Holiday rentals with beach access in Lake Macquarie

We had an excellent stay at TURTLES. The apartment is absolutely beautiful, has a stunning view and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Thank you, Donna, for hosting my friends and I, and for being so responsive to any questions we had!

Our stay was great. Very convenient to everything The unit was very well appointed and had everything we needed. It’s better than the photos. We will return again.

Great location and easy process. Would recommend.

Very nice appartment. Perfect clear instructions for check in. Exactly as advertised

Great location for the beach, ocean pools, walks and cafe/restaurants.

Great apartment in the perfect location to explore The Entrance. Access to jacuzzi was great and we had everything we needed. Would be happy to stay again.

This place is beautifully decorated, we enjoyed staying here. Clean, comfortable and fully equipped for anything you need. Loves the coffee machine 👍

Great stay in a fabulous location. Apartment is very cute and comfortable. Lovely eclectic vibe. Bianca is a great host - very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely stay there again :)

Natalie and Colin were excellent hosts. Their house is very comfortable; they are very welcoming; and they were helpful responding to our queries. The house is located a short and pleasant walk from a stunning beach. Highly recommended!

Beautiful and spacious home that had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. Great communication and received all the information we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend this property for families and friends wanting to enjoy a weekend by the beach!

The property was spacious and very clean when we checked in. The view of the ocean from the property was something we all enjoyed. Being so close to the beach also added to the fun. Yong Hui was extremely responsive when we i initially had trouble accessing the property. He was also accommodating of the request for some extra time after 10 am ( usual check out time) to check out as i was feeding my 10 month old. Loved the property and would highly recommend it

Helga was great with communication and easy to reach. The loft was very beautiful and we could hear the waves at night from the bed. Such a beautiful location too. Would definitely recommend!

This house is amazing! The views are so incredible, from the moment you walk in- you’re fixated with looking out over Newport! Lee was easy to communicate with and responded to all our requests very quickly. Definitely would stay again.

Absolutely loved staying at Belinda’s place with our extended family for the week. Beautiful spot tucked away in Pearl Beach, an easy stroll down to the beach, and an incredible house with plenty of space for all the kiddos and adults. Belinda’s house was very well appointed - stylishly renovated, well-thought out design with beautiful furnishings. We had a great week (despite some heavy rain!) and look forward to staying again soon.

My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Loved our stay at Fran’s place- a 2 minute walk to the beach & surf club cafe which does a great coffee & delicious breaky!! Beds were super comfy & really enjoyed our stay (except it rained the entire stay!) Would definitely recommend & hope to stay again in the future!!!

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.

We had a lovely 2 weeks at Emily's place. We have never seen such a well appointed property with pretty much everthing you could think of, down to the flask which we took to the beach. It is Whale beach so vertiginous is a word that springs to mind, but our ham strings and glutes were in better shape after going up the drive way on a daily basis. Great view of Whale beach and a nice walk down to it. Not for the elderly or infirm but I'd recommend it to anyone else.

Definitely recommend staying here, we will be rebooking in the future
