What a beautiful place set amongst green lawns and beautiful gardens.We stayed for three nights over the Easter weekend. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful hosts.

Perfect weekend getaway

We loved our stay here last weekend. The property backed directly onto the lake, we spent most of our time enjoying being in the garden fishing and enjoying the water. The most relaxing time. The property itself was very clean and had everything we needed with the most beautiful view. The photos don’t do the place justice as it was even nicer in person! Great location and within walking distance to town.Malcolm was a great host.We will be recommending this place to our friends looking for a weekend away and we most definitely hope to come back ourselves.Thank you

Very peaceful accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Malcom and Penny were very friendly and accommodating and they have a lovely garden The position of the studio was perfect, right on the lake, very private, very quiet and well appointed. It was quite close to Toronto for coffee shops and restaurants and a central point exploring for the area. Thoroughly recommend Shanes Seafood Shop which is not on the main street

A place for simple pleasures

Nothing fancy here. This home and its hosts are old world, warm, welcoming and comfortable. Come here to destress from harsh and fast city life. Slow down and bathe in the sunshine, listen to the gently lapping waters of Lake Macquarie, wander into town along the waterfront or just count shells and paddle about in the shallow waters of your beach. The most stress you'll endure during your stay is having to decide which cafe to hang in. This place is honey for the soul. Thank you to the owners for sharing it with us.
