Anchor at "D" Point unit A
We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Jenny's place. The location was central to a great lookout, pristine walks and a beautiful beach. The place was the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed at and was very well equipped. Jenny was very friendly and responsive - we look forward to staying here again!

The Calm

Absolute Beachfront @ The Entrance
I had a wonderful one night stay at Jonathan’s place. I have to agree with all the positive reviews on the property. It was a very welcoming place, right on the water, and in a fantastic location within walking distance to the main attractions. I would definitely come back!

East end apartment in leafy heritage precinct.
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 :)

Stunning 2 level Penthouse, Rooftop Hot tub & BBQS
This is the second visit to The Entrance and this property… 5 years apart. It will always be my go-to stay when I visit Central Coast. Peter is friendly and proactive and the apartment is spacious, immaculately clean and real value for money. The rooftop terrace is the highlight for us, magnificent views, loads of different seating areas for eating, relaxing and socialising - with an outstanding hot tub! We would recommend this apartment 100% K&S. UK.

Water Views of Shoal Bay Beach!
Location is perfect. Amazing view and verandah. Lovely to wake up to and watch the sunset. Super close to the water and walking distance to all restaurants and cafes. Spacious and all amenities you need. Comfy lounge, good tv, modern look. Could do with some new pillows and the shower needs updating (temp regulation not great). Otherwise recommend and would stay here again for sure.

The Lake House on Amaroo - Waterfront/Free Wifi
We had a wonderful stay at The Lake House in Smiths Lake. The property exceeded our expectations and was stocked with everything you could possibly need for a lovely stay. Josie was a great host, very responsive and helpful. We felt right at home! Oh and the view over the lake is stunning and location very peaceful.

Selby Lakeside Cottage
Lovely little cottage with beautiful view across the lake.

Blue Haven Gypsy Paradise-family friendly stay
We had a great weekend at Monique’s. The place is beautiful, with activities to do and the beach very close to de house. Monique was very friendly and receptive to our requests.

Getaway Lakefront Environmental House with Kayaks
Our holiday at Helen's lakeside property was absolutely fantastic! The location could not have been more perfect, right in front of a serene lake with picture-perfect scenery. The view from the property was breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable stay. The spacious outdoor deck allowed us to fully enjoy the natural beauty around us, whether we were having meals, playing games, or simply soaking in the view. Inside, the house was just as impressive—spacious, immaculate, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that Helen has taken great care in maintaining the property, and it made our family feel right at home. What made this holiday even more special was the fact that it was a multi-generational trip with our children and grandchildren. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company. The property truly provided a perfect setting for family bonding, and we made wonderful memor

Waterfront house w/ private Beach / kayak/ fishing
Thank you so much for the beautiful stay. An amazing view of the lake, lots of space for families, clean and felt like home. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

MAGNIFICENT LAKEFRONT BEACH HOUSE. Central Coast.
This lakeside home is the perfect getaway for large family gatherings for all ages! The pool was AMAZING, the pool table was used constantly, the kitchen was well stocked and the 3 main bedrooms has the most incredible views. The beds were all very comfortable, and there were multiple TVs to suit everyone. The bathrooms were spacious and modern. The views were stunning across the lake, especially at sunset. our family of 13 had a very special and memorable stay. Justin's videos were very helpful and his communication was excellent.

Lakefront Paradise Retreat
The house is in a great position at lake Macquarie with lots of fun to offer. The house and each bedroom were delightfully decorated to add enjoyment to the stay. It’s a wonderful experience we have had. On the down side I would say if beds could be more comfy with better mattress that would be good. Will appreciate if have more floor towels or mop since floor is wet with lots of water activities expected. Shame we have no bbq we could use but we understand the reason. The main couch is a big old and smelly otherwise the home and stay have been perfect.
