Beautiful Location - Spacious Accommodation

A great 10 days at the Sand Lake House. Even on two days of rain the lake location was beautiful, and peaceful. Lots of room for the 9 of us, plenty to do - use of the kayaks, paddle boards, pool table, table tennis - internet and cable TV - a home away from home, but on Lake Macquarie. Plenty to do nearby - recommend Lake Mac WaterSports for boat hire. Friendly local shops 1km away provide most day to day needs - bread, milk, paper, bottle-shop, groceries....etc Generous sized and comfortable living, eating and sleeping areas - heaps of room over 2 levels. Host Steven was easily accessible when needed for local advice. I have had an association with Lake Macquarie for many many years, and Sand Lake House presents all of the benefits and beauty of Lake Mac - highly recommended.

Lovely

The house is really lovely, lots of space, we had 8 adults & were very comfortable. Plenty of seating & big lounges. Plenty of plates, cutlery, cooking essentials & is great to have some of the basics provided as well. We loved visits from the local ducks, they didn’t like the lettuce as suggested but absolutely loved the peas!! Unfortunately it did rain for a few days of our stay, but having the pool table was a bonus! Our only suggestion would be to add a dryer into the house, as this would have helped getting towels dried, we did used the line provided in the garage but nothing was drying due to it being so wet. Stephens communication was great. Overall, it’s a really lovely house & the view is amazing, definitely worth a visit.

Fabulous Short Stay

The property presented as listed, down to the fairy lights outside. The bedroom configuration and general layout suited 9 adults and 2 children perfectly. Enough room to be together and enough space to have some time to yourself. The garden was roomy for playing games and the jetty was a great fishing spot. The kitchen was also well equipped with enough glasses, crockery, cutlery and serving dishes. A bonus was the easy walking along the foreshore to go exploring. Overall, a fabulous house and location!

About the host

Hosted by Stephen

We're a couple in our 50's who are semi retired. We have 2 adult children and live in Sydney's northern beaches area. We try to get to "Sand" at every opportunity as we simply love the chilled atmopsphere of the area.

Why they chose this property

Having holidayed at other properties in the area over the years, we were always keen to buy a nice house if one came up with the intention of retiring there. One such house did come up and we were fortunate enough to be able to secure it. We have since spent a great deal of time undertaking much needed renovation & maintenance and are now proud to offer a well maintained, clean and well equipped holiday home with as many home comforts as possible.

What makes this property unique

This property is located on the absolute waterfront of a quite bay in Mannering Park on the southern shores of Lake Macquarie. We offer a 25 metre jetty at the back door to park your boat or jet ski and the boat ramp is in sight just 200 metres along the waterfront. There is plenty of parking and we have lovely neighbours.
