Great family and pet friendly location

Stayed over Christmas with my family and small pooch. Walking distance to Sandy Beach and amenities. Short drive to popular beaches (Catherine Hill, Frasier's) and Swansea. Neat and tidy home that served as very well for our stay in a nice, quiet neighbourhood. Would definitely book again.

Basic needs and space in a quiet relaxing neighbourhood. I'll bring my own pillows next time - not too many linen options available for the weather we experienced. Good outdoor spaces.

Comfortable cottage

This older style cottage is comfortable, has a great yard and outdoor area and plenty of space. Bathrooms are renovated, but lack any heating for chilly winter mornings. The kitchen is original style without a dishwasher but has most equipment and some useful pantry staples. Short walk to shops and waterfront. Pleasant stay - thank you for sharing your house.

We enjoyed our stay there. Old property with some issues. Dirty pillow, overgrown gardens etc. the bathrooms, kitchen and floors were very clean. Secure pet friendly yard. A couple of minutes walk to the village and river. Easy drive to Caves beach and Warners bay etc. we would give this property three stars.

Comfortable and peaceful

Lovely house with high standard facilities. No dishwasher, which didn't bother us, but there was a washer and dryer (no laundry powder provided). Very quiet neighbourhood. Bakery, Foodworks, Thai Takeaway and Fish & Chips just down the bottom of the street. Excellent Autumn, or Spring getaway. Bit of a drive to get to ocean beaches if it is a summer holiday.

We’ll equipped and situated, some basic maintenance would make all the difference.

We’ll equipped and situated with generous pantry inclusions. There were several basic maintenance issues that affected enjoyment, several blown lightbulbs, drawers and doors stuck or off rails. Linens fresh and clean but other areas made it clear that cleaning was surface only and relied on cleanliness of previous guests. Eg shampoo shelf above bath filthy and all basic cups and plates and bowls had to be pre washed before use.

Relaxing home away from home

Loved our quiet and peaceful stay in Summerland Point over the New Year holidays. It is a very comfortable and well-presented home with everything we needed. The bbq on the back verandah was perfect for summer evenings and enjoying the garden with our little dog. It’s a short walk to the great local bakery, and some corner shops. 15 min drive to pretty Catherine Hill Bay, 20 mins to Caves Beach, and to Cams Wharf for some kayaking on Lake Macquarie, 30 mins to Trinity Point Marina for a nice lunch.
