Catherine is a wonderful host, very warm and helpful. The place is located in the quiet area. Exactly as described and presented on the photos: very clean, comfortable and perfectly organized. It has direct access to one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen, amazing retreat-like quality, just a piece of heaven to spend quality time. I wish, I could stay a bit longer and will definitely consider for the next visit in the area. Highly recommend!

Me and my wife had the opportunity to stay here recently and oh boy! What a place this was.. it's a beautiful home maintained amazingly well. Very courteous hosts, full of energy showing us around the house and where all the amenities were. The room had a private entrance and had everything that we needed .. tv fridge microwave utensils clothes hanger and even pamphlets of places around Port Macquarie. It was really cosy and comfortable and the hosts had also kept chocolates for us on the bed. It was nothing less than a resort experience. If you have a car and would like to have a relaxing stay away from hustle and bustle of the city then this is the place to be. Loved the stay and would definitely be back in future if I get a chance.

Wonderful hosts made our stay very welcomed. Thank you for waiting up for us to show us around, we would loved to stay longer in the area, the lake and the small beach area looked very inviting The room was clean and perfect for our one nights stay.

Lovely room tucked to the side of the house, clean, neat and a perfect little getaway. We walked to the river in the morning for a beautiful swim. Catherine and Gary were absolutely lovely and welcoming- they even sat down to accompany us while we had a light dinner and we chatted for a long time. We loved our stay there!

From the moment I booked Catherine and Gary proved to be fexible, friendly hosts. They were comfortable with our late night arrival time. They made us feel at home. The location was convenient, quiet and private. An easy drive to Port Macquarie and quick drive to great swimming options of the beach or creek. Their home has beautiful gardens and an inviting pool. Lovely outdoor space to sit and ponder, meditate, have a quiet drink or friendly chat with the hosts. Gary was happy to show us around his garden. The room itself was clean, with all the amenities needed, including a comfy bed and great products to use in the bathroom. Very accessible for those who may have difficulties walking. I would highly recommend this little oasis as an overnight stay or longer relaxing weekend. Am going to tell all my friends and relatives who travel between Sydney and the Gold Coast to take the little detour and extra time to stay there. Thanks Catherine and Gary for your hospitality.

A beautiful place with very comfortable bed and relaxing gardens. Catherine and her husband were excellent hosts, a great secluded place for a break.

Superbe séjour, dans une propriété magnifique, Catherine et son mari sont très charmant. Ils nous ont attendu tard pour nous accueillir. C'était un plaisir de séjourner chez eux et on y retournerai sans problème.

catherine and her husband are beautiful person, they help us for everything they show us a lot of beautiful place in port macquarie! they welcome us like if they are part of their family i really advise this them and their house are so impressive

The cottage was super clean, fresh and light. Great location across from Lake Cathie, super comfortable and relaxing stay!

Great place. Clean and comfortable. The only issue for us was that the fridge had no freezer compartment. The hosts were very helpful - allowing use of their freezer. Otherwise very well equipped.

Diana was a wonderful host, being driwndly, welcoming and accommodating to our family's needs whilst also giving us our privacy. The cabin was well presented and meticulously clean. The full kitchen and laundry was also a great addition. Location was fantastic (especially for children), being a stones throw from beach, lake and playground, and a very short drive to local supermarket. I would certainly recommend this accommodation to others!

Our stay in Lake Cathie was more than we could've asked for. Great location, clean place, and fully equipped for us to enjoy our time there! Would recommend to anyone.

Had a lovely time at a well maintained and very tidy apartment. Getting to the apartment was really easy and our hosts were very accommodating even with late arrival. There was ample parking for cars and we were located very close to Lake Cathie. Would recommend this accommodation to any families with young children.

Fantastic A+++

Great space and decor, comfortable and an easy walk to the lake, beach shops and clubs.

Diana's place is very nice and (URL HIDDEN) is quiet and very well situated, at walking distance from the really great lake Cathie and the ocean. We had some very nice and funny swims in the lake and had the great pleasure of seeing wild kangaroos a short way backwards the lake in the landscape. Lake Cathie is a very nice place to discover and Diana's bungalow is a very nice place to rest.

Such a nice place to stay! We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean with an amazing view, a few food steps from the ocean!

This place is fantastic.. The beach at your doorstep, the great pool and spa, the comfortable unit and friendly service! We will be back! Highly recommended!

