About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Lake Escape Cottage

The lake is at your door step with a short stroll to the Entrance for brunch or dinner. Or for the more energetic there are 12 kms of waterfront bicycle paths to explore.

This renovated sixties 4 bedroom house is 2 minutes walk to the lake. It has a sunny open plan living space opening out onto a deck and sunny private fully fenced garden. It is perfect for families or weekenders to come and chill out.

Accommodation

The house has 4 bedrooms. The first has a very comfortable queen sized bed. The second bedroom has a double bed. The third bedroom has two sets of bunks. At the end of this room there is another bedroom with a double bed. All mattresses are clean and of excellent quality. The house sleeps 4-5 adults and up to 5 children. Suitable for two families or two couples or a holiday with the grandparents! The dining and outdoor settings seat 8, with extra chairs available.

There is a fully equipped modern kitchen with a dishwasher, cooktop and Elextrolux oven and a good supply of cookware, glassware, plates and servery.

The house is provided with doonas and pillows and their covers, as well as tea towels. All of the linen is good quality and most of it is 100% cotton.

There is a selection of children's toys and books and a level grassed area and covered patio area with a large outdoor dining table. There is a gas BBQ next to the back patio.


Pet Friendly

Pets are welcome at the Lake Escape Cottage, so long as they don't go on the beds & furniture.

The back yard is fully fenced, with full height fences on all sides and a high side gate with spring closer. The front fly screen also has a door closer to block any surprise exits.

The side deck has also had wire mesh installed underneath to keep the area enclosed, if your pet hops down in the garden to explore.

The back yard is big enough for a small to medium sized dog to explore. The yard can also cater for a larger dog, but you will probably need to use the lake side walking tracks to keep them well exercised.

Please bring your own dog bedding. There is also a dog kennel, food & water bowls.

Three sisters and a relaxing weekend
We really enjoyed this well appointed and comfortable cottage, and its handy location walking distance to the lakeside walk, local cafes and op shops. Thankyou to our host Peter who was very responsive to our questions and provided everything we needed.

Loved the place!
Great house, very clean, chihuahua proof fences, was even allowed to bring my pet bird. Good communication from the host. Super quiet area but still close to everything. House had everything we needed for us and our doggo and I’ll say again super clean, prob cleanest holiday house we’ve stayed at. There is an odd step up and down between rooms if travelling with an elderly family member but not big steps.

Sanctuary for the family
We stayed at the Lakeside Cottage for a peaceful weekend. The property was perfectly located in a peaceful neighbourhood within walking distance of main shops, the lake and the coast. The Cottage is clean, with all the main amenities for a family stay (including a dog). The space was perfect for enjoying time together, but for also spending quiet time apart from each other. Overall, a perfectly tranquil gem on the Central Coast.
