This home is more than a retreat—it's a place to create moments you'll treasure forever. A Quiet and Serene Escape While this property is perfect for relaxation and enjoyment, it is situated in a peaceful neighbourhood where serenity is cherished. Out of respect for the community, this home is not suitable for noisy groups. Parties or gatherings are strictly prohibited, and no additional guests or visitors beyond the maximum of 8 are allowed without prior written approval. By embracing these guidelines, you help maintain the tranquil environment that makes this retreat so special. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as you indulge in the beauty of this lakeside escape. Experience the perfect balance of comfort, elegance, and nature at Balmoral Cove Bliss – your ideal lakefront getaway awaits! Due to the poor behaviour of a few, we are forced to mention that guests are NOT Able to use the neighbour's private waterfront or jetty but very welcome to use the Jetty and substantial waterfront attached to this address. THE Important Stuff This is a 4 bedroom Luxury home offering bedding up to 12 guests. Ground Floor : Bedroom 1: King bed, open ensuite (close main bedroom door for toilet privacy) First Floor : Bedroom 2: 1 x King bed Bedroom 3: 1 x Tri Bunk (Double bed and Single bunk) Bedroom 4: 1 x Tri Bunk (Double bed and Single bunk) Important note for party planners: Unfortunately, this is not the property for you. This home is located in a quiet neighbourhood, so a hens/bucks/schoolies type celebration is not appropriate. We can easily determine if the house rule of “No parties or events” is disrespected, and this means additional charges and/or eviction will apply, which everyone wants to avoid. If you are unsure, please enquire before booking. How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable. Arrival Details: Access to the property is made simple. You’ll receive an access code via SMS just before 3pm on your arrival day, which you’ll use for the duration of your stay. Standard check-in is at 3pm. While an earlier arrival may be possible, it cannot be confirmed until the afternoon prior to your arrival. If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm. Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO. Wifi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's wifi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason. Fires and Firewood: Internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the NSW Easter School Holidays up to before the NSW September School Holidays in line with NSW state fire restrictions. Please note: we will normally supply enough firewood, kindling & fire-starters for between 1-2 nights of your stay. For guests wishing to have additional fires, we suggest BYO Firewood, Kindling, and Starters which can be easily purchased from the local service stations. No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior. Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by, we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules. Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There is 1 external security camera installed at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install additional external cameras at their discretion. Camera is positioned to view the front door area for external security monitoring only. All cameras are installed in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct. Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests. Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents match will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties. Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo' This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between. We look forward to having you stay with us. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Shower ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67650000/67649000/67648928/00206318.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wangi Dreaming waterfront holiday home - walk to village Wangi Wangi - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $1,024 CA $1,024 total includes taxes & fees Oct 21 - Oct 22 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=67648928&PinnedHotelID=67648928&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57650000/57646000/57645929/cd41ecb2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Absolute Waterfront : Lakehouse Fishing Point - Waterfront, Pool, Jetty Fishing Point - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 7 reviews CA $1,000 CA $1,000 total includes taxes & fees Oct 20 - Oct 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=57645929&PinnedHotelID=57645929&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/62000000/61470000/61467300/61467300/9ff8c49b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Absolute waterfront, cute , 3 bedroom family cottage!
