About this property

The Drift at Cathie - close to beach and lake

Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac, this holiday home offers the best of Lake Cathie. A relaxed coastal town 10 minutes south of Port Macquarie. With beach access only a short walk away, guests can enjoy morning strolls along the sand or take in stunning sunset swims. A convenient walkway at the end of the street leads directly to Woolworths, Lake Cathie Tavern, local cafés, and specialty stores, all within minutes on foot.

The nearby Lake Cathie Bowling Club adds to the local charm, offering a friendly spot for a casual meal or game. Lake Cathie itself is home to one of New South Wales largest saltwater lakes, a popular destination for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, especially when the lake opens to the sea. Its calm, shallow waters are ideal for families, and the foreshore is lined with shaded picnic areas, barbecues, a playground, and a skate park, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the coastal atmosphere.
