The bedroom configuration and general layout suited 9 adults and 2 children perfectly. Enough room to be together and enough space to have some time to yourself. The garden was roomy for playing games and the jetty was a great fishing spot. The kitchen was also well equipped with enough glasses, crockery, cutlery and serving dishes. A bonus was the easy walking along the foreshore to go exploring. Overall, a fabulous house and location! ##### Lynette W.

We had no luck with the weather as it rained for the entire weekend, but despite this, we still had plenty of things to do and enjoy. We had many games to choose from and the pool table was a hit with young and old. The kitchen was well equipped with all that we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the house is well presented. The view and setting outside is better than the photos and I imagine it would be stunning in dry/warmer weather, with even more for families to enjoy. We had a query about the TV and the owner was very responsive and also allowed us a late checkout which was greatly appreciated. Lovely weekend spent making memories with family. ##### Rachel R.

Even on two days of rain the lake location was beautiful, and peaceful. Lots of room for the 9 of us, plenty to do - use of the kayaks, paddle boards, pool table, table tennis - internet and cable TV - a home away from home, but on Lake Macquarie. Plenty to do nearby - recommend Lake Mac WaterSports for boat hire. Friendly local shops 1km away provide most day to day needs - bread, milk, paper, bottle-shop, groceries....etc Generous sized and comfortable living, eating and sleeping areas - heaps of room over 2 levels. Host Steven was easily accessible when needed for local advice. I have had an association with Lake Macquarie for many many years, and Sand Lake House presents all of the benefits and beauty of Lake Mac - highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bianca C. 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely The house is really lovely, lots of space, we had 8 adults & were very comfortable. Plenty of seating & big lounges. Plenty of plates, cutlery, cooking essentials & is great to have some of the basics provided as well. We loved visits from the local ducks, they didn’t like the lettuce as suggested but absolutely loved the peas!! Unfortunately it did rain for a few days of our stay, but having the pool table was a bonus! Our only suggestion would be to add a dryer into the house, as this would have helped getting towels dried, we did used the line provided in the garage but nothing was drying due to it being so wet. Stephens communication was great. Overall, it’s a really lovely house & the view is amazing, definitely worth a visit. ##### Bianca C.

Large enough to feel like you have your own space, but are still together. Lots of activities available. Great outlook. ##### Darlene M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob C. 5 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location and lovely accommodation. The Sandhouse was booked to celebrate a 30th wedding anniversary with family. It lived up to its listing. We had a great time enjoying the house, lake and the surrounding area. Thank you ##### Bob C.

The property has everything needed for a little getaway. Jetty in the backyard and the firepit were highlights, the pool table was a bonus. Ample space and beds. Would recommend this place :) ##### Emily L.

We stayed over the June long weekend with 4 couples and 2 children. The property is perfectly placed and very well equipped. The owners have thought of absolutely everything and we loved the little touches they have added! Sunsets are amazing and the jetty provided a perfect back drop for afternoons of fishing and sitting in the sun enjoying a drink or two. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away! ##### Ryan H.
