Treehouse near the Beach

VanessaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Cooks Hill Chalets - Grande

Johanna J.Rating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This home was everything we needed while visiting my in-laws. We were a group of six and the rooms were comfortable, roomy, and inviting. We walked all over. Starting from Jacqui's place we went down to the harbor for dinner one night. One morning stopped for an early morning coffee at The House of Roast then up to the ANZAC Memorial Walk to enjoy the gorgeous ocean. We felt like we were coming home when we arrived at Jacqui's place. The natural light poured into the kitchen eating area. Although we were just too busy to turn on the TV our whole group was very comfy in the living room area. A couple of us needed to work for a stretch online and the wifi worked fine and dandy. We are so glad to have found this special place. ❤️

Corona Cottage - A Private Oasis

KathRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Definitely one of the best AirBnB we have stayed at. Judy and Bruce were welcoming, helpful and friendly, even allowing us to check in an hour early (after a very early start for an early flight). Corona cottage is delightful and has everything you could need for a relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, the sofa bed was rather squeaky, but comfortable according to our adult son who slept on it, and the queen bed was very comfortable. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the pool looked lovely (although we did not get to use it due to rainy weather). A nice touch was the fresh fruit bowl and continental breakfast supplied. Overall, an amazing place for our family to relax and unwind, I highly recommend it if you are visiting the area.

Home at the heart of the Entrance (4baths sleep18)

ThienRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Our group had an excellent stay at this property. The home was impeccably clean, well-furnished, and offered plenty of space for our large group. The amenities were exactly as described, and the location—just minutes from Tuggerah Lake—was perfect. Emelie was a standout host, offering excellent communication and thoughtful touches like late check-out Highly recommend.

Your guide to The Entrance

Welcome to The Entrance

A compact, picturesque town facing the channel where the Tuggerah Lake estuary opens up to the Pacific Ocean, the Entrance is at the northern tip of the New South Wales Central Coast region. This idyllic stretch of surf coast is bordered by the Hawkesbury River to the south and Lake Macquarie, an immense saltwater lake system, to the north. There’s a patrolled surf beach close to the town centre, near the opening to Tuggerah Lake, as well as ocean baths — three heritage-listed manmade rock pools — for those less confident in the water. As you’d expect, there are plenty of seafood restaurants in town, some enjoying expansive views of the ocean and the ever-present pelicans. With sections of Wyrrabalong National Park to the north and south of the Entrance, and sheltered lagoons and lakes on its doorstep, the town is an ideal destination for a chill coastal break.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in The Entrance

The Central Coast is a popular getaway for Sydneysiders, so it can get crowded during the holiday season and on long weekends. Try to avoid driving in at the start of a weekend, or leaving at the end of a weekend, when traffic can bank up. The warmer months from September through to the end of March are ideal for making the most of the coast, whether you want to laze on a beach or get out on a kayak on one of the many lakes and lagoons. Autumn and winter are made for hiking in the coastal national parks, with whales migrating north from May until August. And if you surf, you’ll find good waves all year round, with the sea temperature often around the same as the air temperature in winter.


Top things to do in The Entrance

Long Jetty

Around a 25-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride from the Entrance, Long Jetty is a hip enclave that’s easy to miss as you pass through on the highway. Grab a coffee at a funky cafe on the lake side of Long Jetty and browse stores selling vintage and pre-loved fashion and homewares. Then trek to the end of the eponymous long timber jetty, which extends 351 metres into Tuggerah Lake.

Spoon Bay Beach

You can have the water all to yourself at Spoon Bay Beach, a 15-minute drive to the south. To get to this secluded strip of sand in Wamberal Lagoon Nature Reserve, park on Spoon Bay Road and walk down the bush path to the unpatrolled beach.

Wyrrabalong National Park

The southern section of this national park starts in Bateau Bay, south of the Entrance. Take the Coast walking track from Bateau Beach through bushland and along cliff tops to Wyrrabalong Lookout on the headland at Forresters Beach — it’s around a 3.5-hour return walk.
