The perfect venue for a casual family holiday, or a budget stopover as you explore the spectacular NSW Mid North Coast. Sail, paddleboard, surf, kayak, swim, fish or just laze on the deck and listen to the birds in this tranquil waterfront setting.

Bongo's can accommodate up to 5 people and is a fully self-contained two bedroom villa set on 1.4 hectares of park-like grounds. The open plan living area with well equipped kitchen leads out to the sunny terrace. The locals like to gather on the lake's edge for a drink to watch the sky change colours at sun set. Cook some meat from the local butcher on the barbecue, put together a salad and dinner is ready.
DVDs, CDs, books and games are all provided for relaxing on the comfy lounge, whatever the weather.
The master bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has three single beds, including a bunk bed. Reverse cycle air-conditioning makes the villa a cool retreat in summer and cosy in winter.
A laundry is available on-site.
Linen and towels are not provided.

***SUMMER HOLIDAYS 7 day bookings only, check-in on Saturday.***

Kids love playing in the warm, shallow water of the lake right in front of Bongo's. Walk or paddle across the lake to Sandbar ocean beach or fish from the shore. Explore the lake and its islands by kayak, catamaran or dinghy, all available for hire from the famous Frothy Coffee Boatshed, just a 10 minute walk. If you have your own boat, it can be launched from the small boat ramp on our beach and left there for the duration of your stay (at your own risk of course). Use the on-site tennis court or kick a ball on the extensive lawns in front of Bongo's.
