The cottage has been appreciated by families, groups of friends, travellers with pets and those needing a cozy stopover on a road trip. Late checkout may be available. Ask about dog minding. Welcome. The space Belmont is a gem of a suburb nestled between the shores of Lake Macquarie and the Pacific Ocean, 15 minutes south of Newcastle and less than 2 hours north of Sydney. Surfing, swimming, fishing, sailing, boating, walking, bicycling, golfing and shopping – it’s all here (even a hospital and an airport). Short walk to beautiful Lake Macquarie and a short drive to ocean beaches such as Blacksmiths, Redhead or Caves Beach, most with dog exercise areas. The 16 Footers sailing club is 500 metres away with a choice of eating and drinking options, weekend entertainment and awesome sunsets overlooking the lake. It’s a short, level walk home after events or a night out at the Belmont 16s - or you can take their courtesy bus. Level walk to Woolies, Coles, ALDI, restaurants and coffee shops. Lake Macquarie Yacht Club is close with casual sailing on Wednesday afternoons, summer twilight racing on Friday and Saturday spinnaker racing. Check out Fernleigh Awabakal bike and walking track – 15 kilometres through bushland from Belmont to Adamstown (Newcastle) and a further 12km south to Blacksmiths Beach, Swansea and Murrays Beach. Also close by is Green Point reserve with a 7km foreshore walking track and a gorgeous picnic area. For an adrenaline rush, try tandem skydiving over the lake. Belmont Golf club is a 18 hole Par 72 course. Full kitchen, Smart-TV, DVD, air-con in living area and two comfortable bedrooms. The Hunter Valley Vineyards are easily accessible by car - house to vineyard in just under an hour. * late checkout may be available, * pet minding often available, best with advance notice, * longer stays on inquiry. Guest access Small, fenced, sunny front yard. Street parking directly in front. Other things to note Pets are welcome in the house; please keep the dogs off the furniture. AIR CON: **must** be turned off when you are out. It is powerful and will keep the lounge and kitchen very comfortable IF instructions are followed and doors and windows shut. The hot water is instantaneous electric so follow instructions to have a great shower. Free street parking in front of the cottage (room for two vehicles - just). We are in an older, established residential neighbourhood so parking in front of the cottage is good - and parking that impacts the neighbours is not good. It makes having Short Term Rentals in nice neighbourhoods difficult, so please respect the house rules regarding parking and speak to your helpful host is there is a concern, or if bringing two vehicles.
