This property felt like home - great open spaces, amenities and that dock - what a way to spend the evening, watching the sunset and breathing in the serenity!
Nice modern house close to lake Macquarie. Amenities are very good. Everything you need. Only downside was the shallow water (not perfect for swimming) and very quite surrounding. No cafe or similar
We had a really relaxing stay. Good location. Clean. Property manager was responsive to our messages. Such a great place to just sit and relax. The kayaks were a hit with the kids.
The lakefront location with the grassed area adjacent the garden was brilliant for both the people and the dogs for leisure and play. Kayaks were a great extra thanks. The property is neat and tidy with a great open plan space for family activities.
Nice house and great place for both family and pets. Great location with the lake at your backyard. Little more maintenance around the back yard would make it better.
The house is well equipped and very comfortable. It was great to have the fire for the cool nights. It was a nice touch to have the welcome bottle of wine and biscuits. Lovely sitting out the back and watching the sun set across the lake.
Lovely modern house with good appliances and everything you need for a weekend away. Bedrooms are very spacious and the furnishings were nice. Great location for water activities, it was nice having access to the pontoon/jetty to fish and watch the world go by. Very pet friendly the back yard is fenced . Good communication with property manager. It is in a very quite location and away it all.
The place is fantastic and Kaitlyn the Agent was really amazing with her correspondence and prompt responses. The house offers plenty of varied spaces to relax and chill and the proximity to the lake was just awesome. Everyone commented as it was one of the best places they'd ever been to.
Cheers.

We were with a group of 6 friends, and we had the best relaxing weekend overlooking the calm lake and the natural quiteness. The property is very well maintained inside and outside with an extended deck which allows you to laze around the whole day . The owners and property managers have taken a lot of efforts to give the customers , us a special experience . Thank you we really enjoyed our stay .
We were a group of two families (4 adults and 4 kids) and we had the most wonderful stay! Communication with Kaitlyn and the team was easy, fast and much appreciated. The house was perfect - very clean, super comfy beds, well appointed kitchen, plenty of space for everyone. We loved the location and out look from the back towards the lake - particularly during the gorgeous sunsets we were treated to! Also a bonus were the kayaks which were enjoyed by all. We would love to return to Sunset Escape! Thanks for having us and providing a perfect place for our stay.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Relaxed and peaceful area. The house was perfect for us and had all we needed. Spotless (compliments to the cleaners). We did not attempt to use the table tennis because it appeared to have issues. (Wheel missing and broken strut). We would definitely stay again. It was just what we were after. Thankyou.
We enjoyed our stay, nice property. It had all the necessities for a lovely weekend. The family enjoyed the canoes. We took our 91yr old father and the property was perfect for the elderly with no steps. If I was to fault anything it would be the curtains in all rooms let down the property. They don’t work or close properly. Oh and although you can’t let your dog off the lead in the reserve out the back the rope system set up was great! Thank you for a nice weekend.

Sunset Escape is a lovely venue with a beautiful reserve and lake is very clean with comfortable furniture and amenities.The curtains are in a bad state of repair and it would be more comfortable in Summer if they were attended to.?
had a great stay for 4 nights in very tranquil environment. The property was exactly like advertised. Loved kayaking on the lake. The dogs loved it also.
