Apartment Newcastle Beach
Absolutely loved the location. 5 minutes and you're on the beach. Lots of cafes, pubs and restaurants. Great for walking and the weather was great. Did a bit of shopping in some specialty shops which is always good.

Absolute Beachfront @ The Entrance
I had a wonderful one night stay at Jonathan’s place. I have to agree with all the positive reviews on the property. It was a very welcoming place, right on the water, and in a fantastic location within walking distance to the main attractions. I would definitely come back!

Water Views of Shoal Bay Beach!
We had a lovely stay — everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The apartment is in a great spot, and we would have loved to enjoy a walk around the area as a family if the weather had been better. Hopefully, we’ll be back next time with some sunshine!

The Lake House Terrigal
Wow… What can I say! Without a doubt our favourite stay on Air B&B thus far. Jamie & Zoe’s house is true luxury on the central coast. The perfect stay for our multigenerational family with something for everybody to do and a space for everybody to retreat & relax. No detail spared with beautiful gifts on arrival, high quality bed linen & even toys for our young family to enjoy. You can tell many countless hours went into the planning & build of this home and we’re so glad they open their doors to accomodate guests. This will be an annual trip for us. No faults.

Getaway Lakefront Environmental House with Kayaks
Our holiday at Helen's lakeside property was absolutely fantastic! The location could not have been more perfect, right in front of a serene lake with picture-perfect scenery. The view from the property was breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable stay. The spacious outdoor deck allowed us to fully enjoy the natural beauty around us, whether we were having meals, playing games, or simply soaking in the view. Inside, the house was just as impressive—spacious, immaculate, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that Helen has taken great care in maintaining the property, and it made our family feel right at home. What made this holiday even more special was the fact that it was a multi-generational trip with our children and grandchildren. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company. The property truly provided a perfect setting for family bonding, and we made wonderful memor

MAGNIFICENT LAKEFRONT BEACH HOUSE. Central Coast.
This lakeside home is the perfect getaway for large family gatherings for all ages! The pool was AMAZING, the pool table was used constantly, the kitchen was well stocked and the 3 main bedrooms has the most incredible views. The beds were all very comfortable, and there were multiple TVs to suit everyone. The bathrooms were spacious and modern. The views were stunning across the lake, especially at sunset. our family of 13 had a very special and memorable stay. Justin's videos were very helpful and his communication was excellent.

Great house, plenty of things to do, you could literally just stay at the house all weekend, was kind of spewing we had things planned and couldn't stay all weekend. helpful information before arriving at stay
