Lake Macquarie .... You can do a lot .... or you can just lounge back and do nothing!!

Discover the natural beauty of Lake Macquarie with its sandy lakeside foreshores, hidden coves, secluded bays and  majestic mountain backdrop. The Lake is the largest salt lake in the southern hemisphere, 4 times the size of Sydney Harbour and water based activities are a major part of everyday life.

Our Beaches are among the finest on the New South Wales North Coast, ideal for swimming, surfing & fishing.

The City itself, just South of Newcastle,  consists of a wide diversity of towns around the Lake and provides all the amenities that a large City offers .... Shopping Centres & Malls, Cinemas, Golf Courses, Restaurants, etc., etc. while still maintaining that small coastal village feel and atmosphere.

All our properties are in Eastern Lake Macquarie, a narrow strip of land running between the Lake and the Pacific Ocean and, while we divide our properties into either "Lakeside" or "Beachside", all are within 5 - 10 mins. drive from either.

All this and more  just ninety minutes drive from Sydney.