We booked at Saltwater simply based on how far we wanted to drive and not as a destination in itself...and yet it was the closest we'd been to the beach in all our trip even after renting "beach houses" and cottages along the way. Any closer to the water and the floors would be wet at high tide. Mathew and Ellen are lovely and accommodating, the apartment itself is great with a comfortable bed, shower, tv, dvds, microwave and hot plate. And it's about a 10 to 15 minute drive to Port Mac if you want to get takeaway and a pretty good bakery and grocery store nearby (a minute or two driving) All in all, we would highly recommend Saltwater as a place to stay.

Beautiful location, lovely unit, very comfortable bed, amazing view, unfortunately the weather wasn't ideal but a lovely place to be indoors, highly recommend this listing, Matt was very friendly, offering local tips, thoroughly enjoyed our stay, despite the weather

Absolutely fantastic spot, with an amazing view. Matt and Ellen were so welcoming and helpful. Wonderful first experience with Airbnb, will definitely return!!

Nothing like hearing the sound of crashing waves. The perfect place to finish a holiday. Right on a beautiful lake. Close to shops. Pool plus jacuzzi ++ highly recommend. A perfect sanctuary!

Wake up and look straight at the surf before walking over the road to the beach. Great if you just want a quiet beach spot.

Our stay at Saltwater was fantastic view directly to the sea is amazing Matt is a perfect host.we had good time in the pool and the kids enjoyed the day in pool.Spa was fabulous and would definitely recommend Saltwater for a perfect weekend getaway.

Nice stay, nice and clean bedroom and private bathroom. Suzanne is a lovely host.

Suzanne and Gary were wonderful and welcoming hosts. We had a great time relaxing in their beautiful house. Very close to beach and shops - a great spot too! Highly recommend.

Suzanne and Gary communicated efficiently before our arrival and were very hospitable and gave us directions and advice about the local area. Their house is clean, spacious and inviting as well as kid friendly. It was the perfect midway stop between Byron and sydney. Am sure we'll stay again! Thanks

Our host, Suzanne, and her dog, boo boo, made us feel very welcome during our stay. She provided us with a lot of information about the surrounding area tips on what to do. The description of her place was very accurate and the neighbourhood was residential and very quiet. It was not far from the shops of Lake Cathie, and also not far from Port MacQuarie. We would recommend Suzanne and Gary's place to anyone for an Airbnb stay.

Suzanne was absolutely lovely and her home was exactly what we needed to accomodate our large group of travellers. Clean, comfortable. We should have chilled here for a couple of days but had to hit the road!

Suzanne was a wonderful host and welcome us into her beautiful home. She gave us wonderful advise on Lake Cathie and to eat at the Lawn Bowling club restraint. Great prices and large portions soy wife and I shared. Went for a swim in her beautiful salt water pool and later had a wonderful relaxing de stressing massage. I felt less stressed and had a better sleep because of the massage. Recommend 200% this B&B and great breakfast sitting on the patio with our tea.

Lovely couple. Very comfortable experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Suzanne & Gary were excellent hosts, we were only there for a very short time, but the time we did spend there, they were so welcoming and helpful. The house is lovely and we would recommend it to anyone.

Perfect spot for a break or stop over. Lovely location. The beach is just right across the road, so close to the unit. The unit was quite modern, neat & clean with great views to the ocean right across the road from the unit.

Great little house close to the beach and shops. The house had everything you need and he inspiration cards where great for helping us plan our day around the area with our little dogs.

Close to the beach and cosy

Loved Lake Cathie

Great home for a family vacation. Well equiped, very neat and tidy, and in a fantastic location. Susan was a wonderful host, very accommodating and a great communicator. We were thrilled with our weekend adventure. Thank you.

Thank you Susan. We enjoyed our stay at Salt Breeze, handy for beach, lake, shops, riding and walking. Plenty of room and lots of outdoor living options to enjoy. Nicolette

We had a great 5 day stay and found the place to be very clean, relaxing and convenient. Will definitely stay again. Susan our host was very reliable and helpful.

Susan's place at Lake Cathie was a great place to stay, we loved that it was in walking distance to everything, beach, lake, shops. We were able to bring our dogs along as it's dog friendly. Susan is an excellent communicator, the house was clean, the beds were super comfy, all the little extras she provided like wine and nibbles, the coffee pod machine, teas and hot chocolate were well received. We will be back!

