Narelle greeted us warmly on arrival and showed us to our quarters. We had expected to stay in one of the two guest rooms in the main house but to our delight we were given the boathouse right on the water. This has been beautifully converted into a large studio with an en-suite. A comfortable bed with views across the lake and the waters gently lapping only metres away eradicated all our tensions during our three-night stay and Narelle's delicious and generous breakfasts that she brought down to us each morning set us up for the day.

My partner and I have been scratching our heads but we couldn't come up with anything, other than having - in the en-suite - a shelf to use and one or two rails to hang damp towels.

A beautiful, relaxing haven right on the water's edge. Perfect for 1 night but could happily have stayed two. Excellent, friendly hosts who provide the most marvellous breakfast including home made marmalade and biscuits. Very well appointed and spacious studio 'boathouse' room with shower and spa bath and a well stocked kitchenette. Café (not open Tues), bottle o, take away choices just a 10 min walk away. Excellent meal offer and friendly bar at the bowling club.

Some information in the room about local facilities could be helpful but the hosts greet you and can tell you whatever you need to know.

We were upgraded to the Cottage on the water. The location is absolutely superb. Great to watch the sunrise over the lake and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the afternoon with an amazing view. (A pod coffee maker was in our room.) Our lovely hostess brought us a beautiful breakfast each morning. Our 2 night stay here exceeded our expectations. Thank you Narelle & Bill for sharing your small paradise with us. Note: when using Bookings.com you are actually booking a room in the main house, not the Cottage. Still a wonderful place to stay.

Nothing to dislike.

The breakfasts were great, second to none. Narelle was lovely, very warm and kind. My husband and I will definitely be visiting again. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday experience.

There was nothing not to like. It's a little bit of paradise on the shores of Lake Macquarie, with the water gently lapping just metres from your veranda, where you can laze and enjoy the refreshing afternoon breeze.

Overnight Reflections can only exceed everyone’s expectations. Stunning location and views, perfect hosts, only the best of everything to complement this beautiful B&B. The breakfast was delicious and the view was so relaxing and a great way to start the day. Narelle and Bill are so friendly and welcoming, and have made their B&B a place that will always be remembered as one of those special memories.

The owners were wonderful and we enjoyed chatting with them and view of the lake from our room was amazing!

Location was a bit out of the way and room we were in was not completely private - we were afraid to talk too loud as owners were right below us and room was open into their kitchen area.

The boathouse far exceeded our expectations. It was sublimely peaceful and beautifully located. The accomodation was fabulous, clean, very comfortable and very well appointed. The bathroom was fine but definitely on the small side but the seperate spa bath a bonus. Narelle was a lovely hostess and delivered a fabulous breakfast, which again exceeded our expectations.

Outstanding . Narelle was recovering from a knee operation and was still able to supply an outstanding breakfast every morning.. Everything you would need was available in this beautiful appointed boathouse cabin.

The bathroom was smaller than expected. The tiles between the vanity and toilet were grimy. Dust accumulated under the bed and the cane furniture framework.

Everything was simply perfect. The place was very well taken care, decorated in a good taste and every detail was planned to attend the guests needs. Spectacular view of the lake, we could see the sunrise from the balcony. Canoe on site for free use of the guests. Excellent breakfast, freshly made. The hosts are also very friendly. We highly recommend!

Nothing.

Narelle was lovely and extremely accommodating! The accomodation was relaxing and wonderful and perfect for our mini honeymoon retreat. The breakfast provided was sensational, my husband and I loved every minute of our time there. We will most definitely be returning for a regular mini romantic getaway!
