Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Macquarie

Thank you so much Julie for letting us stay in your beautiful home! The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway over Easter! Stayed with a bigger group, so plenty of space to hang out together, or separately if needed. Beautiful yard for pets and very close to the beach and shops. Would definitely come back!

Janine was a very lovely host. Their place is exactly how they described it! Every one in our group enjoyed every bit of our stay in this lovely and serene escape among the treetops in Avoca!🥰

Reid & Kerrie welcomed us with a bottle of wine and Tim Tam's. I thought that was so sweet of them. The house is well stocked with everything you need. We would love to stay here again ❤️

We had such a lovely stay at Tom’s place. Close to lots of cafes, restaurants and the beaches + plenty of parking on the street. Check-in was easy and communication was great. Had such a homey feel to it and was the perfect spot to relax on a weekend away. Such nice little touches like providing eggs, bread and milk. The bathroom and bathtub were absolutely gorgeous too :)

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.

Great place. Definitely recommend if you’re staying in Ettalong.

We had a great stay here. We have 2 teenagers and a 10 year and the home had plenty of room for us all to spread out. Beds were extremely comfortable. Walking distance to cafes and restaurants and takeaways. Raj’s on the corner had lovely Indian food with a large selection on offer. Easy to walk places and a short drive from beaches. There a nice playground for younger children the next street over.

Beautifully renovated, close to vineyards and amenities. Comfortable beds and lounge and very well equipped kitchen private backyard. Would thoroughly recommend if you are interested in visiting the hunter valley wine region.

Great property in a great location. We will definitely consider using it again if we return to the area.

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!

Very functional, albeit small 2-bedroom apartment. The pool was great - we were the only ones that seemed to swim while we were there! The little balcony is a nice place to have a dinner or wine. It did hold the heat quite a bit - assume it would be quite warm in summer. The suburb is very hilly like the name suggests - so be mindful of that from a mobility perspective. Great area - lots of cafes around 10 mins walk away.

We were really impressed with the view from the loungeroom. The place was very clean and the kitchen was fully equipped. It's very centralized, you can see the sea pool from the balcony and Coles is 750m away. Jonathan was also very quick in responding anytime I had a question. He also only asks that you take the rubbish out and doesn't ask anything extra like other hosts.

A spacious and comfortable self-contained flat, overlooking the forest and the ocean. We had an excellent time over four weeks. Communication with a most hospitable owner was perfect. We highly recommend, and hope to be back some day!

We really enjoyed our weekend here. Wonderful location and the place was fantastic. Great amenities and vibe - looks and feels like the photos. Would happily stay here again

Joanne’s accommodation was a home away from home. Everything you could need or want was provided and we were close to everything we wanted. Comfy, spacious and beautiful - we will be back!

Colleen was a lovely host who generously stocked her kitchen with breakfast items and snacks. Really lent into Australia Day as well, bless. The little unit had everything we needed, well-placed within beautiful Gosford

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.

The location, the view and the sound of the ocean waves made our stay in this apartment a wonderful experience! We had no trouble communicating with our hosts, who were nice and helpful! We can only recommend the apartment for future guests.

The place was very close to Mona Vale Beach. Not far from the bus to the city or Manly. Close to Mona Vale shops.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

Thank you Michael and Alice for having us to stay. The apartment was roomy and in a great location, close to Waitara train station and Hornsby Westfield. Michael was proactive and helpful in his communication.

I spent a lovely few days in EMILY‘s whale Beach escape. I was looking for a quiet retreat in Sydney and this was perfect. The bus made it easy to get around without a car. I went to Avalon Beach swimming and whale Beach is close by. I did an amazing moonlight walk on the . They were goodies in the fridge, plus snacks and a little bottle of sparkling wine that was very well received. Highly recommended. Matthew.

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

Kim is proactive and responsive host. She proactively provided suggestions of wineries for the area to assist our trip planning.