We didn't see any koalas, we got more rain than sun, and I managed to catch a cold - so it's lucky Hazelgum was so comfortable! Jen is a thoughtful host and super responsive to any queries. The house is freshly renovated in a modern, practical style with a few fun elements. There are 3/4 comfortable bedrooms (one is a kids/teen retreat with a day bed) and at least 2 have mirrored wardrobes, so you can be sure of a full length mirror somewhere! The main living area upstairs is a nice big open combined living/dining/kitchen opening out to a front balcony. The balcony is currently missing some seating - but I understand that's coming as Jen's still looking for the right pieces! Also fresh and clean is the bathroom and good-sized shower with the lush rain showerhead, thoughtfully accessorised with toiletries - shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/handwash (and plenty of loo paper!) The kitchen is modern, with a good sized island bench for food prep and well equipped with dishwasher, microwave, toaster, sandwich press, pod coffee machine and enough kitchenware for all your cooking/dining needs - including sharp knives. Love! We prepared most of our meals inhouse and didn't feel we were missing anything - oh, except maybe a freezer. There is a fridge only upstairs (because of a narrow staircase); the freezer is downstairs in the garage, to help you work off the ice cream a little. ;) There are a few basics in the pantry too - tea, coffee, oil, condiments, pods for the coffee machine and I don't remember what else as we pretty much brought our own. Another appreciated touch was the ample cleaning supplies both up in the kitchen and downstairs in the laundry, so it really did have all the comforts of home. If you do run out of anything (like said ice cream), it's a short walk to the nearest Woolworths supermarket and neighbourhood shops. There's no wifi, so organise to BYO if you need it, but there is full Foxtel (all channels), a table tennis table and a bunch of board games if you're indoors, otherwise Lake Cathie is a couple of minutes up the road by car. The house is also only a couple of streets back from the beach, with a path literally in front of the house that you can follow straight there. If you're bringing the furbabies, the back yard is fully fenced. Be mindful if you have very small dogs of a couple of small gaps here and there under the fence as it's a gently sloping block so not all the palings can come straight to the ground. One of our dogs is a bit of an escape artist extraordinaire and, barring a gap under the fence which we easily blocked with a pot plant, he was well contained. All in all it was quiet, clean and comfortable; a relaxing beach holiday with the comforts of home.

We had a lovely stay at Jenna's beautiful house. It was very neat and tidy and everything was provided as listed. We always get a prompt reply from her. Enjoyed our stay :)

Jenna's place in Lake Cathie was perfect for our families for a weekend in Port Macquarie. Clean, everything we needed, loads to do for the kids and dogs and right next to the beach. We loved our stay, thank you! Pete

It is a beautiful place, very clean, I high recommend Jenna's place, the only thing I will add is getting internet connection, that will be a great plus, thank you Jenna

Freshly renovated house close to Lake Cathie shops, with wifi and Foxtel

What a delightful place to stay! The house is well supplied and the decor is lovely. Convenient to all amenities and very comfortable. We would definitely visit again.

Spent 2 nights over the weekend at hazelgum! Perfect for a family getaway up the coast. Highly Recommended

We used Jenna's place to visit relatives in the area. What a great central spot! So lovely to have a nice space to return to at the end of the day. No koalas for us, but maybe next time!

Highly recommend this place. Modern house with plenty of room, 30 second walk to the beach. Perfect for 2 family's or 4 couples

This was perfect for our family weekend away! So close to the shops and a stones throw away from the beach, ample space for our children to play and fantastic facilities, the house was immaculate! Can't wait to return!

Our family had a great stay at Craig's place. We are a large family and it was so nice to have the space to enjoy each other's company while not feeling like we were in each other's way. It is conveniently located to shops and very close to the beach - there's a trail from the back yard to the beach. I enjoyed early morning coffees on the deck listening to the sound of the waves.

What a great place to relax and unwind. Jennifer made us feel very welcome. The house has everything that is needed for a relaxing holiday. I loved the king size bed in the main bedroom and my 16 year old daughter slept on the top bunk in the second bedroom which was very comfortable for her. The house was very clean and we loved the deck that overlooks the beach. We spent most of our time out there. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back next year. Thanks Jennifer for a great break.

