Treehouse near the Beach

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed for a week and loved it. The house is so peaceful and perfect for chilling out. Avoca Beach and Copacabana Beach are close by and have everything you need. The house was spotless and Henk gave thorough instructions and hints when checking in. I loved that there weren’t signs and instructions all through the house like some other airbnbs we have stayed at - it made it feel more like home.

Fox & Hound Farm Stay: Self Contained Accomodation

BrodieRating, 5 stars5 months ago
3 night stay with 2 toddlers. It was a great quite location collocated on small rural property. Would recommend for a nice quiet weekend away. BYO food etc if on a budget, otherwise plan for 15-30-60min drives to the surrounding area to try various cafes. The accommodation is an old barn converted into modern two story self contained apartment. Small funtional kitchen with the essentials provided to assist prepare/cook meals and full size fridge. The two bedrooms rooms were spacious an provided space for a portable cot. Our toddlers were pleasantly surprised by the birds and dog who visited on occasion. David was a great host and was proactive to provide clear directions on check-in, arrival and local tips on travel plans. He remained responsive during our stay for follow up questions.

Luxury Coastal Living.

TahneeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a beautiful relaxing stay here for a girls weekend! Such beautiful views and the house was very comfortable and spacious. House was a little difficult to find at first using GPS and also for our grocery delivery, but once we were there using Michael’s instructions it was fine. About a 10 minute walk to the beach or short 2 minute drive. During our stay we got a local masseuse to come to the house for massages which was a real treat, Kat’s remedial massage, highly recommend she was absolutely amazing and located on the same street. We would definitely come and stay again if we were in the area! Thanks Michael!!

Your guide to Caves Beach

Welcome to Caves Beach

If ever a destination was accurately named, Caves Beach is it. Located on the Swansea Peninsula north of Sydney — between Lake Macquarie (the largest saltwater lake in the Southern Hemisphere) and the Pacific Ocean — this tiny town hosts a wide array of sea caves, with long stretches of powdery sand linking each. But its natural assets extend beyond its eponymous features: like the surrounding national parkland and hinterland mountains, draped with forest and offering a mecca for adventure enthusiasts. Any stay here is a step back in time in the best possible way, with the clock slowed to allow for long days of boating, swimming, fishing, and just doing, well, not that much at all. The best Caves Beach days end with ocean-fresh fish and chips, enjoyed with your feet nestled in the sand by the water’s edge.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Caves Beach

This part of the North Coast of New South Wales becomes very busy in Australia’s warmer months, when Caves Beach is patrolled by lifesavers from September to April. Swim between the flags to stay safe. If you aren’t a swimmer or a surfer, peak season to book an accommodation is between May and November, when hiking opportunities abound and when more than 25,000 humpback and southern right whales steam up and down Australia’s east coast on their annual migration. Given their numbers, you’ll likely spot them breaching and blowing from the shore at numerous lookouts along the Swansea Peninsula.


Top things to do in Caves Beach

Lake Macquarie

Lake Macquarie spans a mind-blowing 32 kilometres (20 miles) of coastline and is twice the size of Sydney Harbour. It’s also the largest saltwater lagoon in the Southern Hemisphere, which means plenty of space for uninterrupted swimming, surfing, boating, fishing, or just relaxing on golden sandy beaches. Most lakeside towns here have epic farmers’ or craft markets — be sure to pick up local produce, seafood, or artisan bread for your stay.

Newcastle

Newcastle lies just north of Caves Beach. It may not be the biggest city in New South Wales, but it takes home other records as Australia’s second-oldest city and the state’s busiest sea port. Visit to surf, cruise, swim in historic ocean pools, or spot dolphins along epic coastal trails. Then explore atmospheric neighbourhoods like Cooks Hill, home to galleries, design stores, and cool cafes.

Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie

This regional gallery hosts world-class exhibitions, many of which spotlight artists with a connection to the area. Peruse works — including pieces in the sculpture park — by notable local creatives and learn about the region’s Aboriginal community and prominent figures in the process. If you’re inspired by what you see, take an art class here, or pick up a glossy book in the well-curated gift shop.
