Vacation rentals with beach access in Lake Macquarie

We had a fantastic stay at Chris’s beachfront apartment in Avoca, perfect for our family of five! The apartment was clean, well equipped, and had a great coastal feel with a spacious deck. Beautiful views and a large grassy area for the kids to play added to its charm. Chris, the host, was very helpful and organised, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend for a peaceful coastal getaway.

We had an amazing time staying at Lucy's beachfront Airbnb! We spent a month there and loved waking up to the stunning sunrise every morning. The apartment was perfect for our family of four, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lucy was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We would absolutely love to return for another beach getaway!

Vicki's place is located within walking distance to The Entrance town centre. The seabreeze and sound of waves was lovely and kitchen and bathroom well equipped. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We had an excellent stay at TURTLES. The apartment is absolutely beautiful, has a stunning view and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Thank you, Donna, for hosting my friends and I, and for being so responsive to any questions we had!

Absolutely the best Airbnb we stayed at during our time in Australia. Five stars and more. The apartment was modern, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. The highlight was waking up to stunning sunrises over the sea each morning, truly unforgettable. Spotlessly clean, super comfortable, and perfectly located. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Great location and easy process. Would recommend.

Great location for the beach, ocean pools, walks and cafe/restaurants.

Great apartment in the perfect location to explore The Entrance. Access to jacuzzi was great and we had everything we needed. Would be happy to stay again.

Natalie and Colin were excellent hosts. Their house is very comfortable; they are very welcoming; and they were helpful responding to our queries. The house is located a short and pleasant walk from a stunning beach. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Angela’s place! The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach. The home was very clean, spacious, and perfect for our family. The kids absolutely loved it! The neighborhood felt safe and friendly, and Angela was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely come back again!

The property was spacious and very clean when we checked in. The view of the ocean from the property was something we all enjoyed. Being so close to the beach also added to the fun. Yong Hui was extremely responsive when we i initially had trouble accessing the property. He was also accommodating of the request for some extra time after 10 am ( usual check out time) to check out as i was feeding my 10 month old. Loved the property and would highly recommend it

My wife and I stayed 2 nights here. We had a wonderful time. Very peaceful and with beautiful surroundings. You can walk to the batch in 5-10 mins. You can even hear the surf from the house! Helga was an excellent host and the place was beautifully presented and had everything we needed. Thank you for our amazing stay!

My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Loved our stay at Fran’s place- a 2 minute walk to the beach & surf club cafe which does a great coffee & delicious breaky!! Beds were super comfy & really enjoyed our stay (except it rained the entire stay!) Would definitely recommend & hope to stay again in the future!!!

We love spending time beach time, we have made it an annual holiday tradition! Geoff and Kellie do an amazing job and the house is beautiful! It’s a home away from home and you feel safe visiting with your dogs. We hate leaving and count down the days till we are back again.

We had an amazing weekend at Carol’s place relaxing , listening to the waves and enjoying being by the beach. Everything was perfect- thank you so much! We’ll be back soon!

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

The place was very close to Mona Vale Beach. Not far from the bus to the city or Manly. Close to Mona Vale shops.

This is our third stay at Tina's and it's always a great experience. The room is well located within walking distance of all amenities and the beach. It's a great gateaway; Highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

We had a lovely 2 weeks at Emily's place. We have never seen such a well appointed property with pretty much everthing you could think of, down to the flask which we took to the beach. It is Whale beach so vertiginous is a word that springs to mind, but our ham strings and glutes were in better shape after going up the drive way on a daily basis. Great view of Whale beach and a nice walk down to it. Not for the elderly or infirm but I'd recommend it to anyone else.

Definitely recommend staying here, we will be rebooking in the future

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.

Extremely cozy and a great area!
