Vacation rentals with a kayak in Patonga

Amazing! Ainslie and Dan were fantastic hosts & the property just delightful, well and truly exceeding our expectations. The property is well furnished, beautifully styled, immaculate and well equipped with everything you could possible need for a relaxing stay. The additional fridge and pantry items were a lovely surprise and meant we could settle in without the need to feel rushed to get the shops. The location was perfect being so close to essential amenities with the views of Lake Macquarie just superb. We particularly enjoyed having our morning coffee out on the balcony watching the sunrise. Thank you Ainslie and Dan for a lovely stay, we hope to be back again soon. Robyn, Sean, Courtney, Steph, Ivy & Lily.

Our holiday at Helen's lakeside property was absolutely fantastic! The location could not have been more perfect, right in front of a serene lake with picture-perfect scenery. The view from the property was breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable stay. The spacious outdoor deck allowed us to fully enjoy the natural beauty around us, whether we were having meals, playing games, or simply soaking in the view. Inside, the house was just as impressive—spacious, immaculate, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that Helen has taken great care in maintaining the property, and it made our family feel right at home. What made this holiday even more special was the fact that it was a multi-generational trip with our children and grandchildren. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company. The property truly provided a perfect setting for family bonding, and we made wonderful memor

Thanks Julie. House works well for our group. We’ll be back when we’re back in town. Cheers

Peaceful and relaxing place right on the river. Clean and cosy house. Kev and Kez were quick with responding to the messages. Would love to come back again.

it is my third stay, beautiful setting and amazing skiing with the family, the house has everything you could want or need. highly recommend

Our second time staying, such a beautiful location and great family house.

A beautiful peaceful location and property. Lots to do close by. Fantastic having kayaks & paddle boards on site. Highly recommend for a fun and relaxing getaway.

I had a beautiful stay at DJ's place. Absolute lake front house, great taste of interior decor, pristine clean and comfy, stunning lake view, peaceful and calming surroundings, free kayaks and paddle boards to play around, definitely a great place to slowdown and recharge. David is very friendly and easy to communicate, fast responses and thorough 👍. highly recommended.

The Church was a gorgeous place to spend a long weekend. Lovely surroundings and great facilities.

Stephanie was a great help getting inside as the second gate can be missed. But lovely cosy home perfect for winter getaway and exploring the area. Feeding the horses and ponies was a highlight and sitting outside by the fire pit looking at the stars was magical

We had an amazing stay! The place was fantastic – clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Kate was incredibly responsive and friendly, making everything super easy. The jetty was a highlight, with plenty of activities to keep us entertained. Highly recommend for a relaxing and fun getaway!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront property! The views were absolutely stunning – waking up to the calm water just outside our window was magical, as was the serene sunset. It was spotless, beautifully styled, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing two-night stay, including a cheese platter provided. It was the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy nature, and soak in the peaceful surroundings. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene getaway right on the water!

The cottage is great — nothing fancy, but very well-equipped. The location, the view, and the lagoon in the backyard are absolutely amazing. It's a wonderful place to stay. The only downside was that the listing mentioned a firepit, but when I asked the hosts, they said there wasn't one due to safety risks. That was a bit disappointing. However, the communication with the hosts was excellent.

From the moment we booked until the end of our stay, Howard made sure we had all the information we needed and everything to make our visit enjoyable. Carina Cottage is beautifully maintained and nestled in the most serene and peaceful setting. We spent a blissful afternoon on the pontoon, watching the river drift by, fish jumping, and birds soaring overhead. The outdoor fire pit was perfect for cozy evenings, and the BBQ served us well for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had the most relaxing two nights and couldn't recommend Carina Cottage more highly.

We enjoyed staying at this place. The amenities within the place are amazing and well thought. Simone is also very helpful in giving recommendations of places to visit in the area.

beautiful weekend away. amazing kayaking and active fishing. incredible way to switch off from city life. Will definitely return.

4 days at Captains Cabin was so relaxing. We went kyacking around the island & to Lovetts. Fished off the jetty & caught so many different types of fish. Flathead, Snapper, Brim, Flounder, Whiting... Scotland Island is full of lovely alternate locals wandering by & wildlife.

Cozy, clean and private accommodation close to some beautiful places. We were only able to visit briefly this time but will be back!

2nd year here for her annual girls weekend absolutely perfect great location beautiful host and everything as described. Great price for a relaxing time.

A fantastic stay in a rustic cabin. Mackerel Beach is a stunning spot, and this cabin makes the most of it with an incredible upper deck offering breathtaking views—not to mention what might be the best outdoor shower I’ve ever experienced! The perfect escape from the city to unwind and explore the simple things — cooking, bush trails, walks and swimming. We took our two young boys who loved it (they were also absolutely fine making the journey up to the cabin).

Elize was a great host and the place was perfect for our needs.

We had a wonderful stay at Astrid’s beautiful hideaway. With its spectacular river views and peaceful, secluded location, it was the ideal weekend escape from the city. Kayaking along the river was a scenic highlight, and cosying up at night by the wood fire made it even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a romantic getaway nestled amongst nature.

Staying on the river was paradise. It was beautiful - especially from the deck! My only two suggestions is to share there is no wifi and that the beds are pushed up against a wall. Also, at least for us, there was no data connection. We were able to go into town and use the cafe wifi, but if we had seen in advance (there was a message about no wifi at the bottom of the description), we would have prepared better for working remotely. Also for older people, the beds only allow one person to get out and the other person has a wall they sleep along. Other than these two minor items that can be communicated in the description, the accommodation, the location and all of the extras are excellent. We enjoyed the bbq, the kayaks, the hammock and the firepit. Everything was comfortable and the a/c was helpful sleeping at night when there was a controlled burn. We definitely recommend staying here.

A perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway. Being delivered via water-taxi means your only option is to enjoy the view along with your snacks. A magical place, very well appointed considering its off-grid status, kick back, have a beer and play some Trivial Pursuit. Thank you so much for the lovely stay, Nicky.
