CLEARVIEW COTTAGE: A feel-good, sunny, ABSOLUTE WATERFRONT lake house with jetty
EDIT: We do NOT tolerate property damage. STAYZ provide a $500 (flat fee) report property damage facility for owners. Please be aware before booking, that thorough inspections are carried out at Clearview Cottage immediately upon departure. If damage is found we will utilise the STAYZ report damage feature.
Recently renovated, freshly painted with new furniture and blinds throughout. Clearview Cottage is a self-contained, relaxing, quiet lake house with absolute water frontage and shared jetty. Ideal for couples and families for a weekend escape or longer.
Bookings are limited to a minimum of 2 nights off-peak, 3 nights on public holiday weekends and 5 nights during peak (school holiday periods).
Early check-in of 10am. Check-out is at 11am.
Beds are freshly made in readiness for your arrival. We supply doonas, pillows, blankets and bath towel sets.
(Please ensure you confirm accurate numbers of guests upon booking for adequate provision of fresh towels).
Sorry, pets are NOT permitted and there is no smoking within the cottage.
We supply complimentary tea/coffee/sugar/milk/biscuits & some basic pantry items.
Clearview Cottage is located at Sunshine on the southern shores of Lake Macquarie (near Morisset, NSW), just 70 minutes easy drive on the M1 expressway north from Hornsby.
Clearview is a testament that the very first holiday houses on the Lake acquired the best waterfront locations and is positioned forward of other houses giving you a unrestricted 180-degree views.
The cottage is elevated and takes advantage of the outstanding open water outlook with the living, dining and kitchen areas all overlooking the lake through tinted windows.
Clearview is simply furnished yet very comfortable, capable of sleeping a maximum of 6 people with TWO bedrooms, both with brand new queen sized beds. There are also 2 single beds provided.
There is a fully-fitted kitchen with all the homely inclusions, sensor lighting, a wired smoke alarm, ceiling fans in all sleep quarters, a bath-shower combo with toilet and another separate toilet.
There are two generous size decks covering approx 30+ square metres, with regulation-height safety fence with a gate at stairs.
We provide FREE WiFi, 2 x TV's (1 large Smart TV in the living room & 1 digital TV in the main bedroom) and a blu-ray DVD player (with a selection of discs). We have also recently converted the boat shed into another chill out space closer still to the water's edge.
Driveway is long enough to house car and boat trailer. Boat launch is conveniently within the reserve located by the South Lake Macquarie Sailing Club just 300m away at the opposite end of Sunshine Parade.
The boat launch also includes provision for cleaning fish near the boat ramp, an undercover electric barbeque, a great shady space to kick a ball and some fun kids play equipment. There is also a good walking track at the end of the play area, a 30 minute walk will take you to a lookout on the northern tip of the bay.
A convenient shopping centre is just a 5-minute drive away with Coles, take-away, chemist, post office, bottle shop with bistro, cafes and variety of other shops and services.
Clearview is just 45 minutes from the renowned Hunter Valley Wine District. Relaxing on a deck with a glass or two after a day out, watching the yachts glide by or after dinner checking out the Milky Way is indeed memorable.
We hope you enjoy this idyllic spot as much as we do.

About the host
Hosted by Natalie, Lisa & Yvette
Clearview is our family holiday home spanning 3 generations. We feel grateful to have made many wonderful memories here as kids growing up and now as parents ourselves. Clearview is a truly special location that we enjoy being able to share with others by offering value for money accommodation including earlier arrivals and later departures to extend our guest's stay experience. As a show of our appreciation for our guests, we like to provide complimentary items on arrival including free internet. Clearview is a very clean, comfortable and well-appointed rental. We expect you will find it more than you imagined.
Why they chose this property
Sunshine is regarded as the pick of locations on the Morisset Peninsula and Clearview Cottage would have to be the equal-best positioned holiday house in Sunshine. The deck is forward of other properties and faces due north and in cooler months you enjoy warm sunshine all day. A great place for every holiday mood.
What makes this property unique
Pictures don't do it justice and words can't describe it. The outlook from the front deck draws you in as the focal point of the property. The changing weather patterns, the fresh breeze, the lapping water, the sound of mullet jumping, lazily watching lake life go by or getting in amongst it fishing and getting in and on the water - there's something for everyone and every type of holiday. Guests with children can relax knowing their children can safely play by the water or in the converted boat shed, all within easy reach and plain site. Having a water front holiday without having to trek a distance to a beach, find a shady spot whilst having the convenience of all your comforts and facilities close to hand only accentuates that holiday feel.
