It was a perfect house and location for a few days away with good friends. Great for laying about in the sun, casual swims and a barbeque. 10/10

Clean and tidy. It had all the families that we needed for entertaining, cooking and relaxing.

This was our third time returning to this beautiful holiday house and again, it did not disappoint. We travel with our extended family and the rooms are such a great size. We had 14 in the house and didn’t feel cramped at all. The location is superb as it backs straight onto the lake. We hope to be back next year!

Thank you for sharing your house that had absolutely nothing missing! From the spotless bedrooms and bathrooms to that incredible view... Our group was so comfortable, we could have stayed longer if we didn't have to go back to work! We had 7 adults who each had their own bed, a fully equipped kitchen which was used both nights for dinner, and a wonderful outdoor space which we were able to use for an afternoon recreational activity of "paint and sip" against that beautiful lake backdrop! Your communication throughout was always prompt and the check in and check out information was very clear and easy understand and follow. Our weekend couldn't have been any more perfect. Thank you.

We stayed at this property with 3 families. There was plenty of space for all of us. The teenagers loved hanging out on the balcony. The younger kids ran around on the grass. Everyone loved the pool table. We were so impressed with the location - we spent a lot of time on kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. It was easy to access the lake from the house and to supervise kids. Kylie is a friendly and responsive host. We re-booked for next year before we left.

Our family group had a great weekend at the house at Bonnells Bay. It has beautiful views of Lake Macquarie, especially at sunset. It was very spacious, easily accommodating our group of 12. The pool table was very popular, great fun. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Shingles was an absolute gem of a find and we will absolutely be heading back. Perfect for a getaway with extended family or friends. Lovely to be able to walk out the back door straight to the lake. Would absolutely recommend.

Spacious and great location.

Well maintained large house adjoining a marine reserve and Lake Macquarie. Superb sunsets. Dining room windows and upstairs balcony make the most of the views. House is well equipped, beds were comfortable and the owner quickly responded to a faulty light over the BBQ and my inability to find a light switch. House was cold when we arrived (probably unused for a period of time) and the combustion heater (only heating in the house) took a couple of days to reach all the rooms. Plenty of firewood provided.

Plenty of space to catch up with friends. Spacious, clean and comfortable rooms and the pool table was a hit!

Home away from home with the luxury of having the lake backyard

Very tranquil. Just wasn’t happy that we didn’t know about the tenant until we paid for our booking.

I can’t recommend this place enough. The house had everything you needed and was super clean. Lots of room for activities, games or just sitting back and relaxing. Greatest location with amazing views and access to the lake. Kylie was an amazing host with great communication. Everything was easily explained and had no dramas at all. Highly recommend this place and will hopefully be staying here again soon.

Had an amazing time away with mates!

Everything was so nice! Went there with a bunch of church friends for just a small retreat. It was a little hot but it was ok with the breeze and the fans, and we got quite lucky with the lovely weather and the sky was so clear. This made the sunsets amazing to watch! We had picnics and bible studies in the backyard and had a dip in the water which was nice. Kylie was also lovely and answered all our queries promptly and the check in process was super easy. We made some great memories and will definitely consider staying again!

Our second time at tjis placr. Feels like our owm home awsy from.home.

Very big and nice house. Perfect for a bigger group of friends or family. Location is amazing with direct access to lake. Host was nice and very well organised. Just a tip for a bigger crew it more 11/12 sleeping places max (not for 14) so just bring some mattress.

Wonderful house in an incredible area, lake is beautiful to walk along and Coles / The Pub is not much further. Everything in the house looked better then the pictures. Overall really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back again.

Loved it Would love to return!

This Bonnell's Bay property was a wonderful weekend break away for all the family. The owner Kylie was quick to answer any enquiries we had leading up to our stay...we loved it and the serenity of being on the lake!!! Sunsets were amazing. Thanks for sharing this little piece of paradise!

We had a fantastic three night stay to celebrate a 60th birthday and take some time to relax. Location is fantastic looking out over Lake Macquarie, weather was not kind to us so we could not take full advantage of the the water in our time. The house is fully equipped with everything supplied. The snooker table was a great entertainer with several snooker and pool champions being crowned over the weekend.

Extremely well equipped family property. Sensational setting. Very much enjoyed and appreciated. Accommodating host. So grateful.

Our group of 9 friends had an enjoyable weekend.The house was clean and had everything we needed. The sunsets across the lake are beautiful.

Had a lovely weekend away with a few uni friends. House was right on the water, enjoyed going for walks in the mornings and having a few drinks on the upstairs balcony in the evenings. There were only 6 of us (2 couples and 2 singles) so had plenty of space. House was a bit creaky and layout was very random and cool - we kept saying we should’ve thought to host a murder mystery night! A bit older but super clean and definitely had a cool vibe. We were joking before we arrived about who would have to stay in the naughty room, but it was actually super lovely. We ended up sleeping in the other upstairs queen room, the bed was outrageously comfortable. Went to dinner one night at “8@trinity”, a bit fancy and very good. Also got kayaks delivered and went kayaking on the lake right out the back door - very cool, defs a great idea (we had thought surely it would be just as good as kayaking anywhere else, but once we had done it we all agreed it was super cool that it was from our back door!); we brought a video game console so spent a lot of time playing games and playing pool; didn’t get around to foosball though there was a table! No wifi but got good internet coverage on Telstra (enough to support one of our mates doing some laptop work). Host was lovely, very responsive and a joy to chat to, made great recommendations! Also offered us late check out unprompted as it was available, which was very kind! Two of my mates asked for the listing because they were thinking of planning their own family trips.

Had a lovely weekend. What a place to stay, so quiet and relaxing! There was enough room for everyone to have there own space. Would definitely recommend it anyone who needs some R and R.

We stayed for 4 nights for my wife's 40th. unfortunately aa number of guest were not able to join us due to covid restrictions but this didn't prevent us from having a lovely time. Kylie the owner was fantastic from the moment we booked. communication was brilliant. She even sent a lovely platter of food on the day of my wife's birthday. Such a lovely thought, thank you again. Lovely size house, clean and has lots to keep the family entertained. The lake on the doorstep if beautiful, swimming fishing, kayaking and we had a ski boat. lots of fun, fond memories and great photos. Thank you we will be back if you will have us:) Jason, Michelle and family.

Ease of property lysh play area n easy hire of canoes made it stressless n fun. House had all necc cooking equipment n good hot water except for water pressure in downstairs bthroom. Carpet n curtains could do with a change but for price we paid n memories created...it was a fantastic home

We all had a fabulous time at Shingles delight.

Again and again and again and again we loved the place it's a pleasure stay .

We had an awesome weekend in a beautiful setting at shingles. There was 14 adults and we had plenty of room My only concern was that one of my friends sat on the egg chair that collapsed as it was broken. She did receive minor injuries but it could have been much worst. Apart from this everything was perfect

We really enjoyed this place and would recommend it to everyone. We had varied ages 0-40 years and everyone’s needs were met in regards to amenities and beds. The place was spotlessly clean and the lake was a plus for the babies. I cannot fault anything. Our host was prompt with all communication and even went above and beyond to accommodate babies needs and requests. All 10 of us recommend this as the highest star rating as possible. We will definitely be back 😀 C.S

Had gezt time wonderful present snooker table greT being snookef players and grandkids we played all day and night
