Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Macquarie

We loved Janine and Henk's place the moment we stepped inside. The place felt like a home away from home and was so tranquil being up in the trees especially as it was raining outside. It was a short drive to Avoca Beach with amenities close by.

Had a fantastic stay at Donna’s cottage in Kahibah. The cottage is very spacious and homely and makes you feel totally relaxed and comfortable from the moment you walk in. Visited with my partner and grown up daughter who also both loved the place. The location is also great with the coffee shop across the road, which we visited a couple of times on our two day stay as well as handy local stores. Also spent the day at fantastic Dudley beach before a sunset walk at Glenrock conservation area, both within a 5 minute drive.

We had a great stay in Peter's 'shack'! It is bright, spacious and comfortable. Despite hot weather, it receives a lovely cool breeze, keeping the temperature down. Kitchen & bathroom were well stocked & it was peaceful and relaxing to sit out on the deck. Peter was responsive and accommodating and I would definitely stay again on future holidays.

Great place to stay as a base to enjoy the hunter with some great recommendations from Mark! Place is well equipped, clean and has a lovely deck to sit out and have a bbq in the evenings.

10/10 would stay again at Amy’s, it was nice and cozy. Exactly what we needed for the big weekend we had in Newcastle. Will 100% book again if available next time we’re in town ☺️ Nice and cold aircon, washer and dryer, and comfortable bedding.

The home is beautiful. Interior design furnishings and accessories are high end. The house had everything we needed. The trees and vegetation surrounding the house are breathtaking . The walk to the beach is approx 15 minutes and if you have little ones or surfboards expect to drive as it is quite hilly. The house is hard to leave, very peaceful.

We love spending time beach time, we have made it an annual holiday tradition! Geoff and Kellie do an amazing job and the house is beautiful! It’s a home away from home and you feel safe visiting with your dogs. We hate leaving and count down the days till we are back again.

Had such a beautiful peaceful stay 🙏the house was perfect and so close to the beach. Beautiful back entertainment area also. And the host was lovely and very fast msg response! I will definitely be booking again

Wild Woods cabin amongst the trees and birds is a quiet and comfortable weekend escape. Perfect position away from the traffic yet close to the vineyards. We’ll be back!

Had a great stay, Beautiful part of Australia. Place is close to beach and the pool and bungalow is nice and private. Little touches like bread, eggs and a few beers in fridge were much appreciated and added to the experience. Would highly recommend

This lakeside home is the perfect getaway for large family gatherings for all ages! The pool was AMAZING, the pool table was used constantly, the kitchen was well stocked and the 3 main bedrooms has the most incredible views. The beds were all very comfortable, and there were multiple TVs to suit everyone. The bathrooms were spacious and modern. The views were stunning across the lake, especially at sunset. our family of 13 had a very special and memorable stay. Justin's videos were very helpful and his communication was excellent.

Amazing getaway house absolutely beautiful! Tamara replied instantly and was super helpful

Victoria was a wonderful host and the location was perfect. so peaceful and just what I was looking for. There was easy access to the mountain for a bush walk and spectacular views of the bay. The unit was equipped with everything we needed. would recommend for a peaceful stay.

This place was absolutely perfect for our large group of adults and kids Tanya was a great host, came over to say hi and introduce herself. the amenities were great, we didn't feel the need to leave the house for the whole weekend. Kind of house you wished you stayed an extra day in. will defs be back

Our stay at Sascha’s Retreat was fantastic! An absolutely amazing property with so much to do that you don’t ever need to leave. It is in a beautiful and private location with views as far as the eye can see, and has everything you need for an action-packed weekend or a peaceful getaway. Stephen was a brilliant host, extremely responsive to any queries, super friendly and helpful. We will most definitely be returning and highly recommend Sascha’s Retreat.

Just wow - one of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed in and only a stone throw from Sydney. We booked Villa Nessi for my wife’s 30th and were extremely impressed. You basically get keys (or a code) to paradise for a weekend. The property is stunning with an enormous pool and spa. We ended up making full use of all the inclusions. Absolutely bang for buck value for money wise, especially if you are splitting amongst all your guests. It’s the perfect place to spend a weekend or work from home during the week. Internet is super fast. It’s an even better place to celebrate a milestone with friends, the house is huge, clean, well appointed and has everything you could possibly ask for. I recommend sourcing some quality meats as the bbq is powerful and the view so nice you don’t want to leave. Good selection of onsite activities to keep busy. The hosts are easy to deal with, super friendly but not intrusive and the whole stay was a very pleasant experience. Will be coming back!

Our stay at Karen's property was fabulous, just the right peaceful mini break that we so needed. The whole property is beautiful, peaceful, and well looked after, you can even have a few shots of golf. We all loved the pool such a nice added Bonus, we were there every day after going to the beach (or even before some days haha), it's lovely at night with the lights. The guest house is exactly as per the photos in the ad, actually, it feels a bigger space than the photos. The kitchen is well stocked to do some cooking if needed. Our 8 yo boy loved spending time with Zoey (their dog), who is just gorgeous and has such a lovely nature, he also really enjoyed being in charge of feeding the chickens and checking for eggs :-). Karen and Richard are lovely hosts, super accommodating and friendly but also respectful of your privacy, the perfect balance. It was a lovely stay and we hope we can be back soon, our son has already asked when we can go back. Thanks again Karen and Richard :-)

This is the second time I’ve stayed and it was fabulous. DiMarco is very responsive to any questions and is close by to pop around and sort out any issues which is fantastic. It is very quiet and a short drive to great cafes and restaurants. I love being able to have my dog with me and it’s an easy walk to the bay nearby which is dog friendly. Or a short drive to the dog friendly off leash beach at Ettalong. The cafes and shops are also dog friendly. The Palm Beach ferry is also close by if you want a day trip. I’ll definitely be back.

Easy, quiet and clean. Really close to the beach and added bonus of the pool. Macmasters also has a great ocean pool and park which we loved for our young family. House has modern appliances and has everything you need for your get away. Hosts are very accommodating. Highly recommended!

The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The place was fantastic. Super suitable for family and friends staying together for holidays

Yantra has a beautiful house and a lovely properly. It was a wonderful stay, so peaceful. I would definitely come back! Communication was great and the environment was so welcoming.

The house was incredibly spacious and had so many great amenities for us to enjoy. It was located in a peaceful and secluded area, making it the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing getaway. So glad we got to experience it!

Simon is an amazing host. Very friendly and welcoming. My wife and I stayed along with our Beagle and felt extremely comfortable. Very happy with the accommodation. Simon's place had everything we needed plus more. I highly recommend it if you need a place to stay in Newcastle. Simon won't let you down!!

Thank you for a lovely stay! The house was incredibly clean & had everything you need for a relaxing stay, including an extremely comfortable bed!! Very helpful host. Highly recommended.
