This includes (but is not limited to), holding a fishing license where necessary, knowing and respecting bag & size limits and not fishing in protected waters. Please note that many areas of Lake Macquarie house Razor Clams - please don't take risks and always wear solid footwear when walking through water or playing on shoreline rocks. Any guest intending to use crab pots are reminded to not place them within the vicinity of any moored vessel on the Lake. Pots can move in lake tidal waters & the wind and can cause stressful and extremely costly damage to our neighbours boats. Crab pot lines easily become wrapped around props and keels as well as mooring lines. When this happens, it is not a simple matter of removing the crab pot line, it can cost up to $20000 in repairs to the damaged equipment on the boat. Guests may be held liable against a damage claim so a clear reminder to be wary of placement and at all times to respect neighbouring property. This property allows guest access to a shared jetty, please be respectful of all neighbours with whom this jetty is shared. Fishing equipment (rod/reels/buckets/bait etc) are not be left unattended on the jetty. Guests are advised to not leave their boats or watercraft moored at the jetty overnight due to changes in the wind which can cause damage to boats and the jetty. Guests do so at their own risk and may be held liable for any damage caused to neighbouring property/watercraft. THE Important Stuff - This is a 6 -bedroom home offering bedding up to 14 guests Bedroom 1- King Bed Bedroom 2- Queen Bed Bedroom 3- Queen Bed + 1 Single Bedroom 4- Queen Bed + 1 Single Bedroom 5- King Bed and 1 Single Bedroom 6- 1 x King Single How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable. Arrival Details: Access to the property is made simple. You’ll receive an access code via SMS just before 3pm on your arrival day, which you’ll use for the duration of your stay. Standard check-in is at 3pm. While an earlier arrival may be possible, it cannot be confirmed until the afternoon prior to your arrival. If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm. Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO. Guest Amenities: We are Eco-Friendly - to help reduce wastage, we supply a single bottle of 3in1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in all showers. In addition, guests are advised to bring their own personal preferred bathroom products/amenities. Wifi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's wifi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason. No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behaviour. Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules. Cameras and Noise Monitoring: Please note that it is highly likely that we have installed a WiFi Security Camera at the Front Entrance (and sometimes rear of the property) We are progressively rolling these out through every property in 2022/2023 Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests. Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties. Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo' This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between. We look forward to having you stay with us. ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113270000/113263200/113263194/9bbede3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeview at Morisset Park Morisset Park - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer £782 includes taxes & fees 6 Oct - 7 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=113263194&PinnedHotelID=113263194&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113730000/113727500/113727499/2f927812.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront with Pool Sleeps 12 Swansea - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=113727499&PinnedHotelID=113727499&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109190000/109187500/109187443/742888c0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Breakwater Caves Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=109187443&PinnedHotelID=109187443&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91210000/91202900/91202819/8efdfb6f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Karinya Parkland Estate New Lambton Heights - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 30 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=91202819&PinnedHotelID=91202819&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, table football](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81470000/81461500/81461416/e85362f8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Daze at Coal Point - Lakeviews, Pool Coal Point - Pool - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=81461416&PinnedHotelID=81461416&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103150000/103140700/103140681/1f0b47b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Lake Palace at Murray's Beach Murrays Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews £633 includes taxes & fees 13 Oct - 14 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=103140681&PinnedHotelID=103140681&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101160000/101152500/101152467/0ad79663.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Slice of Heaven Family Retreat - Good Times at Wilderness Waters Morisset - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=101152467&PinnedHotelID=101152467&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40140000/40137200/40137118/bcb170e5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SPEERS POINT - Water Views, Pool, Sleeps 12, 8 Beds, Great for Families/groups Speers Point - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=40137118&PinnedHotelID=40137118&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81930000/81927000/81926949/ca896caf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Large Holiday Home with Heated Pool on demand near Lake & Beaches Lake Munmorah - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=81926949&PinnedHotelID=81926949&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113880000/113875100/113875036/50f377eb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa de Monte Eleebana - Pool - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=113875036&PinnedHotelID=113875036&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
