To help maintain a peaceful environment for guests and neighbours, this property is equipped with a privacy-safe noise monitor. These devices do not record sound or conversations—they simply detect high noise levels over time. If the volume exceeds acceptable levels (especially during quiet hours), we may receive an alert and reach out with a friendly reminder. This helps prevent complaints and ensures compliance with local STRA regulations. Thank you for respecting our home and neighbourhood. If you have any questions, just let us know—we’re here to help!

If your holiday home is rented out or available for rent, you may be eligible to claim tax deductions for expenses like cleaning, maintenance, insurance, interest on loans, and property management fees. To claim, the property must genuinely be available to rent and not solely used for personal holidays. You’ll also need to report rental income and keep detailed records of expenses. If you sell the property later, capital gains tax (CGT) may apply. Always check current ATO guidelines or speak to a qualified tax advisor for advice tailored to your situation.

Lake Macquarie has a rich and layered history, shaped by both its Aboriginal heritage and early European settlement. The Awabakal people are the Traditional Custodians of the area, living around the lake for thousands of years, with deep cultural and spiritual connections to the land and water. European settlers arrived in the early 1800s, drawn by the region’s abundant natural resources, including coal and timber. Over time, the lake evolved from a working industrial hub to a vibrant recreational and residential destination, now known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle, stunning natural beauty, and proud local community.
