Shingles Delight (sleeps 12)

Luxury and location does not get any better than Shingles Delight. Perfectly kept lawn with scattered trees leading down to your own sandy beach, making this the ideal location to enjoy your lake front holiday. Step into another world that is only 55 minutes from Hornsby.

Shingles Delight is truly a home away from home with all the comforts you could dream. The spacious 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has an abundance of character, it was built to resemble a home in the Hamptons. With shingled feature walls, a slate roof and large open spaces the quality of the architecture itself is reason enough to visit for a weekend.

When you want to kick back in luxury with someone special or bunk in with a large group, this is the perfect location.

The large and fully equipped kitchen is ideal for all budding master chefs. A dining experience that looks directly onto the lake makes for a romantic candle lit dinner or extends to seat 10 adults for a gourmet feast. The sunset colours are mesmerizing as the sun disappears behind the lake.

Shingles is a place for togetherness and fun. The 3/4 size Abbot and Doyle snooker table will test your aim as you rest by the fire place in winter. In summer you open the doors with so much lawn for everyone to play cricket under the sun or under the spotlights in the evening. Bring your kayaks for a paddle or throw in a line from your own private beach to catch a few flatheads or whiting for dinner.

Shingles is an amazing location for the boat enthusiast. Ski, wakeboard and tube all day on of the most protected bay in the Lake. This is where the locals come to ski even when the wind gets up. There is nothing better than a day of water activity on your own shoreline where you can park your craft at your own sandy beach. If you prefer to sail, enjoy Australia's largest salt water lake at your leisure when the breeze picks up. For large boats there are two boat ramps just 1km along the waterfront.

If all that activity is too much for you then kick back in your hammock as there is no better location for a long afternoon in the shade while sampling some of the Hunter's best Semillion.

Shingles doubles as a great luxury romantic manor, or as a getaway for a larger group sleeping up to 12 people.

This property does have a BBQ.

Who Should stay at Shingles?
* Anyone with a boat
* Fishing enthusiast - fish the entire lake
* Perfect water ski location, ski from your back garden.
* Jet Skiers (just do not start too early!)
* Sailors, sail up to your own beach
* Energetic families: Canoe and kayak heaven
* Large Groups (sleeping up to 14 people)

* Ideal for kids and very kid friendly
* Anyone wanting a luxury break with the comforts of home only 55 minutes from Hornsby
* Groups wanting a base to explore the hunter
* Adventurists: Hike, Cycle or Dirt Bike across the Watagon Mountains
* Wine connoisseurs: Escape to the Hunter Wineries only 50 minutes away


Bedding:

Naughty Nights: The King Master suite has access to three balconies and looks out directly over Lake Macquarie. A huge private ensuite, luxurious King size bed and the unique dress up hat rack makes this a romantic experience you will always remember!

King View: Large King room with direct balcony access and amazing views over the Lake. Wake to the birds as the Lake comes alive each morning.

Read-a-lot: Queen room with your own personal reading escape, decorative fire place with a bonus lounge for those that want to keep the kids nearby at night.

Teen Retreat: Single bed with trundle to sleep a friend. This room comes with its own television.

Bunk Inn: Two double bunks make this a fun place for the little ones to have sleepovers.

There is a permanent resident who lives in a granny flat above the garage. The resident has absolutely no access to the main house at all – they have their own entrance. The resident realizes that the main part of the house is a rental holiday house and that there will be noise, music, laughter and the sound of memories being made! 😊 As you can see from the 10 years and the reviews from previous guests- this doesn't cause any issues.

Space for everyone

We had a wonderful time celebrating with the family. The property is spacious and has a great view of the lake. Being so close to the lake was ideal - we were able to let the children paddle in the water and play in the sand without having to bundle everyone and everything into cars. The downside of the water being close (about 50m away) was the concern that a toddler could wander too close. It would have been helpful if the back door had a screen door. The house has all the things you might need except for some flat sheets on the single beds. The beds had a fitted sheet and doona provided but on a warm night a doona was bit too warm. Overall though, the house provided us a very pleasant place to spend a family weekend together.

Gorgeous and relaxing

We had a wonderful long weekend at this house. Communication with the owner was excellent, she answered all our questions before we needed to ask them. The house was lovely, older style with beautiful balconies and features in the house itself, and gorgeous views. Easy access to the water at the end of the yard. The water is quite shallow at the edge and very gradually gets deeper, so it was great for young kids. Perfect for our paddle-boards and kayaks and floating about. No air con, but plenty of excellent pedestal fans in the house, so we were very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Fantastic place to holiday!

This was our third time returning to this beautiful holiday house and again, it did not disappoint. We travel with our extended family and the rooms are such a great size. We had 14 in the house and didn’t feel cramped at all. The location is superb as it backs straight onto the lake. We hope to be back next year!

Just Perfect

Thank you for sharing your house that had absolutely nothing missing! From the spotless bedrooms and bathrooms to that incredible view... Our group was so comfortable, we could have stayed longer if we didn't have to go back to work! We had 7 adults who each had their own bed, a fully equipped kitchen which was used both nights for dinner, and a wonderful outdoor space which we were able to use for an afternoon recreational activity of "paint and sip" against that beautiful lake backdrop! Your communication throughout was always prompt and the check in and check out information was very clear and easy understand and follow. Our weekend couldn't have been any more perfect. Thank you.

Great location, big house

We stayed at this property with 3 families. There was plenty of space for all of us. The teenagers loved hanging out on the balcony. The younger kids ran around on the grass. Everyone loved the pool table. We were so impressed with the location - we spent a lot of time on kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. It was easy to access the lake from the house and to supervise kids. Kylie is a friendly and responsive host. We re-booked for next year before we left.

Great weekend for a large group

Our family group had a great weekend at the house at Bonnells Bay. It has beautiful views of Lake Macquarie, especially at sunset. It was very spacious, easily accommodating our group of 12. The pool table was very popular, great fun. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Great house and location for extended family holiday

Well maintained large house adjoining a marine reserve and Lake Macquarie. Superb sunsets. Dining room windows and upstairs balcony make the most of the views. House is well equipped, beds were comfortable and the owner quickly responded to a faulty light over the BBQ and my inability to find a light switch. House was cold when we arrived (probably unused for a period of time) and the combustion heater (only heating in the house) took a couple of days to reach all the rooms. Plenty of firewood provided.

Everything was so nice! Went there with a bunch of church friends for just a small retreat. It was a little hot but it was ok with the breeze and the fans, and we got quite lucky with the lovely weather and the sky was so clear. This made the sunsets amazing to watch! We had picnics and bible studies in the backyard and had a dip in the water which was nice. Kylie was also lovely and answered all our queries promptly and the check in process was super easy. We made some great memories and will definitely consider staying again!