Wow what a top place!! Jennifer our host at Nan's Beach House welcomed us when we arrived, we were given the royal tour of Jennifer's house and were very impressed with the layout of the house and great view across to the beach from the front verandah. We booked for two nights and the location at Lake Cathie was very handy to we were going the next day. Bill & Collene

Beautiful place to stay and Jennifer provided a a lovely breakfast to enjoy each morning. Highly recommended and will definitely return in the future. Thankyou again

We had a fabulous little getaway at Jennifer's place. Such an amazing spot right across from the beach and lake entrance. Jennifer was so attentive to our needs and everything was thought of including breakfast. We used her kayaks on the lake which was fun and the kids loved their bedroom and all the toys. Jennifer even asked what bed spreads the kids wanted and they loved the superman and peppa pig. The main bed is very comfortable too. We also enjoyed the spa bath. We enjoyed the fireplace as the weather had cooled down and also enjoyed some down time on the front porch with the amazing view. Thanks Jennifer for a wonderful stay

Jenny was a wonderful host and made us feel right at home. Nans Beach house is in a great location and the house was well appointed and stocked. Really enjoyable experience. Thanks Jenny.

Jennifers place is great, it has a wonderful location and, since Jennifer often lives there herself, lots of useful "things", such as a good selection of cooking utensils, if that's what you need. The sun is on the veranda in the morning, we had some wonderful breakfasts there, accompanied by the sound of the waves. When we arrived, Jennifer came by to greet us and took our oldest son into the garage to look at her fishing gear, which she generously allowed him to use freely. Also worth mentioning, there was breakfast items in the fridge, and a folder with lots of useful information on fx. the electric devices in the house. In other words, Jennifer is the most hospitable and friendly host you could wish.

Nans Beachhouse was fantastic the position the view, everything was better than expected, the home was very comfortable Jennifer was welcoming and friendly and just a really nice person nothing was a problem all round fantastic

Lovely homely place to stay and relax. Jennifer was a beautiful host. She went above and beyond making sure we enjoyed our stay, and even left out some Easter eggs for the kids.

Matt and Ellen were so welcoming! Matt went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we need. Sitting under the stars while drinking champagne in the spa was especially great! It was only a small walk to the main shops and we could literally throw a rock into the ocean from the balcony. We'll be coming back and bringing friends!

Amazing location, well set up comfortable accomodation & friendly down to earth hosts, loved every bit of it.

Hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming! The apartment was impeccable, better than a lot of hotels I have stayed in! So well designed and maintained and had everything you needed. The location was perfect, across from the beach where we were able to watch the sunrise in the morning. We had such an incredible stay and will definitely be returning! Thanks so much :)

Matt is a great host and this place is in an ideal location, right across the road from the beach and lakes. Around the corner is the local grocery store and a nice drive further along will get you to Port Macquarie if you feel inclined to visit. We loved stepping outside our door and having direct acces to the pool and beach. We'll be back.

Ellen and Matt have even amazing hosts. We reached there and already felt relaxed. They were so lovely and care a lot about their guests Their place is just beautiful and offer all you can dream off for a relaxing and peaceful get away. We had one of the beautiful rooms on the first floor with all amenities : lovely decorated bedroom, spacious bathroom, cosy main room with an open window on the balcony with sea view. We could hear the waves at night and enjoy the beach as it is just across the road. I highly recommend this gem and already think of coming again !

We were made to feel very welcome on arrival. The apartment is very clean and well presented with nice finishing touches and is in a great location. It was good to see a pool and spa and would have like to have used it but weather did not permit. Only problem was that there is no stove top and fridge is only half size.

Great location for ocean views & a peaceful quiet getaway. Matt & Ellen were so friendly & made our stay so easy!

Superb apartment only meters from the beach. I only got to stay here for 1 night but loved my time here, would definitely come back again!

Quick check in, lovely people.. very comfortable space & position So close to beach is great. Very clean. Thanks so much

Located close to the beach, very clean, plenty of room. Great spot

还不错!

A very comfortable and practical apartment.

Everything was as described. The communication was fantastic and and owners very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!

This is one of the nicest places I've ever stayed in it has everything but WiFi which is good to keep tweens happy these days. The most well equipped home I've seen literally had everything you could possibly need. We have friends in the area and this gem is a perfect entertainer! Tracy was a great communicator and everything went without a hitch. A true five star property and we would love to return over and over.

We had a lovely stay in Bonny Hills. The house was very nice, modern, comfortable and very clean. We loved the lounge/ well equipped, modern kitchen open space with a roofed outdoor space overlooking the swimming pool. No matter what weather we were able to relax thanks to the seamlessly blending indoor outdoor spaces.

Beautiful house surrounded by amazing scenery! The whole experience was seamless.

