About this property

Wangi Lakehouse Cottage Lake Macquarie

  • Summary:

    Beautifully appointed three-bedroom waterfront cottage, where quality, comfort, and an unbeatable location come together.



    The Space:

    Welcome to this beautifully appointed three-bedroom waterfront cottage, where quality, comfort, and an unbeatable location come together. Boasting stunning water views and a prime position right on the shoreline, this charming home offers the perfect setting for a relaxed family getaway or peaceful coastal escape.



    Enjoy seamless indoor–outdoor living, with a spacious deck overlooking the water—ideal for unwinding, firing up the BBQ, and taking in the tranquil surroundings. A shared waterfront walking and bike track runs nearby, making it easy for families and guests of all ages to explore and enjoy the area at their own pace.



    Just a short, scenic stroll along the waterfront path brings you to local shops, cafés, restaurants, hotels, and clubs, ensuring everything you need is conveniently close while still feeling wonderfully removed in this warm, family-friendly home.



    *Important Advice: Any guest wishing to fish in the waters of Lake Macquarie must comply with the relevant laws as defined in the Fisheries Management Act 1994. This includes (but is not limited to), holding a fishing licence where necessary, knowing and respecting bag & size limits and not fishing in protected waters. Please note that many areas of Lake Macquarie house Razor Clams - please don't take risks and always wear solid footwear when walking through water or playing on shoreline rocks. Any guest intending to use crab pots are reminded to not place them within the vicinity of any moored vessel on the Lake. Pots can move in lake tidal waters & the wind and can cause stressful and extremely costly damage to our neighbours boats. Crab pot lines easily become wrapped around props and keels as well as mooring lines. When this happens, it is not a simple matter of removing the crab pot line, it can cost up to $20000 in repairs to the damaged equipment on the boat. Guests may be held liable against a damage claim so a clear reminder to be wary of placement and at all times to respect neighbouring property.



    THE IMPORTANT STUFF -

    This is a 3 bedroom cottage offering bedding up to 6 guests.

    Bedroom 1 - Queen

    Bedroom 2 - Double

    Bedroom 3 - 1 x Single + 1 x Trundle



    Important note for party planners:

    Unfortunately, this is not the property for you. It is in a quiet retiree neighbourhood, so a hens/bucks/schoolies type celebration is not appropriate. We can easily determine if the house rule of “No parties or events” is disrespected, and this means additional charges and/or eviction will apply, which everyone wants to avoid. If you are unsure, please enquire before booking.





    Arrival Details: Access to the property is made simple. You’ll receive an access code via SMS just before 3pm on your arrival day, which you’ll use for the duration of your stay. Standard check-in is at 3pm. While an earlier arrival may be possible, it cannot be confirmed until the afternoon prior to your arrival. If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm.



    Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO.



    Wi-Fi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's Wi-Fi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason.



    Pools: If the property has a Swimming Pool then it will be opened for swimming for the start of the NSW September School Holidays and closed and Winterised immediately after the NSW Easter School Holidays have been completed.



    No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior.



    Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.



    Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There are no external security cameras at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install external cameras at their discretion. Any camera install will be in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct.



    Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.



    Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.





    This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.



    We look forward to having you stay with us.

    Check-in is made super easy with Weekenda - we will provide access codes via text just prior to our standard arrival time of 2pm. An early arrival is possible but cannot be confirmed until the morning of a reservation direct with our office.



    Please Note: All reservations operate under a strict No-Party & Excessive Noise Policy. This property is located in a residential area and has neighbouring residents to consider. This does not mean you can't enjoy yourselves, it simply means noise must be limited in the late evenings and respect of the property’s surroundings must be taken at all times. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy.

    We are open for any questions, assistance or issues 24hrs a day, 365 days a year via our office call centre.

The communication was so good and helpful. Thank you. Easy access was another plus. We enjoyed lovely views over the lake as we entered the house. It is next to a perfect walking path alongside the lake. Perfect house for our needs with a huge main area to socialize in, with a real holiday atmosphere.

Fabulous location

Excellent location. The view as you open the door is just amazing. Location is superb, close to shops, restaurants and clubs. The house has so much to offer, perfect deck to take in the sunset with automatic awnings if needed. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Coffee machine supplied, dishwashing tablets and even washing machine capsules. We had a perfect weekend away. Best Portuguese tarts and pastries available at Vita Patisserie.

Water views

We loved the view of Lake Macquarie and the beautiful walking path right beside the lake. As mentioned in a previous review we found the tedious process of supplying a code to obtain a key for access frustrating. The house was spacious but the cleaning was very average resulting in a very dusty bed frame and poorly cleaned areas in the kitchen. Overall it was disappointing.

Lovely house on the water front, well equipped and maintained. Nice to have a well equipped kitchen and plenty of crockery and glassware. Wangi is a great place to relax, plenty of dinning and shops a short walk away. Looking forward to returning.

Our holiday at Wangi Lakehouse on Lake Maquarrie.

Wangi Lakehouse is in a perfect position on the lake close to shops and RSL for a night out, quiet area. We found a few faulty appliances, gas BBQ needs the jets cleaned as food will not not cook evenly, the oven needed a clean and the microwave was hard to get started, just minor things need attending to, that will make things better for future holidaymakers.

We enjoyed our stay - the place was convenient and generally well looked after. Even though the booking was through Stayz, all communication (including payment) involved a separate property manager which was confusing.

Beautiful location. Poor cleanliness

First impressions were good, fantastic location, amazing view, modern decor. The house had everything a family could possibly need for a few days away. Unfortunately the property was quiet grotty, we pretty much had to wash plates/cups/up as we went as everything in the cupboards/drawers were dirty. The fridge was dirty, there was hair that didn’t belong to my family in the shower and in the “fresh made” beds. We found a dirty cotton tip with ear wax on the it on a shelf in the bedroom. Ceiling fans were caked with dirt and dust, the bbq was disgusting, like it hadn’t been cleaned in a few months. Floors looked like they’d been quickly vaccummed and surfaced wiped down but not very well. We expected more considering the price we paid and considering we are in the middle of a pandemic where cleanliness is EVERYTHING. The cleanliness just cheapened the experience for us unfortunately. We contacted the property manager Weekenda directly and they offered a 10% discount on any future holidays with them which we declined.
