Perfect pet friendly stay
Myself, my partner and our large dog stayed at Mick & Bel’s place and had a fantastic time. The accommodation had everything we needed and was the perfect place to leave our dog in the fully fenced yard. On low tide it’s great to be able to walk straight out into the lake, the water is shallow and perfect for swimming, kayaking, or taking a stroll. I’m a little sensitive to noise, so on the first night the sound of the traffic took a bit of getting used to, but by the second night it was barely noticeable. Highly recommend.

Great quick getaway
Great little spot for local swimming and beaches. Dog beach not far away. Quick drive to Shellharbour. Kiama, Wollongong or Berry. BUT was very windy so wasn’t able to truly enjoy the yard and hammock.

Lake house getaway
So relaxing staying by the lake. The house had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Our dog loved the backyard and kids pleasantly surprised to see the video arcade player. Our 2nd stay at the Lakehouse I’m sure it won’t be our last. Thanks to our hosts for a wonderful stay.

Great for the kids and dogs
We had such a nice time with the kids and dogs. The kayaks that were provided gave endless fun for the kids. Life jackets were also there for use. Great view. Great location. We took kids to Jamberoo action park which a very short drive from the property. There was huge variety of restaurants to get delivery or eat at. Communication with host was fantastic. Beds were so comfortable. Just a really easy home to stay in. House is on a main road but you wouldn’t know it Huge auto front gate locks everyone in nice n safe. Good sized yard. The dogs loved it We’ll be back !

Loved that it was right on the lake. Loved the layout. Loved the nice touches like different flavoured coffees, teas. Kids loved the bathbombs, hammock, guitars and kayaks. Shame it rained most of the time and there is no undercover area outside to sit and enjoy the view but could still enjoy from inside. We had a great stay!

Wonderful location & amenities
We had a great few days at Cudgeree Bay Lakehouse. Perfect for unwinding and relaxing, the location and facilities were exactly what we needed for a family mini break in summer. The sunsets were are a highlight. Our Pomeranian loved snuffling around the fully fenced backyard. We will definitely be back again.

The good: Property views were amazing!! Had its own jetty to fish on and view the sunse. Outdoor area is very beautiful They had everything you could possibly need and more! Fishing poles, even provided bait! Bonfire with logs available - although didn't use given the weather Bed is the most comfortable bed I've ever had on a vacation!! Sheets were very soft Views from bedrooms were amazing Adequate power points available Outdoor area is very dark once the sun goes down but they have fairy lights and a light sensor outside which was comforting. The beach is only about a 10min walk away. Had a lot of nice small touches like bathroom amenities (soap, toothbrush etc), coffee / tea), olive oil for cooking. They set up the oven so you could bake things in a foil tray which was nice. The property is on a main road (still not very many cars) but once you close the gates it feels very secure and safe. The bad: Utensils have seen better days Dishwasher had a weird smell Couch - in comparison to the beds - was not great and had seen better days. TV kept dropping out but turning it off and on seemed to do the trick. This property is a 10/10 even with the minor issues I had, I would stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, relaxing getaway.

Fantastic property
When we arrived at the location, we were astounded at how clean the house was and the lakeside view right outside the living room, the amenities were fantastic and the place was exactly the same as the photos posted online. The beach was also a 5 minute walk from the house. Overall very pleased with the stay.

The property in Windang was perfect for our large family that stayed for over a week. It had all the usual ameneties for living comfortably. We also got to experience fishing off the jetty and kayaking with the equipment provided. The bus stop directly outside allowed easy access to Wollongong.

Definitely would book again and added along with my accomodation list, the house itself was just beautiful inside and out, the view was just immaculate and you didn’t have to worry about cooking or travelling too far to the shops as there was cooking accessories available and the shops only 5 or 2 minutes to drive to, the instructions to check in was real simple and easy, a nice bonfire set up was provided with a big container full of logs and a big backyard to play some games with your family, it gets more active when you find a bunch of kayaks on the side of the house with fishing gear and some bait provided, communication with our host Debbie was brilliant and would respond within an hour, the house was that good my group and I didn’t want to go out on a Saturday night and wanted to use up the accommodation, once again I would definitely book here again. Thank-you very much for hosting us last weekend.
