Summary:

Escape to a beautiful 1.5-acre homestead near Lake Macquarie, perfect for families and groups of up to 13. Enjoy 6 bedrooms, multiple living areas, a huge backyard, trampoline, and space for weddings or special gatherings. Just minutes to lakeside cafés, boating spots, and 25 minutes to stunning beaches and Trinity Point Marina.

The Space:

Welcome to Homestead on Fennell — a spacious 1.5-acre retreat designed for larger families and groups seeking comfort, connection, and the laid-back Lake Macquarie lifestyle.



With room for up to 13 guests, the home offers 6 bedrooms, multiple living areas, and plenty of space to spread out. Enjoy long family meals, movie nights in the lounges, or quiet mornings on the verandah overlooking the trees. Kids have endless room to play, from the huge backyard and trampoline to exploring the gardens and collecting a few fresh eggs.



Outside, you’ll find open lawns perfect for picnics, games, or even intimate backyard wedding ceremonies. The property feels private and peaceful, yet you’re just minutes from Lake Macquarie’s foreshore, local cafés, boating spots, and only 25 minutes from the region’s beautiful beaches. Trinity Point Marina and its stunning waterfront restaurant are also an easy 25-minute drive away.



A small veggie patch and friendly chickens add a charming touch of homestead life without overwhelming your stay. For something special, you can even arrange a personal chef to cook for your group.



With parking for multiple cars, plenty of indoor and outdoor living, and space for everyone to unwind, this is the ideal escape for families, group getaways, and guests wanting a blend of comfort, nature, and coastal adventure.



Guest Access:

You’ll have full access to the entire homestead, including all six bedrooms, multiple living areas, the fully equipped kitchen, dining spaces, verandah, and the large backyard. Guests are welcome to enjoy the gardens, trampoline, and the small veggie patch, as well as collect a few fresh eggs during their stay.



The creek and outdoor spaces are yours to explore and relax in. Our caretaker may stop by occasionally to tend to the property, but your privacy is always respected. If you’d like to know what fresh produce is available during your stay, just reach out — we’re always happy to help.



The Neighborhood:
