Pet Friendly
Pets are welcome at the Lake Escape Cottage, so long as they don't go on the beds & furniture.
The back yard is fully fenced, with full height fences on all sides and a high side gate with spring closer. The front fly screen also has a door closer to block any surprise exits.
The side deck has also had wire mesh installed underneath to keep the area enclosed, if your pet hops down in the garden to explore.
The back yard is big enough for a small to medium sized dog to explore. The yard can also cater for a larger dog, but you will probably need to use the lake side walking tracks to keep them well exercised.
Please bring your own dog bedding. There is also a dog kennel, food & water bowls.

The house as always is perfect. We loved the new fridge and small upgrades made since we were there last. The kitchen was well stocked, with the shops (Aldi/coles/woolworths) so close, we could save money by not having to eat out. We love staying here because our two dogs love the space. Our oldest pup (9) had the biggest zoomies when he realised where we were and it meant that we were going to be swimming at the beaches and walking along the lake.This place is really a home away from home.
Beautiful place to base ourselves as we spend a couple of days catching up with friends. Close to the water for a walk and also walking distance to cafes and boutiques. Thanks we loved our stay!
This is our 5th visit to this property. The kitchen and bathroom renovations are an amazing addition. The location is great, we had a fantastic week and will be back again for sure!
This is a great place to stay, immaculate, beautifully styled house with everything you might need….. and more!The garden provides complete privacy to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting and the house is so close to some great Long Jetty cafes like the Green Tangerine.
This lovely cottage had everything we needed for a summer break.
Great facilities and location. Loved the side deck on warm afternoon with the gentle breezes. Thanks xx
This was the perfect place for our getaway. Such a welcoming place to stay. Everything that was listed under the property description is accurate and I would have no problem in recommending this to others. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful property.
We really enjoyed this well appointed and comfortable cottage, and its handy location walking distance to the lakeside walk, local cafes and op shops. Thankyou to our host Peter who was very responsive to our questions and provided everything we needed.
It was very easy to organise our stay, efficient, friendly and timely replies.
the property was well looked after, clean and very comfortable.
central location between long jetty and the entrance.
Simply love it. Gorgeous house. Beautiful surroundings. Perfect trip away with family.
Recommend Toowoon Bay, North Shelley Dog Friendly beach, Diggers and Bateau Bay Bowling Club :)
The cottage was clean, spacious & had just about everything you could need. Was in a quiet area, located one street back from the lake & its walking/bike track & only a short stroll or drive to Long Jetty shops & cafes or The Entrance. Checking in & finding everything in the property was a breeze. Peter was a fantastic host with great communication. Highly recommend this property & look forward to staying here again.
The house is nice with plenty of rooms/beds…. Had some issues with the stove but eventually worked it out … no spa or hot tub so listing is a bit misleading … all else good
The cabin in lovely, well decorated, clean, close to shops, beautiful backyard and chilling space, confie beds, very clean and welcoming. lots of board games and book. We were blessed with wonderful weather, so overall 100 of out 100 Well done to the owners.

Hi Gina, thanks very much for your fantastic review, we really appreciate it.

The house is located in a convenient location for beaches, walks, cafes and restaurants. The decor in the house fits the beach holiday feel. The chairs are comfortable, as are the beds. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The bathroom is new. There are several areas for eati g and socialising inside and out. The garden was perfect for my dog. We all had a lovely holiday. I would book again.
Great house, very clean, chihuahua proof fences, was even allowed to bring my pet bird. Good communication from the host. Super quiet area but still close to everything. House had everything we needed for us and our doggo and I’ll say again super clean, prob cleanest holiday house we’ve stayed at. There is an odd step up and down between rooms if travelling with an elderly family member but not big steps.
The home was dog friendly. Children enjoyed the lego. Kitchen, bathroom and laundry set up well. Host communicated well, a print out of clear and step by step instructions were provided. However, the down side was the cleanliness. When arrived we found wet towels on clothes rack in laundry. Bins were full. Some of the towels left out for us to use were dirty. Used tissues found on top of book shelves. Dead cockroach on the floor, dust under beds and lounges. The worst situation was when our 20month old toddler found a medical tablet on the floor.
