Our stay here at the Salt Breeze was one of the most beautiful ones we’ve had through stayz.First time staying in lake Cathie and we just want to pack up and move there. Such a lovely and friendly community with an active beachy lifestyle.The home itself is immaculate. We stayed upstairs and downstairs and everything from the interior decor to the manicured lawns & everything in between was perfect.There was absolutely everything stocked there that would be needed and the comfiest beds we have ever slept in.We will definitely be staying again and the best part was we were able to bring our dogs with us to enjoy the holiday to, it really felt like home and loved our stay so much xx
Stayed her with the family for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. Close to everything as in beach, shops etc. Upstairs was good with 2 rooms and comfy beds. Downstairs, a very small double bed, single bed outside wasn't very comfy either and same with the sofa bed. Otherwise, everything else was good and no issues.
With our daughter's family (husband, 2 young school age children and a dog) we stayed at Salt Breeze for 5 nights during the Christmas period. It was very clean and comfortable. The configuration of a separate one bed apartment downstairs and a two-bed apartment with a dog friendly garden upstairs, suited us perfectly.
The beach across the road was beautiful to listen to in the evenings. We enjoyed our walks with the dog on the beach which was so close to our accommodation. But it is a treacherous beach for swimming. Locals also advised us against swimming in Lake Cathie (located at the end of the street) after rain. We drove 5 - 10 minutes to swim at patrolled and beautiful Bonny Hills and Tacking Point beaches.
The area is very well serviced with a large and excellent Woolworths. We bought fresh prawns from a cart vendor - delicious!
Apart from a few hiccups using the ovens and cooktops (about which we advised the agent), everything was beautifully presented and well provisioned in the apartments. The upstairs apartment had ample room and comfort for the 6 of us to dine together on the few occasions that we dined in.
The garden was perfect for the dog. The laundry and outdoor clothesline were used!
Thanks for the welcome package and a great stay right across from the beach. Property was clean and tidy and getting access was a breeze. Needed to do a little extra puppy proofing of the yard but quickly done. Highly recommend
The house and downstairs flat were as described. Very clean and comfortable. Great location and perfect for us and our dog. The communication with the agency was fantastic before, during and after our visit. Highly recommended.
Seascape house surpassed our expectations. From the point of enquiring they were one of the only pet friendly properties who actually were welcoming to our dogs. When we arrived the property was beautifully appointed and so much care was taken to make guests feel welcome and spoiled. The location - across the road from Lighthouse beach was absolutely amazing and we found ourselves at the beach morning and afternoon! We absolutely loved this property and will be recommending to all of our friends with and without pets.
Salt Breeze is great accommodation to stay in peaceful Lake Cathie. The house itself is very clean with all the homely needs covered such as linen, fully setup kitchen and lounge, balcony and garden seated areas and ample parking. We could hear the waves and kept the windows open to take in the sea breeze. Close to shops, beach and lake which are within walking distance. Susan provided complimentary condiments which were also appreciated. We will certainly stay there again as our Lake Cathie base.
Thanks Andrew
We 3 stayed here during Easter. A good set up with the apartment downstairs for our friend and us upstairs. The fan in the master didn’t work but it was cool so didn’t need it and the oven didn’t reach temperature but other than that it was a great little house. The 2 dogs loved the secure backyard. The sound of the ocean was magnificent and such a close walk across the road and behind the houses to the beach. Thank you Susan for bringing the pedestal fan and your friendliness.
Had a great time. Close to Beach, shops. Great for two families. Well stocked, comfortable. Loved the sound of the waves at night and the sea breeze coming through the windows.
Susan went the extra mile to find a suitable place for us and our 2 Siamese. The presentation of the property was excellent and there were some unexpected food and drink treats left for us. Very welcoming. After 1 night, the property became close to bush fires and, without asking, Susan offered a choice of 2 other places. We gratefully accepted a new unit in the city. Overall, extremely satisfied.

Great place for two families or small group
Place was clean. Well stocked and well presented. Very close to a ultra quiet and beautiful beach.
Would have been nice if upstairs and downstairs are not totally isolated (may be this could be a plus for some).

Relaxing with the sound of the ocean nearby!
Thank you Susan for the welcoming note .
We enjoyed our stay in your very clean and well organised house. We enjoyed every area, the garden was great for our puppy whilst we enjoyed the outside area both at the back and the front balcony. With only a short walk to the beach, the house is greatly placed .
It was ideal to travel around in the area and discover the areas around the lake as well as great beaches and nearby Port Macquarie. Highly recommended . We enjoyed it !

Great property, great location!
We recently stayed at Salt Breeze with 2 primary school aged children and we loved our stay there. It is one block from the beach, close to local shops and has a good back yard for dogs. Hearing the constant sound of waves/ocean was most relaxing. It has a lovely sunny front deck as well as back deck/yard. It was well equipped and most comfortable. We would recommend staying at Salt Breeze.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and comfortable and had more than we needed. I loved the little welcome complimentary pack, especially after an 8 hr drive. It really did feel like home as soon as we arrived. It’s a shame we didn’t have longer to enjoy as it was certainly one of the most welcoming places we’ve ever stayed. Thank you

Clean and comfortable dwelling.
A very well set up house with comfortable furnishings and spotlessly clean. My dog enjoyed her stay on the verandah and the secure back yard. It is very well located close to beach and lake, with shopping facilities also in walking distance. Very happy with our stay here.
