Guest Reviews
- Richelle (10/5): Spectacular - Home was beautifully decorated, comfortable and kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. Location was excellent with great views of the water.
- BARBARA (10/5): We had such a lovely stay. Great location for watching our grandson compete at the state titles. Thanks so much for the -
- Prajakta (9/5): - Loved the location of the house - very close to the beach. The house was very clean and comfortable. All the minute things were well thought of - the ease of check in, the welcome note and unexpected gift, clear instructions, timely communication, the little tea and coffee bags with milk in the refrigerator, the dishwashing tablets, games for the little ones.... everything. It was a very peaceful stay with beautiful sunset views over the water! Would have been great if there was an additional bathroom. For larger groups, just 1 bathroom with an attached toilet might get busy. But no other issues at all.
- Lana (10/5): This is our 3rd stay at Waterside and it is perfect everytime. The hosts are amazing to deal with and reply really fast - Cleanliness, location and very well equiped with everything needed There is nothing we don’t like about this place.

- Kym (10/5): Perfect!! - We loved everything about this place. Awesome location, clean, comfy beds, and everything thought of for a wonderful stay. Communication and ease of check-in were great. We chose to stay here for our wedding night it was definitely the best decision. The hosts had left us a bottle of wine and chocolates upon arrival. We woke up to a beautiful waterview by just stepping out the front door. A short stroll to the beach and a coffee. Hopefully, this place will be available for us to spend our anniversary each year. Highly recommend!!
- Nunzio (10/5): - Location was great Nothing

- Jo (9/5): Amazing Waterside Retreat - The owners were very responsive and they even gave us complimentary wine and chocolates. The place was also very clean and comfortable, and the location was amazing. We liked everything. Perhaps, if there is a tiny request. We could've gotten more than 1 dishwasher tablet and perhaps more than one set of the small tubes of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We were a family of four who stayed for three days, but overall, the experience was superb!
- Mark (9/5): A lovely lake view shack to explore the Lake Macquarie area - Location is excellent with views over the lake entrance and only a short walk into Swansea and Blacksmiths Greeted with a box of chocolates and bottle of wine on arrival. Lots of room inside, comfortable beds, plenty of TV's, Excellent outdoor spaces (outside pergola area and front balcony). Shower cubicle is a bit unusual
- Megan (9/5): Superb -

The house is centrally located but far enough away from the highway to not be disturbed by any background noise and easy walking distance to Blacksmiths Beach. The house was very clean and tidy, with plenty of cleaning products and kitchen appliances which made our life very easy and comfortable. N/A

The house is deceptively spacious. Very clean, tidy with a very well equipped kitchen. It had everything you need.

- George (8/5): Nice and cosy - All was good tv needs to be upgraded couldn't conect my phone and I'm against pay TV
- Karen (10/5): Fabulous - Absolutely beautiful property and location , everything you need us available will definitely be back
- Ann (10/5): Magnificent in every way - The owners of this property have done an outstanding job converting it into holiday rental. I stayed there with my sister so we had plenty of space to relax and spread out. But there was lots of space for a family of 4-5 or a group of up to 4 friends. In addition there was a back yard and covered BBQ area. Modern appliances, plenty of heating options for cooler weather. Beautiful furniture and furnishings. Fantastic location - quiet area but close to everything. Five minutes drive to Swansea. Five minute walk to the break wall and Blacksmiths Beach. The lighting in the bedrooms - over head very dull and bed side lamps not great for reading - minor matter.
- Jarrad (9/5): Superb -
- Faamatala (10/5): beautiful home, kids can’t wait to come back - great location, cute little house with everything you need for a small family, the kids loved playing games, weather was a bit too windy to go fishing but we enjoyed exploring the area

- Sarah (10/5): A wonderful short stay, wish it could have been longer - the location of the property is brilliant. close to Swansea and Caves and being right across from the Channel meant lots of fishing as well

Loved the outdoor area and that everything was supplied. Was great that there were 2 toilets. Only 1 issue, we didnt know we needed to bring own toilet paper. 4 people 3 days, 2 rolls (1 in each toilet) just didnt cut it.
