Boat ramp not far from the property and could pull up during the day and go in and out from the shore. Close to beautiful Lake Munmorah National Park and the amazing beaches there. ##### Alison H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nina N. Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious, lake house Large property suitable for family/group weekends away. We stayed over the long Easter weekend and were very happy with the facilities. The property had backyard access to a lake, which we were able to kayak in with the kayaks availiable. Only suggestion is to stock property with basic necessities like S&P. Overall, would definitely come back for another stay. ##### Nina N.

We had a very good and comfortable stay at this property. Our group comprised of adults and children. The complimentary kayaks, bikes, surf boards etc. made our stay special. Although we could not make use of it, but the host accepted our request for early check-in which was great. Would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to have a great time next to the lake. ##### Naveedullah K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda M. Jun 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lakeside Paradise A beautiful warm charming home by the lakeside. We had my 9month old grandson with us who was delighted by the friendly ducks who came up to say hello in the backyard early in the morning. We went for early morning walks along the walkway behind the homes and watched the sunrise as boats headed out on the waterways. Everything we needed was available in the home with ample heating on those cool nights. Shopping for groceries was only a 10 minute drive away. We will most definitely be back again. Highly Recommended ##### Linda M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lothar M.
