About the host

.Lakeshores Accommodation is a family owned, locally based holiday rental company that has been looking after guests and holiday homes around Lake Macquarie since 1996. What started with just a couple of family properties has grown into a small, hands on team that lives, works, and plays in the same streets and beaches our guests come to enjoy.
We are not a big corporate agency, we are local people who know the area and the homes we manage. You will often find us checking properties ourselves, meeting trades on site, and making sure each home is guest ready, rather than relying on cleaners alone to do the property management work.
We love welcoming couples, families, workers, and of course their dogs, to relaxed and well presented homes Our focus is on honest communication, clean and comfortable stays, and sharing local tips so you can make the most of your time by the lake and at nearby Caves Beach.
When you book with Lakeshores, you are supporting a local family business that genuinely cares about your stay and about the owners who trust us with their homes.

Why they chose this property
Marks Point is a relaxed lakeside village tucked between Belmont and Swansea on the eastern shore of Lake Macquarie. It has a true “by the water” feel, with a local marina, bowling club, lakeside reserves and walking paths all close by.
Just a few minutes’ drive away you’ll find Belmont and Swansea for supermarkets, shopping and more dining options, while the surf at Blacksmiths Beach and the Swansea Channel are only a short drive over the bridge.
Fish from the shore, launch the boat or jet ski at the nearby Marks Point boat ramp, or head out for a sunset cruise on Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake. Follow the track near Lake Macquarie Airport to this tucked-away sand and swimming spot, loved by locals for its calm, shallow waters and peaceful feel.
Belmont Golf & Bowls offers an 18-hole championship links course between the lake and ocean, while Marks Point Bowling Club and Swansea RSL are handy for bistro meals and a casual drink. You are also only a short drive from Blacksmiths and Caves Beach, making Marks Point a great central location for water lovers.

What makes this property unique
✦ True absolute waterfront with no road in front, just lawn to lake, so you feel like you’re floating on the water, not just “near” it.
✦ Private slipway making it rare for boaties, jet-skiers, and kayakers who want to launch and store everything on-site.
✦ Wide water views from the main living areas and kitchen, so you never miss a sunrise, storm rolling in, or golden-hour sunset.
✦ Multiple living zones downstairs, giving families and groups room to spread out, come together, or keep the kids’ noise separate.
✦ All four bedrooms are oversized, so every guest gets a “proper” bedroom, not an afterthought.
✦ Balconies off key bedrooms, perfect for a quiet morning coffee while you watch the lake wake up.
✦ Three bathrooms including a third shower off the laundry, ideal after a swim, paddle, or day on the boat.
✦ Easy indoor–outdoor flow to the waterfront terrace, which naturally becomes the heart of the home for BBQs and long lakefront lunches.
✦ Peaceful Marks Point location, on the lakeside but only a short drive to beaches, cafés, and boat ramps, so you get the best of lake and coast in one stay.
