Very spacious, with almost everything for a weekend away already provided. We spent the weekend away as a group of 7, which all had such a great time. The weather ended being the best, which allowed us to use the kayaks/board to further explore the location. This place is a home away from home, it was that comfortable! The check in / check out communication was just unbelievably so easy. I've never communicated with any other owners as well as I did with Stephen. We all thank you for such an amazing experience and look forward to visiting again. Thanks again Stephen. ##### Pheara B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thi N.

The house is very kids friendly we had marshmallows on the fire pit. Very spacious living areas as well. The only one thing I would recommend is it would be nice if we have dryers as the 4 days we at the house it was raining and even if we hang our clothes it would not dry up. Other than that, Stephen has been so accommodating and helpful. Will definitely recommend to family and friends as 4 to 5 star rating 🙌 Thank you Stephen for allowing us to create beautiful memories in this lovely home 🙏 ##### Thi N.

We had no luck with the weather as it rained for the entire weekend, but despite this, we still had plenty of things to do and enjoy. We had many games to choose from and the pool table was a hit with young and old. The kitchen was well equipped with all that we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the house is well presented. The view and setting outside is better than the photos and I imagine it would be stunning in dry/warmer weather, with even more for families to enjoy. We had a query about the TV and the owner was very responsive and also allowed us a late checkout which was greatly appreciated. Lovely weekend spent making memories with family. ##### Rachel R.

Even on two days of rain the lake location was beautiful, and peaceful. Lots of room for the 9 of us, plenty to do - use of the kayaks, paddle boards, pool table, table tennis - internet and cable TV - a home away from home, but on Lake Macquarie. Plenty to do nearby - recommend Lake Mac WaterSports for boat hire. Friendly local shops 1km away provide most day to day needs - bread, milk, paper, bottle-shop, groceries....etc Generous sized and comfortable living, eating and sleeping areas - heaps of room over 2 levels. Host Steven was easily accessible when needed for local advice. I have had an association with Lake Macquarie for many many years, and Sand Lake House presents all of the benefits and beauty of Lake Mac - highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bianca C. Nov 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely The house is really lovely, lots of space, we had 8 adults & were very comfortable. Plenty of seating & big lounges. Plenty of plates, cutlery, cooking essentials & is great to have some of the basics provided as well. We loved visits from the local ducks, they didn’t like the lettuce as suggested but absolutely loved the peas!! Unfortunately it did rain for a few days of our stay, but having the pool table was a bonus! Our only suggestion would be to add a dryer into the house, as this would have helped getting towels dried, we did used the line provided in the garage but nothing was drying due to it being so wet. Stephens communication was great. Overall, it’s a really lovely house & the view is amazing, definitely worth a visit. ##### Bianca C. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynette W.

The bedroom configuration and general layout suited 9 adults and 2 children perfectly. Enough room to be together and enough space to have some time to yourself. The garden was roomy for playing games and the jetty was a great fishing spot. The kitchen was also well equipped with enough glasses, crockery, cutlery and serving dishes. A bonus was the easy walking along the foreshore to go exploring. Overall, a fabulous house and location! ##### Lynette W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kedar p.
