Very peaceful accommodation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Malcom and Penny were very friendly and accommodating and they have a lovely garden The position of the studio was perfect, right on the lake, very private, very quiet and well appointed. It was quite close to Toronto for coffee shops and restaurants and a central point exploring for the area. Thoroughly recommend Shanes Seafood Shop which is not on the main street

A place for simple pleasures
Nothing fancy here. This home and its hosts are old world, warm, welcoming and comfortable. Come here to destress from harsh and fast city life. Slow down and bathe in the sunshine, listen to the gently lapping waters of Lake Macquarie, wander into town along the waterfront or just count shells and paddle about in the shallow waters of your beach. The most stress you'll endure during your stay is having to decide which cafe to hang in. This place is honey for the soul. Thank you to the owners for sharing it with us.

The unit is situated on lake Macquarie and has a wonderful outlook. There is a small kitchenette and it has the basics, tho a bit crammed in. The unit is close to the Toronto shops and was comfortable to stay in.

Perfect Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary weekend at this charming cottage right on the waterfront. The cottage contained everything you could need and the bed was extremely comfortable. Being able to throw a line in right out the front of the cottage was a bonus. It is only a short walk into town where there are fabulous restaurants and boutiques. Wonderful hosts ensure we will be making a return visit!

Great Location
Our stay at Tranquil Shores was so peaceful and relaxing. Close to waters edge so hubby could cast a line whenever he wanted. The re view over the Lake from the picture window or from the lawn were so relaxing. Short walk to great restaurants, pub and sailing club. Malcolm and Penny very welcoming. Thank you for letting us share this beautiful location.
