Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Central Location to amenities, eg. shops, cafes, beaches, lake. The accommodation was in a tranquil bushland setting & the apartment extremely well appointed. Host was very helpful & friendly. Highly recommend. Looking forward to returning very soon!
AustraliaEverything: desk and wifi so I could work, real sized shampoo, conditioner etc, great kitchen setuo. Chickens! Lizards, puppies, books, dvds, soft towels
AustraliaLocation was so relaxed and quiet and the unit tidy, clean and everything was supplied even down to arriving to freshly made carrot cake.
AustraliaFelt like a home versus a place to stay. After some time on the road from hotel to hotel, this was a welcome change. Loaded library of DVDs to choose from, good internet, and best of all washer & dryer in the unit. Homemade cookies were waiting for us on the kitchen table. There is an assortment of menus provided from all the restaurants/take-aways in town to help with meal planning. We only were able to stay one night, but wished we could have stayed longer.
United States of AmericaThe apartment was extremely well set up, with good quality china, all sorts of appliances and things like cooking oil, salt, pepper, dried herbs, in the cupboard to be used. Loads of good books to read, DVD's, the TV in case of rainy days. Bucket and special mop and blade for cleaning car windows - everything you could think of was there.
AustraliaGreat for a young family as a home base away from home.
AustraliaExceptional large, bush property with lovely gardens several hundred metres off the road. The hosts, John and Elizabeth were lovely and greeted us as we pulled up outside. We appreciated the fresh eggs they left at our door from their own chickens. Large collection of books, CDs and DVDs were available and the hosts respected our privacy but were helpful and friendly at the same time. Would return and recommend this lovely place. 2 minute drive to major shops and supermarkets, 5 minute drive to the cafes and lakes at Warners Bay.
AustraliaLoved the home made jam. Beautiful surroundings. Very friendly and welcoming host
AustraliaLovely place Bed super comfortable Homely Very nice hosts
AustraliaDelightful hosts welcomed us to this little piece of paradise. We loved the grounds, garden, nature, having a gorgeous dog to cuddle and a lovely pool to swim in. It was private and quiet. The apartment is well laid out and very well appointed. The book collection is fantastic. The kids were intrigued by the DVD collection (video shops are before their time lol). We appreciated the touches like fresh milk in the fridge, insect repellent and hand sanitizer.

Host Info
Our guests constantly tell us that they love the peace and quiet here, the well-appointed accommodation ("there is absolutely everything you need - and more") and the beautiful gardens, native trees, fruit trees, rolling lawns and interesting, at times quirky improvements across our two-and-a-half acres ("there's a surprise wherever you walk"). You might see a kookaburra, king parrot or rainbow lorikeet sitting in a tree or splashing in a bird-bath, or an Eastern Water Dragon strutting across the lawn.
We are both retired from full-time work after long and satisfying careers in the public arena. We have lots of grand-kids and we love welcoming families here. We have done everything we can to provide a "home away from home" for our guests - a description that is echoed over and over again in our guests' reviews.
We are less than five minutes drive from the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie (largest coastal lake in Australia) at Warners Bay, with its village atmosphere and lots of quality restaurants, cafes and takeaways. There is a large shopping centre just a couple of minutes away and we are 20 minutes from the heart of Newcastle. We are also within about 20 minutes of several surfing beaches and just a short drive to a nature reserve - Blackbutt Reserve - with native animals including kangaroos, emus and koalas. Despite being so close to everything, you enter another world when you come onto our driveway - you are a million miles from care.
