Cottage holiday rentals in Lake Macquarie

I would highly recommend Karen’s place . It was one of the cleanest and well appointed houses I have stayed in . Lovely bedding , bathrooms immaculate and the spa worked without a glitch ! Not one negative thing to say . Thank you Karen for everything .

We stayed at the Love St Cottage for a family wedding at Peterson House and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The home was exactly as pictured—spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The location was super central, making it easy to get around, and the host was friendly and very responsive. Highly recommend!

A great location to relax before and after a wedding in the Hunter.

Wonderful place to stay for a relaxing time. Close enough to everything yet far enough away to be peaceful and secluded. The house was comfortable and kitchen was well kitted out.

This is a really lovely cottage in Stockton, clean, well-equipped and finished to a high standard. Handy for all the shops and for exploring the neighbouring areas. It was a perfect place for me to stay during a recent relocation to the area. I’m staying again next week and I’m really looking forward to coming back, it felt like home.

Lovely mid-week stay. Check in super easy, place had everything we needed. Large well fenced yard to keep our dogs secured. 10/10 - would stay again.

Peter and Mary’s place was a great getaway for friends while also feeling homely. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub, games room, and the great view from the outside balcony. The only downside was the sound of the cicada’s from the neighbouring tree’s that proved to be quite loud from early in the morning right through until the evening.

We stayed for two nights. The place is surrounded by nature and farms—you could hear cows and birds, which was really peaceful. The house was excellent and clean, and Jemma was a responsive host. Our phones didn’t have reception, so we were completely disconnected during our stay, which helped us truly relax and clear our minds.

Our stay with Sally and Romo was absolutely magical! Their cottage is impeccable - exactly as pictured, cozy and welcoming. Walking in to find freshly baked bread, homemade cookies and cakes was just the beginning. What makes this place extraordinary are Sally and Romo themselves. Their genuine warmth, joy and desire to connect made us feel like longtime friends rather than guests. Romo's personal tour of nearby towns and pubs was a highlight, as was the enchanting riverfront on their property. Our dogs had the time of their lives exploring the fields and meeting farm animals. The entire experience was filled with thoughtful touches and genuine hospitality. Our only regret? Not staying longer! We left with treats, memories, and new friends. Without doubt, this was our best Airbnb experience ever - we're already planning our return! Sally and Romo aren't just hosts, they're the epitome of hospitality and human connection.

Myself, husband and our dog Lenni had a wonderful stay at Glenn’s property. The property itself is absolutely amazing, stunning gardens and feel a million miles away even though you’re only a short drive to Morpeth which offers so much including cafes, boutique stores, and restaurant options, or alternatively the cottage has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking. Lenni had great fun with Glenn’s dogs and running free around the property. The pool and sauna were a great addition and we especially loved having a fire watching the sunset. 10/10 can’t recommend this place enough for a lovely relaxing getaway.

A lovely location and Barbara was very quick to respond and everything was as described. Would return!

The location and views of this place are truly beautiful. We loved being able to spend a quiet few days with our dog in this peaceful serene environment. The house was well equipped and we even managed to cook a few meals. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a break from the city and catch some beautiful sunrises.

We had the best stay at Tanya’s place. Walking distance and short drive to many vineyards and restaurants. Perfect cosy cottage, even when the weather is rainy. The huge spa bath and rain shower head is a big plus as well!! Our golden retriever Moose had an absolute blast and we will be back!

Perfect spot for exploring this part of Australia. Particularly loved the sunset views from decking. Would definately stay again.

We had a wonderful time at Somersby cottage. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. Our dog loved sitting on the deck and taking in the view and sniffing around the big, enclosed garden. Sally and Simon are perfect hosts. It was super easy to get to the beautiful beach and town of Umina and there are plenty of other things to do in close proximity. Thanks for an excellent getaway!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yattalunga Cottage. The house is spotless and has a great flow; the kitchen is well-equipped and spacious, and the backyard is super relaxing. We loved the little details around the house, painted rocks, paintings and trinkets. Not to mention, there is beautiful greenery both outside and inside. It really is a special place. Thank you, Josette, for having us; we will be coming back in the future!

This was our second time staying at this wonderful Airbnb, and once again, we had a fantastic experience! Our family loved the short, flat walk to the beach and arboretum — it’s perfect for easy trips back and forth. Our 4-year-old daughter was thrilled with the selection of toys, books, and arts and crafts, which kept her entertained for hours. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Communication with our host, Suzi, was both professional and friendly, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

Such a lovely stay! The space was spotless, stylish, and had everything I needed. Would love to come back!

Birdsong Cottage was a lovely spot to relax over summer. Easy walk to the beach and great location. The beds were super comfortable and house had lots of character with Jan’s trinkets and mementos. Jan was a great host and very responsive.

Was a lovely stay and Sarah was an excellent host. Coming back very quickly on any questions I had. The place was very clean and close to shops and the beaches not too far away. Would recommend a stay!

A beautiful spot for exploring the local area, well kitted out and comfortable for 3 people! Jo was a friendly and welcoming host, giving us local recommendations and sharing the history of this beautiful home. Thanks, Jo!

We had a lovely stay at Sally’s Everything about the place was 5 ⭐️. We can’t wait to come back again. Thanks Julia for making it an amazing Airbnb .

Gail is a responsive and thoughtful host. We were arriving late at night and Gail offered to leave lights on. Gail left us milk in the fridge and snacks which very much appreciated. She also provided umbrellas as it was raining all weekend! The place is spotless and styled beautifully. Beds and couch were comfy. Highly recommend.

Beautiful house, great location, lovely hosts. Definitely recommend.
