Very Relaxing
Thank you for another great stay. We stayed here last year with family and returned this year and the place was clean, plenty to do and very relaxing. Stephen was great with communicating with me and we had a great weekend away. Thank you for an amazing stay at the Lakehouse yet again.

Beautiful house with everything we needed. Highlight for us was being on the waterfront, and watching the sunsets, table tennis and pool, and the friendly ducks who came to visit every day! Thank you Stephen for the stay. We hope we can visit again!

Great family weekend away despite wet weather
We had a wonderful family weekend away with three generations and the property suited us perfectly. We had no luck with the weather as it rained for the entire weekend, but despite this, we still had plenty of things to do and enjoy. We had many games to choose from and the pool table was a hit with young and old. The kitchen was well equipped with all that we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the house is well presented. The view and setting outside is better than the photos and I imagine it would be stunning in dry/warmer weather, with even more for families to enjoy. We had a query about the TV and the owner was very responsive and also allowed us a late checkout which was greatly appreciated. Lovely weekend spent making memories with family.

Beautiful Location - Spacious Accommodation
A great 10 days at the Sand Lake House. Even on two days of rain the lake location was beautiful, and peaceful. Lots of room for the 9 of us, plenty to do - use of the kayaks, paddle boards, pool table, table tennis - internet and cable TV - a home away from home, but on Lake Macquarie. Plenty to do nearby - recommend Lake Mac WaterSports for boat hire. Friendly local shops 1km away provide most day to day needs - bread, milk, paper, bottle-shop, groceries....etc Generous sized and comfortable living, eating and sleeping areas - heaps of room over 2 levels. Host Steven was easily accessible when needed for local advice. I have had an association with Lake Macquarie for many many years, and Sand Lake House presents all of the benefits and beauty of Lake Mac - highly recommended.

Lovely
The house is really lovely, lots of space, we had 8 adults & were very comfortable. Plenty of seating & big lounges. Plenty of plates, cutlery, cooking essentials & is great to have some of the basics provided as well. We loved visits from the local ducks, they didn’t like the lettuce as suggested but absolutely loved the peas!! Unfortunately it did rain for a few days of our stay, but having the pool table was a bonus! Our only suggestion would be to add a dryer into the house, as this would have helped getting towels dried, we did used the line provided in the garage but nothing was drying due to it being so wet. Stephens communication was great. Overall, it’s a really lovely house & the view is amazing, definitely worth a visit.

Fabulous Short Stay
The property presented as listed, down to the fairy lights outside. The bedroom configuration and general layout suited 9 adults and 2 children perfectly. Enough room to be together and enough space to have some time to yourself. The garden was roomy for playing games and the jetty was a great fishing spot. The kitchen was also well equipped with enough glasses, crockery, cutlery and serving dishes. A bonus was the easy walking along the foreshore to go exploring. Overall, a fabulous house and location!

Nothing I can fault
Our trip was so memorable, the location is so convenient for shopping. The house is very kids friendly we had marshmallows on the fire pit. Very spacious living areas as well. The only one thing I would recommend is it would be nice if we have dryers as the 4 days we at the house it was raining and even if we hang our clothes it would not dry up. Other than that, Stephen has been so accommodating and helpful. Will definitely recommend to family and friends as 4 to 5 star rating 🙌 Thank you Stephen for allowing us to create beautiful memories in this lovely home 🙏

Absolutely fabulous!
The location of the property is just beautiful, with the water’s edge just a few metres from the back deck. Peaceful, tranquil, calming… Inside was also fabulous, with bedrooms and bathrooms galore - the upstairs master suite is amazing! Everything was very clean and beautifully presented. The host, Stephen, is extremely professional and easy to contact. We will definitely be back!

Bathrooms Listings
I think that the bathroom listing should just say 3 bathrooms with two separate toilets and not 5 bathrooms - 3 bathrooms -2 half bathrooms which I interpreted to be 2 ensuites and not 2 toilets which was the reality.

The Perfect Weekend Away
The property and location is amazing! Very spacious, with almost everything for a weekend away already provided. We spent the weekend away as a group of 7, which all had such a great time. The weather ended being the best, which allowed us to use the kayaks/board to further explore the location. This place is a home away from home, it was that comfortable! The check in / check out communication was just unbelievably so easy. I've never communicated with any other owners as well as I did with Stephen. We all thank you for such an amazing experience and look forward to visiting again. Thanks again Stephen.

Family Reunion
We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at this well appointed property. As Grandparents spending time with two of our children and their families it was ideal. The kids had a terrific time playing pool, ping pong and kayaking. The kitchen had everything we needed and the deck and bbq were fabulous. It was so relaxing to sit by the fire pit and have the view of the lake at the end of the garden All the beds were comfortable with good quality linen. The bathrooms are modern and very clean If you are looking for a place in a beautiful setting with plenty to keep the kids and the adults happy, this is it.
