About this property

Swimming… Surfing ... Fishing ... Boating ... Relaxing! Waterside Retreat has it all!

The Waterside Retreat is a surprisingly spacious 2 bedroom cottage, sleeping 5, a great place to relax and unwind with family and friends.

Patrolled Blacksmiths Beach is only a 5 minute level walk and the beautiful Swansea Channel is a short stroll across the reserve.

Boats ramps accessing Lake Macquarie and the ocean are less than 100m away.

Sleeping up to 5 people, Waterside Retreat has a modern interior and is deceptively spacious with 2 large bedrooms, a lounge and a front sitting room with divan and easy chair.

Relax with a cuppa and enjoy the view towards the channel from the front porch.

The fully equipped eat-in kitchen has a dishwasher, full size fridge, microwave, upright stove with oven, large bench with stools, breakfast table and Smart TV.

The lounge room has a large comfy leather couch with plenty of room for everyone to relax, chat and watch a movie on the Smart TV.

The main bedroom has a queen bed, Smart TV (with Fetch Box) and plenty of room for your clothing in the built-in wardrobe. Just off the bedroom is an area that can be used as a parent’s retreat to sit and soak up the view.

The second bedroom has 2 king single beds and plenty of cupboard space – with books, games and toys.

The front room has a divan which can be set up as a comfy 5th bed as well as a lounge chair to relax and read a book.

The bathroom has a shower and bath with separate toilet and there's an additional toilet just outside the back door.

The separate laundry has a washing machine and dryer and an extra fridge.

Out the back is an undercover alfresco area with a BBQ and seating. There is also a shower to wash off the sand from the beach.

Free parking on premises in a quiet, safe neighbourhood.

Gorgeous little waterside cottage

This is a great place to stay. It's deceptively very spacious and perfect for a family of 5. It is a short walk to everything - the beach, shops, a cool little cafe and an excellent pub. The house was spotless, well furnished and had all the mod-cons we needed. It exceeded our expectations.

Great location

This property is awesome. Great, funky little house with enough room for 3 active boys(2 teenagers). Beautiful location... 30 seconds to the canal (managed to catch a few leatherjackets) and about 5 mins walk to the beach and break wall. 1 minute if you're lazy and drive! Unfortunately, we only stayed 1 of our 3 nights due to Covid but we'd all love to come back another time!

Water retreat at Blacksmiths

Had a lovely stay at the property - very convenient to all things our family love - Surfing; Fishing and Beach Walks. Property was great - more spacious than we realised. Will certainly be back again.
