with plenty of room for entertaining on the back deck, and a BBQ. We stayed for 2 nights and there were 3 adults and 2 children in our group. The front yard has plenty of room for car and boat parking, and a beautiful mango tree in the top corner, which was loaded with fruit (sadly, not quite ripe during our stay), and a nice, grassy shaded patch underneath, perfect for a picnic! The cottage is not air conditioned, but has fans and good air flow with the doors and windows open, but was very hot and humid on our arrival day - we were lucky to have a cool change which made our stay quite comfortable. I probably wouldn't stay again during mid-Winter or mid-Summer unless there was air conditioning added. A highlight of our stay was taking the kids fishing off the private jetty, and seeing them catch their very first fish ever! It was also very relaxing to sit on the deck and enjoy the waterfront view. The cottage furnishings are basic but cosy and welcoming. The shower is quite small and I have suggested that the shower curtain be replaced with a screen, but it is functional. The front door could also do with a screen door to allow for air flow whilst maintaining security and discouraging critters from visiting! A very relaxing and enjoyable stay overall. The host was very accommodating and easy to deal with.
