Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Macquarie

We had a really really great stay, the farm was gorgeous and the cabin was super comfy and clean. The outdoor jacuzzi lovely and Vickie and Roger were super responsive and friendly. Overall, we would absolutely recommend! Thanks again :)

We had a wonderful family vacation at Susan’s place! Her house was incredibly cozy and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Susan was also very accommodating and responsive to all our needs, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended! DJDVE

Very comfortable home in a lovely quiet and secure area. Very happy with our stay and would be keen to rebook another time .

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

We absolutely loved staying at Armando's place and felt very much at home! Each room met our needs perfectly, and the gardens were so lovely! It was great to see the many accessible features that were very tastefully done also. a great place to stay!

Cute cosy cottage in the middle of Cessnock, with enough outdoor space to give the dog some roaming space (and zoomies!), good central location where you can walk to the local pub and butcher, there’s Halls Park nearby green for a morning or evening dog walk too. Overall great value for money!

This is our third stay at Susana's place because we love the proximity to beach and bush and the lovely aesthetics of the home. Highlights for us are long dinners on the back balcony under the angophoras watching the sun set and early morning walks through Wyrrabalong National Park for a swim at Bateau Bay beach and a coffee at Bateau Beach Cafe on the way home. Our group of 7 find the home really comfortable and our annual holiday here really relaxing and refreshing.

The Boathouse was an absolute gem for a relaxing Easter getaway. It was beautifully set up, with breathtaking views and a ton of fun activities to keep us entertained. We went kayaking, fishing, and even took a ride on the motorboat. Tony and Liz were super friendly and gave us some good tips on the best spots to check out in the area.

Beautiful property, backed by an amazing host. You won’t be disappointed to stay here! Thank you for such a great weekend away.

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

Kate's place was exactly like the photos and a great location for what we wanted to do whilst in that region, not to mention the awesome view from the balcony! The only constructive (not negative) feedback was that we took our 4 month old German Shepherd puppy with us and didn't have any actual yard for the dog to roam around, or to do it's business, so were out and about walking the streets at all hours of the night to accommodate our dog requirements. Overall we loved Kate and her home but in regards to being pet friendly, perhaps not an active puppy dog. :-). We will certainly stay at Kates place again, just not with the dog. Thanks Kate!!

This listing was spacious, comfortable and had everything you need for a great weekend in the Hunter valley. Easy, secure parking and two great decks to enjoy

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

We live in the area and just needed a place to crash while we had some work done at home. The house is beautiful and airy and instructions were crystal clear. We loved having a little staycation in the best suburb in Newy!

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.

Amazing place. Felt really special the moment you stepped in. Tim has thought about every possible thing you would need for you stay. Thank you so much for the amazing experience.

We had the loveliest weekend staying at Terry’s place. It was exactly as described and had everything we needed. Graham, you are such a lovely, accommodating person and we feel so fortunate to have stayed at your place. You made us feel like we were looked after and cared for. We are so grateful for your kindness. The green tree frog in the bathroom was so exciting for two Sydney people! Thanks again!

Stewart's place is a pet friendly stay ideally situated 5 minutes away from the John Hunter Hospital. The accommodation was spacious & comfortable with a leafy outlook. Steward is a friendly host & our stay was perfect for what we needed.

This was a really great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….highly recommend!

Great New Years experience. The cottage was in a private area, but still close to different sites like the Hunter Valley Gardens, it was a great getaway from the city!!

Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part

Tania is a great host. We found the accomodation private and very peaceful. The car park is secure. We didn’t face any issues during our stay. Tania was super responsive and we extremely like the stay.

Perfect house for a big family holiday! 6 adults and 1 tween - plenty of space for everyone! Loved the open layout of the house and all the lovely windows! We made great use of the pool and we loved the short stroll to the beautiful Macmasters Beach. The pool & ping pong table got a lot of use with our crew and provided hours of entertainment! Would happily stay again anytime!
