Summary: Unkempt and neglected old property with definite safety issues. Obviously not inspected by the property management, or I should think acceptable to be on the Stayz website. List too long to complete, the only thing going for the property was the position overlooking Lake Macquarie.

Summary: We stayed for 3 nights and loved the location! The check in process involved a form and uploading of ID which was a little off putting and possibly due to bad experiences with previous tenants. The coffee machine was also broken when we arrived and make sure you bring all your essentials - milk , tea coffee etc. The bed was super comfortable and the location right on the lake is superb. I ran with the dog by the lake and he loved it. Also great for cycling and you can hire a boat if you’re feeling adventurous.

Summary: This house was ideal for our stay. We needed a relaxing break, and this was the right place for it. Loved looking out the picture windows, straight onto the lake! And there is a beautifully maintained grassy area behind all the houses that runs along the edge of the lake, perfect for walks. The house was spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. We hope we can come back again. Thank you!
