Lakefront doesn’t get much better than this. Perched directly on Budgewoi Lake, discover a getaway that is dressed to impress. Think: polished timber flooring, sleek ceramic and copper finishes, a waterfront deck and a seemingly endless bark garden with direct lake access. This single-level space epitomises indoor-outdoor living with a bright, open plan that allows the breeze to run through it. A fully-equipped kitchen has all you’ll need including a five-burner gas stovetop, large double fridge, and dishwasher; alongside extra touches like a smeg toaster and a coffee machine. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a living area with a Sonos speaker, an LCD TV with Netflix and Stan and air-conditioning to keep temperatures comfortable. Working remotely during your stay? There is a separate study with a dual monitor set up via USB-C connection. The light-filled dining space has a six-person dining table, but the choice to dine al fresco on the waterfront-facing deck might be more enticing. A spacious backyard offers large grassy areas for the kids and pets to play, while a BBQ and lakefront fire pit provide some fun for the adults. The primary bedroom features a plush king bed, a large walk-in wardrobe and a pristine ensuite bathroom, the second room features a spacious queen bed while the third bedroom features two single beds. An additional bathroom boasts ample space and features a freestanding bath, double rainfall shower head and a double vanity with polished timber benchtops and sleek ceramic sinks. Additional amenities include a laundry room with a washer, dryer and additional toilet as well as off-street parking.

New South Wales’ Central Coast is for the surf pros, water lovers and nature dwellers. You’ll be staying in the lakeside suburb of Gorokan, surrounded by some of the area's most spectacular beaches. Join surfers and Sydney day trippers at The Entrance to catch some of the best waves in the area. Follow it up with lunch at Glass Onion Society where you’ll find locals sipping on long blacks and chowing down on BBQ brisket burgers. Just Ten minutes’ drive away you’ll find Wyrrabalong National Park, where stunning coastal walks sit alongside pristine stretches of white sand and rolling waves. Don’t miss a dip in the calmer waters of the neighbouring Soldiers Beach.