The host canceled this reservation 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Awesome hosts that were very helpful & communicative. What a stunning home to get away to. So spacious & clean. Beautifully decorated & has everything that you need. Was great to sit on the deck watching the kids having fun in the pool. Loved staying & didn't want to leave. Will definitely be staying here again in the future. Thanks again to Tracey for being such an amazing host.

Comfortable home with plenty of space for relaxing and socialising. Quiet location, no through traffic, overlooking a water catchment. Well appointed kitchen perfect for preparing family meals. Walkway through the bush to pristine beach. Local surf club has a lovely cafe overlooking the ocean. Tracey was a very helpful host who went out of her way to accommodate our requests.

Liz and Steve are friendly. The room is cosy and clean and we have our own yard! Short walking distance to beautiful rainbow beach. Bonny Hill is near north Brother lookout and lake Cathie. A nice holiday destination and great host. Recommend to all!!!

The house is located about 30 mins away by car from Port Macquire which is the perfect location to spend the night and explore the port during the day. The family was really friendly and responsive to requests. Would definitely recommend and consider staying again. Cheers!

Had little contact with owner. A bit of noise came through from their living quarters upstairs. Was texted a video which was on fast forward on where to collect keys. This place has potential, ok to stay for a night. The locals are friendly, not many shops around within walking distance. About 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach lots of hills. Was nice to have pool, didn't have a side gate though. Needs some air con or decent fan felt a bit stuffy.

Steven and Liz were very accommodating to us as we arrived around midnight at the Bedsit. The stay itself was pleasant, as we had everything we really needed during our overnight stay. We didn't use the pool since we were on a tight deadline, but I can see it being fun during summer. I definitely recommend people stay at Bonny Hills bedsit if you're in the area.

It was really nice, the beach is wonderful and just a short stroll away.

Nice welcome and had everything explained to us. Beds were comfy and clean crisp linen was much appreciated. Amenities were good and we ate in both nights.

Unfortunately there was a bad odour from the bathroom drain which spoilt my stay. The flat is quite quaint but a bit rough. Liz and Steve were lovely though.

Liz and Steve's place is great and unique. Really comfy and private. I strong recommend it.

We had a wonderful time at The Francis Retreat. The cabin was modern, very clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. It was fully equipped with fans, kitchen equipment and BBQ. We didn't need to (or want to) leave! The grounds were spacious and very well maintained, keeping much of their natural heritage and habitat for local birds. The pool was just the right temperature and we enjoyed it every day! Joady was the perfect host. She was very warm and welcoming whilst respecting our privacy, and her communications were clear and timely. Thank you for a wonderful place to take a break.

We didn't get to meet joady but she answered questions promptly by text. The accommodation was clean and tidy and had everything we needed as a home base for a few days. We will most probably go back next year for the dance festival. Wifi was great as phone reception was patchy. Thanks joady!

We had a lovely stay with Joady and Peter. The cabin had everything we needed and was modern and very clean. The grounds are beautifully maintained and we look forward to staying again in the future

A clean and comfortable stay with very helpful hosts

Joady was a great host - very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The cabin was perfect for our family of 5 and we had a ball using the pool, volleyball court and tennis court with rackets and balls provided by Joady. Location also great as a short stroll to the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely spot, cabins are great and had everything we needed.

We had a great stay at the Francis retreat. The cabins have everything you need and are in immaculate condition. Close to beach and shops but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Fabulous pool! Our kids couldn't stay away. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Bonny hills. Thanks Joady!

Jess made our stay at Francis Retreat very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay, our children particularly enjoyed the grass areas and all the balls and games provided.

Lovely place to stop over on the way up to Byron Bay. Thank you!

Was a beautiful abode. Comfortable beds, great decor, and just an all round great stay. Wish we had more time to explore - was a beautiful spot and discovery on the drive from Sydney to Gold Coast xx

Hyggeligt hus med god beliggenhed. Der manglede en smule på renligheden herunder beskidte køkkenskabe og skuffer, samt beskidt sengetøj på et værelse.

Simply the perfect place to stay: the villa is set up with everything needed and looks lovely. Easy access with lovely surroundings. Chris and Anne are gracious and generous hosts. This is the best Air B&B I've stayed in yet. Highly recommended.

A lovely place! Comfortable and convenient.

XXXXX

This is a great spot so close to everything. Stayed the night driving from Brisbane to Sydney.

Chris and Anne were great hosts and the house spacious and clean. We stayed here for a friends wedding and it was perfect! Walking distance to the beach! Would definitely stay again. Bonny Hills is a beautiful spot.
