General overview
Lake Cathie is situated about 4-5 hours easy drive North from Sydney on the coast. Here you have access to beautiful beaches, numerous lakes and a truly amazing hinterland of forest and waterfalls.
Port Macquarie, the "big city" is 20mins away, with yet more pristine beaches... Port Macquarie has a healthy koala population and although koalas are difficult to spot in the wild, there are many sightings in Port Macquarie.
Our home is located approx 400m from the beach and the lake. I love taking a stroll to the beach everyday. It is a great place for either beach fishing or lake fishing. Boating, canoing or SUPing are also very popular activities on the water. My personal favorite is to SUP up Lake Cathie Creek to Perch Hole and observe all the birdlife on the way.
The Lake Cathie lagoon has playground and picnic area with free BBQ. It is perfect for young families with the option to swim in the ocean too.
For practicalities, we have within 100m, a big supermarket, some other speciality shops and also the local Tarvern.

Our home is on one level with rear access into the garden.
We have one main bedroom (queen bed) with ensuite, one second bedroom also queenbed and a third bedroom with two single beds.

The newly renovated kitchen leads into the dining room and 2nd lounge room with TV and sound system. You can also access the patio from the kitchen.
the covered patio is large and includes a table and in the corner a spa bath for 5 people. The is off the patio and includes a third toilet.
The backyard is sunny most of the day and has a westerly aspect.

The front door has one step and the door itself is of standard size.
There is a single gate to the right of the garage with access into the garden and patio. There is also a double gate around the corner with access to the backyard and patio.
Notes

The Lake Cathie Tarven is also within 100m and is well worth visiting. It offers specials every day of the week.

Martha and Eugene were great hosts to us recently on a simultaneous exchange. Their house is very lovely, extremely functional and very well set up. It is very well located being close to the beach and lake where we kayaked with our extended family, whom we also were able to cycle on cycleways with. It's also very conveniently located to Woolies. Martha was very generous and enabled us to have our 2 little granddaughters for a sleepover. We all enjoyed the spa. Everything was perfect -
Thank you Ann, it was a pleasure to have you.

We had a wonderful stay at Martha and Eugenes home in Lake Cathie! The house was exactly as described, very well located , great for sightseeing around the area. the bonus was the hot tub in the evenings after a long day out and about ! Also early morning walks ,just one block to the most amazing long beach . Communication with Martha was excellent , we are looking forward to welcoming Martha and Eugene to our home in Ireland in July .
