At just over an hour from Sydney, and in close proximity to the Hunter Valley, Barrington Tops, Newcastle and Port Stephens, the opportunity to unwind at The Loft is too good to miss.

To find out more google "The Loft" at Kilaben Bay.

The Loft is the perfect location to access all the Hunter, Newcastle and Port Stephens has to offer...

The Loft has everything for a quiet weekend away or a week-long escape: lose yourself in a book, refresh with a dip in your private outdoor spa or walk out on the private jetty and slide into the cool waters of Lake Macquarie or try your hand at fishing off the jetty.

Take a walk around beautiful Lake Macquarie or play a game of tennis at The Loft private tennis court.
At the end of the day sit back enjoy the sunset sip on a well deserved drink. Turn on the BBQ to heat up for
your catch of the day, and unwind in the outdoor hot tub after, overlooking the lake.
For the cooler months, snuggle up indoor by the warmth of your fire.

With your batteries recharged investigate all the Hunter has to offer: award-winning golf courses in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, internationally-acclaimed Hunter Valley wineries, and a feast of culinary options for dining locally in Toronto, Warners Bay or venture into Newcastle's famed dining strips.

Tour historic Newcastle for an intriguing insight into our region or go boating or whale watching for the day in beautiful Port Stephens.

For an adventurous spirit, take a hike on one of many walking trails at the Barrington Tops nature reserve, or for a more leisurely time, have a day in the sun, sand and surf at any one of our pristine beaches.

Lake Macquarie is the largest salt water lake in the Southern Hemisphere and offers a multitude of fishing spots both on shore and out on the lake.


How to get here

Only 15 minutes off the Sydney-Newcastle Freeway at Kilaben Bay, near Toronto, and only 1 hour north of Sydney. Take the Toronto exit, and continue along this road for approximately 10 minutes to arrive at the main street of Toronto (The Boulevarde). Drive through the town and take a right at the end of The Boulevarde. Take the second right turn (into Jarret Street) and follow the road to Kilaben Park, which is facing the lake. Turn left into Kilaben Road. Head up the hill, and Number 72 is on your right. Drive down the long driveway and park behind our house next to the tennis court on your right.

Fassifern Train Station, a short drive(10min) from Toronto, for easy access from the Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne train lines. Connecting buses await at Fassifern Train Station to drive you to Toronto. Taxi rank in main street.

### NOTE... 3 night minimum booking, for all Long Weekend stays.

Absolute perfection!
My partner and I just spent the weekend at The Loft and could not fault the location, amenities or the wonderful hospitality shown by Gina. We enjoy many weekends away, from overnight hikes to 5 star hotels, and we prefer this to a 5 star hotel in the city anytime. First of all, Gina's property is immaculate - well maintained, secure, and well appointed. The Loft itself is gorgeous - plenty of room for 2 people, comfy bed, well equpped kitchen, stunning bathroom, different eating areas, both inside and out. There is a huge deck with private spa which was lovely to relax in under the night sky. There is a jetty for fishing, or swimming if you are braver than us. We decided at the last minute not to take our kayak but wish we had.... it would have been so easy to launch it from the jetty. Gina is very generous in her provision of breaky supplies, snacks, wine and choccies. She also provided us with lots of local info - good cafes/restaurants, nice walks etc. Even though we had a lot of rain during our stay we were still able to enjoy our surroundings. We highly recommend The Loft for any couple wanting a luxury getaway. We will definitely book again in Winter for a different experience again (and so we can enjoy the indoor wood fire!)

We absolutely loved The Loft
Stunning property, magnificent views, spotlessly clean (even the towels were perfection) our host Gina was friendly & went out of her way to spoil us, loved having breakfast outside watching the birds & boats. Beautiful big spa too. We are already planning our next trip to The Loft
