About the host
Hosted by Julie Sinclair
Originally from Sydney but escaped the hustle and bustle to our semi rural lakeside retreat. We love Lake Macquarie and we want to share it with you. From the mountains to the sea our region is truly magnificent. The largest salt water lake, an abundance of Australian native animals, best beaches in the world, cafes, restaurants, shopping, vineyards, something for everyone....... all at our doorstop.
Why they chose this property
We are located 6 minutes off the M1 freeway; an hour north of Sydney; 45 minutes south of Newcastle; 30 minutes to the Hunter Vineyards; 2 minutes to the lake; a rural setting adjacent to the lake and close to suburbia.
What makes this property unique
Freestanding one bedroom cottage. It is private and quiet, yet close to conveniences.
