We had a fantastic family mini getaway! The house was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was quiet and relaxing, just a short stroll to the beach, and the pool was a great bonus for both kids and adults. We loved that it was dog-friendly too — our pup had the best time! Janette made sure our check-in and stay went smoothly. Perfect spot for a peaceful family break.

Great Beach House

My friend & I had an amazing time at Janette's beach house. Janette was very helpful, it's close to shops, the beach is literally across the road & the pool is just a perfect way to relax. Our dogs also enjoyed the fenced in yard. Thank you Janette, we will definitely be back!

Holiday time at the beach

Family came from Canada for a wedding and were looking for holiday time at the beach. This was the ideal spot. Accross the street from beach, not far from McQuarry Lake, pub, bakery and groceries. Had a wonderful time. We also fished the surf, the break wall and entered the Lake Mac fishing derby. Had a great time.

Short and sweet

Unfortunately we were only there for one night and most of that was at a family function so we were not really able to appreciate the house or area to any great extend. Our stay for 7 adults from 30 to 90 yo was very comfortable. Oh, we took our two small dogs and the house and yard is very dog friendly. We used a local dig sitter while we were out. All up, it was a very good stay.

Our stay was very good. There were a few things unavailable due to things being not working but we managed to make do. The house was definitely large enough for everyone not to be on top of each other and the children (both little and big) had areas to play in. The ‘big’ kids were very happy to relive their childhoods with the pinball and arcade game machines. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed and the great sized fridge n freezer excellent for all our food and drinks. The beds comfortable and bedrooms sized fine. There was plenty of hot water and both showers good sizes. It was also helpful having under cover parking with access to house for unpacking in the rain. The access to the house was easy and instructions very clear.Thanks so much Janette and Wayne for letting us use your house. Ps I forgot to take photos

We stayed for 3 days in this property from a Friday - Sunday with a family of 6, made up of 3 adults and 3 kids (ages 6-15).This property had ample space to accommodate our group and the highlight was the great entertainment area (which had a pool table, pinball machine and arcade machine) and also a central location for day trips to the Hunter Valley (1 hour drive) and Newcastle (30 minute drive). It was also across the road from the beach which was nice for a morning run. The location is nice and quiet.The property itself has lots of character and charm and had all the amenities required for a comfortable stay. There is a carport for two vehicles to park off street. All bedrooms had split system air conditioning units. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, bowls and cutlery and had a stove, microwave, dishwasher, kettle and toaster.We had a great stay and would recommend this property for larger families.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was spacious, well appointed and clean. The location, across the road from beach access, was perfect. And we especially loved the games room for a bit of family fun.It was also a great choice for our first holiday with our pup — the property felt very secure, which gave us peace of mind. The host was lovely and made everything easy. Would definitely stay again!

The perfect holiday house

We just returned from a 4 day break staying at this amazing house. Amazing location with the beach across the road. Perfect for our family, we didn't need to leave. From a games room with a pool table, pingpong table, arcade games,pinball machine to good selection of dvds and books. House is exactly as described, plenty of room, loved the 2 bathrooms, great outdoor undercover area with a BBQ next to the pool. Fully fenced yard, perfect for your furry family members to run around as well. Dogs beach right at your door step as well. Only downside to this house is we weren't there long enough! We will definitely be back.

Very homey and relaxing

Everything was very nice and comfortable and super clean! Such a convenient location across the road from beach with enough space in the house and outdoor area and pool for stay-in activities. Janette was lovely and super flexible and helpful! Kitchen was perfect for all meals and had everything we needed! Really enjoyed the array of arcade games and board games and pool and bbq and it was perfect for a weekend away! Will definitely stay again!
