About this property

Starfish LakeHouse jetty, waterfront, sunsets, decks, new kitchen, games, kayaks

Amazing waterfront, sunsets, yard, private jetty. Sail, cruise, swim, fish or relax. Stunning decks upstairs and downstairs.


Starfish Cottage is perfect for family, or couples getaways. Available after friends said it's too beautiful not to let others enjoy it...Starfish Cottage is less than an hour north on the freeway. Swim, sail, waterski, moor your boat at the private jetty, fish, toast the stunning setsets, swing in the hammock, lounge on the newly refurbished large deck, or rest in while the lake shimmers in front of you.

The hardest decision will be shall we ski,sail or paddle now or what book or newspaper to read next... and has that bottle chilled long enough . Relax while the small kids splash in the shallow shores and the big kids use all the water toys (Free use of 4 kayaks, dinghy) dive off the jetty, sail if they're boaties or amuse themselves with the pool table, play play-station or watch TV in the separate downstairs games room, or play cricket or footy on the truly massive waterfront lawn. Water-skiers and sailors will particularly appreciate being able to come right into the sandy beach or pull up at the jetty for disembarking.

Plenty of sunlounges and chairs to star gaze at night and watch the spectacular shooting stars whilst listening to the clinking masts of the moored boats and watching for possums and hooting owls. Lots of books, board games and DVD's to wile away the hours.

Summerland Point fronting Frying Pan Bay has the best aspect of Lake Macquarie and Starfish Cottage is in the best street on the Coast with the longest block.

Beds include the queen bed, double bed, double and single beds, two double sofa beds ( 1 in games room, 1 in lounge) that provide sleeping accommodation for 11 people.

Facilities include
2 toilets/showers,( 1 up/1 down) 1 bath,
2 living areas,(1 up/1 down)
3 bedrooms - Bedroom 1 with 1 queen bed,( with full waterviews) Bedroom 2 with 1 double ( with waterviews) and Bedroom 3 with 1 double bed/single bunk above bed.
2 separate sofa beds,(downstairs games and lounge rooM
2 large BBQ upstairs and downstairs decks
2 TV's,
extensive DVD and CD collection and library, board games, separate games room,
Tree tyre swing that kids love,
2 large fridges ( 1 up and 1 down) and upstairs deck dining and bbq or downstairs deck and bbq and outside dining facilities.

A washing machine and dryer mean all those towels and swimsuits can be easily refreshed for the next day.
Brand new air conditioning unit As well as fans and the lake breeze provide excellent cooling in warmer months while Winter on the water is truly ambiant with new air conditioning and lovely gas heaters making Lake watching,book reading and game afternoons an absolute delight.

Charmingly freshly decorated in a starfish/beach/nautical theme on the magnificent largest salt water lake in the Southern hemisphere and providing plenty of places to explore in your boat - Starfish Cottage will seem like a million miles away from your normal life - but close enough to have friends up for lunch, duck over to the Hunter Valley to the Vineyards, make the short drive to the beautiful beaches of Catherine Hill Bay or Caves Beach, dive down to the Entrance, Terrigal or Avoca for something different or meander to the local Summerland Point or Gwandalan Italian or Thai restaurants. If staying casual and living the great Aussie dream of cooking on the BBQ for breakfast, lunch and dinner sounds like heaven, then there's always fresh supplies from the supermarket a quick stroll around the waterfront.

The local liquor shop, newsagency, petrol station, hot bread shop, hot seafood and good old fashioned Aussie hamburger ( with beetroot if you fancy it) and chips ensure your time at Starfish Cottage is going to be going to be congratulating yourself on taking time to stop and smell the roses and appreciate how beautiful life in Sydney is.

If you are feeling energetic or simply had enough of your motorised watersports you can always walk the beautiful lakeside walk, paddle across the bay to the park or grab your bike and follow the trails to Gwandalan or around to the local cordoned off swimming area at the picturesque Sandy Beach.


Mums and dads, small children, teenagers, inlaws, state and international visitors will all love Starfish Cottage - a fantastic taste of Australian waterfront living be planning when you can come back as soon as you arrive.

So relaxing
Our family of 6 stayed over the Easter long weekend and slept, ate, kayaked, fished, kayaked some more, ate whilst looking at the gorgeous view, relaxed some more, played some board games, had many competitive games of pool, checked out the local bakery and Chinese/Thai takeaways, chatted, played some cricket on the grass, kayaked across to the other side of the bay and slept some more. A very much needed break from Sydney and work and was exactly what we all needed to unwind and recharge into the new week. Thanks so much Leisa for a house well equipped with all we needed to do this!
