About this property
Cosy little cottage in Brightwaters NSW close to the shores of Lake Macquarie.
Cosy little cottage in Brightwaters, NSW, close to the shores of Lake Macquarie. A standalone home next to our abode at the higher point of the hill giving you glimpses of the lake and sea breezes. Nothing fancy, but a clean, quiet and safe place to stay. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, with the lower bathroom also equipped with a washer and dryer. There is enough space for one car to park on the property, and additional parking is available on the street. The kitchen includes a stove, oven, kettle, toaster, coffee grinder, and coffee plunger. Outside, there's a BBQ on the deck and a fire pit on the lawn.
We love animals but in the interest of the local birds, wildlife and fencing we have a "no pets policy."

Everything was in working order. The place was clean, the beds were soft, the hosts were highly hospitable. Thank you George and Emma! The location was a lovely, quiet place in walking distance from the water, with a peaceful garden that attracted birds.

Thanks George and Emma for a lovely stay. Highly recommend their place. easy drive from Sydney to lovely Lake Mac. Hosts were able to accommodate a sometimes tricky special need without any fuss. which was very helpful and and appreciated
Clean and tidy, well equipt cottage.Owners home is on property also, so you share driveway and some spaces.No waterfront access from property. In a convenient location, close to everything. Waterfront access just a block away.Comfy bed, no aircon in main though.
Really enjoyed our relaxing stay at Brightwater. Great little cottage, very clean & tidy with all the appliances you need. Very peaceful to sit on the veranda & watch the birds. Checking in & out was very easy & George the owner was lovely to deal with - thank you! Awesome location that allowed us to travel & enjoy the Hunter Valley, Newcastle & the Entrance. We can’t wait to visit again
We had a great experience staying here. The location is amazing with close proximity to the lake. It is very peaceful and we had a surprisingly awesome star gazing experience from the property itself! The host George is very helpful and approachable. We had no issues and George had made the fire pit ready for us to use before we got there. The kids loved it too. Highly recommended!
Cannot recommend this place enough. Spotlessly clean in a beautiful nature setting with views of the Lake. The owner went out of his way to make sure we were okay. Forever grateful .

Many thanks to Georgy and his wife for the warm welcome. The house is very cozy and has everything I needed. Especially a comfortable mattress for my sore back. My grandson and I fed and stroked the rabbits. He was very pleased.
Thanks to George and Emma, we had a perfect family trip. The firewood they prepared for us made for an unforgettable, beautiful night. We're also grateful for the free-range eggs and the crops. Every morning, we were visited by many birds, rabbits, ducks, and other animals, which made the time fly by. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, and at night, the stars are just breathtaking. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it to everyone!
We had a great stay at George's place. Comfortable and cosy. We tried the local coffee shop, fish and chip shop, and pub and found they were all great meals.
