The homestead is full of warmth and character, with the open kitchen/dining/lounge area, fire place and the wrap around verandah being the focal points for us. We also rented the separate cottage, also with a great view of the farm and the lake. Our dogs were kept comfortable with wide open space and fenced enclosure when needed. The wood fired pizzas are a must do for this property. We highly recommend this property for those wanting a comfortable and intimate stay. Recommend you bring all supplies needed for your stay, as the road into Coomba Bay is not in great shape. ##### Kim D.

The owner was very quick to respond to all our messages, even getting us an early check-in which was great! House was immaculate with everything you need, including a huge Veranda with a dart board. We opted to have the sleep out too. Great decision! Wood fire oven got an absolute workout while we were there. Best Pizzas ever! the walk down to your own personal wharf is not too far. around about 200m or so.

We had a rainy weekend unfortunately but the house was perfect for it with that lovely fireplace. 6 adults and 2 kids stayed for a weekend and we all had a great time. Some pros/nice touches: - they left us a bottle of bubbly to welcome us - the owners were around fixing things next door (so we didn’t ever really feel their presence) and we’re responsive to any issues including bringing a full gas bottle they had noticed was empty and fixing a lock/door - a decent amount of firewood was supplied, but we brought extra to crank it up over the weekend - the house and bedrooms are all as per the pictures and lovely Cons (to be fair and honest): - the sleep out door didn’t really shut properly but the owners sorted out a solution pretty swiftly, though we would have been in trouble if the wind hadn’t blown the door open to alert us to it. - the exhaust fan in the kitchen was broken - could do with one additional oil radiator heater as the sleep out had to rely on the reverse cycle which aren’t ideal for sleeping but that’s really nitpicking... Can’t really fault it more than that and we expect these kinds of things with old homes. If you’re thinking of kayaking - yeah it’s probably a bit too long a walk carrying a kayak to the water. Wifi was all good. Not much close by for food so roughly 10-15 min drive to cafes, etc. All in all, we’d go back to stay again in a heartbeat. The owners are great and the house is lovely and full of charm. The deck is a thing of beauty so maybe we’ll be back in the summer! I’d rate it 4.5 based on the couple of minor issues but that rounds up to 5, 4 would be a bit harsh. ##### Peter N.

The house was very comfortable with everything you need for a quite country getaway. The kitchen and living area was inviting and the fireplace created a lovely ambiance. The beds comfortable and north facing so a lovely winter sun every morning. The deck area has several places to sit and enjoy depending on the time of day. The outlook across the paddocks to the lake was beautiful. The beaches and townships are all very close with nice places to eat and get a morning coffee.

Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank S. 19 Nov 2014 #### piece of paradise my partner & I & our 4 pugs absolutely loved it at Katandra, so much to do or not to do & that's just on the property! plenty of activities left & right from the driveway all within a short distance, including swimming snorkelling boating, beaches, national parks, plenty of dog friendly parks & beaches, sightseeing, fishing, crabbing, great lakeside walking tracks, plenty of great places to shop & eat & drink, we kept ourselves thoroughly entertained both at Katandra & away to the point that both us & our mutts need a holiday from our holiday! The worst part about Katandra is that all good things come to an end & you must leave paradise to return to reality! ##### Frank S. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank S. 18 Nov 2014 #### piece of paradise Over the years of researching & organising our dog friendly holidays, i have been interested in Katandra for a while, but the distance from the Gold Coast held me back, well i am glad i finally made the 650km journey down to Katandra Homestead @ Coomba Park, it was well worth the drive & exceeded all expectations. Amy was a pleasure to deal with, very professional & friendly & made the whole booking & holiday experience so easy. While there are plenty of dog friendly accommodation options around, few are truly dog friendly & alot dont allow 4 dogs inside aswell! The "Welcome Mat" for us was unbelievably surprising, we over packed, bringing alot of things we usually have to, but were already provided. The property was unbelievable, the house felt very homely & comfortable, it was great to get away from the hussle & bussle of city life & enjoy a farmlike stay with the cows & paddocks, the chickens & fresh eggs, the majestic fig trees that surround the house, all the nature & wildlife that come & go & not to mention Wallis Lake at the bottom of the paddocks with your own private jetty where you can fish & crab, or just relax overlooking the lake. Katandra is the perfect property where you can do as little as you like in prvacy & seclusion & enjoy the peace & quiet or you can explore the beautful waterways up to Forster & Tuncurry, swim fish & crab as much as you like from the property, go sightseeing all the other lakes close by, visit a different dog friendly beach everyday, plenty of places to swim & snorkel, great food & drink available everywhere if you dont want to cook your own catch of the day, what more can i say, i think i ve said enough, you get the idea, check it out for yourself you wont be disappointed! ##### Frank S.

