About the host
Your host
We are a family of surfers, freedivers and fishermen going back five generations on Blackneds Bay. Our passion is salt water. We are more than happy to share our knowledge of the area regarding surfing, fishing, spearfishing & boating. If we really like you, we might even show you some mudcrab and lobster hotspots.
Why they chose this property
Ned's on Northcote is cosy cottage surrounded by trees on a large block. There is plenty of parking for boats at the back of the house. The back verandah is a few metres off the ground and is literally in the trees. It is a beautiful place to sit and relax or rig a fishing line.
What makes this property unique
Ned's on Northcote is about being close to salt water. Nestled in the Swansea Heads peninsula you are surrounded by the Ocean, Blackneds Bay and Swansea Channel. Turn left and you are 700 metres to Frenchmans beach, home of the Frenchmans Boardriders Club. Keep walking and you are at Crabs Creek and Swansea Heads itself. Turn right and you are an 800m walk to Hams Beach and further on to Caves. Neds on Northcote is 100m away from public access to Blackneds Bay, a large fully tidal bay that is fringed by mangroves. It is one of the best places in Lake Macquarie to kayak, fish, and SUP.