What a We have just come back from a fantastic weekend at Katandra and we would highly recommend it! What an amazing homestead...from the adorable bedrooms to the open plan lounge, dining, kitchen which was fantastic for our family of 6 to the huge verandah with the day bed and tables and chairs where we spent most of our time relaxing and taking in the serenity! We took our boat (boat ramp a short drive into Coomba Park) and enjoyed our first time in Wallis Lake. The waterways were very quiet and although it was a very windy weekend there was plenty of water that wasn't to rough. We cruised into Foster and not only was overwhelmed with the beautiful green water and sandy islands, we had dolphins surrounding our boat. As you can see we love this place and could go on and on about all the amazing things that Katandra has to offer but why don't you go there your self so you to can have a memorable family weekend! ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Tamworth Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamworth-Hotels-The-Tamworth-Hotel.h18684340.Hotel-Information) > - [Broughton Cottage - Pudding Hill Farm, Berry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Foxground-Hotels-Broughton-Cottage-Pudding-Hill-Farm.h23586192.Hotel-Information) > - [Red Box Cottage - Tuross Head](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuross-Head-Hotels-Red-Box-Cottage-Tuross-Head.h30666798.Hotel-Information) > - [The Isla & Casita Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batehaven-Hotels-The-Isla.h78230201.Hotel-Information) > - [Harrigan's Hunter Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Harrigans-Irish-Pub-Accommodation.h1662165.Hotel-Information) > - [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > - [Ozzie Pozzie Backpackers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Macquarie-Hotels-Ozzie-Pozzie-Backpackers-YHA.h25994908.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sanctuary at Paradise Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-The-Sanctuary-At-Paradise-Beach.h20069732.Hotel-Information) > - [Snowy Wilderness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ingebirah-Hotels-Snowy-Wilderness.h4316653.Hotel-Information) > - [The Robertson Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Robertson-Hotels-The-Robertson-Hotel.h4580959.Hotel-Information) > - [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > - [NRMA Blue Dolphin Yamba Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yamba-Hotels-Blue-Dolphin-Holiday-Resort.h3103292.Hotel-Information) > - [Arajilla Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lord-Howe-Island-Hotels-Arajilla-Retreat.h1052267.Hotel-Information) > - [Seahorse Inn Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boydtown-Hotels-Seahorse-Inn.h3910114.Hotel-Information) > - [Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crackenback-Hotels-Lake-Crackenback-Resort-Spa.h11290088.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay Breeze Boutique Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batemans-Bay-Hotels-Bay-Breeze-Boutique-Accommodation.h9307003.Hotel-Information) > - [Albury Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albury-Hotels-Albury-Manor-House.h445455.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lord Byron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay-Hotels-The-Lord-Byron.h2646995.Hotel-Information) > - [Mantra Twin Towns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tweed-Heads-Hotels-Mantra-Twin-Towns.h1862508.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Haven White Sands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Holiday-Haven-White-Sands.h27097344.Hotel-Information) > - [Crystalbrook Byron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Crystalbrook-Byron.h2650066.Hotel-Information) > - [Idyllic Farm Cottage with Outdoor Bath Under the Stars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manildra-Hotels-Idyllic-Farm-Cottage-With-Outdoor-Bath-Under-The-Stars.h28102767.Hotel-Information) > - [Burke and Wills Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moree-Hotels-Burke-And-Wills-Motor-Inn.h978570.Hotel-Information) > - [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > - [Tasman Holiday Parks - Merool on the Murray](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moama-Hotels-Merool-Holiday-Park.h9629141.Hotel-Information) > - [One Global Resorts Green Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-One-Global-Resorts-Green-Square.h36862886.Hotel-Information) > - [Samurai Beach Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anna-Bay-Hotels-Samurai-Beach-Bungalows-Port-Stephens-YHA.h12456606.Hotel-Information) > - [Sydney Central Hotel managed by The Ascott Limited](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Central-Hotel-Managed-By-The-Ascott-Limited.h564406.Hotel-Information) ---
