Perched right on the edge of Budgewoi Lake, this stylish waterfront escape sets the standard for unforgettable lakefront living. Relax in the living room, where a plush lounge invites you to unwind, a Sonos speaker sets the mood, and an LCD TV with Netflix and Stan keeps you entertained. Stay comfortable with air conditioning. The fully equipped kitchen invites you to cook and connect with a five-burner gas stovetop, large double fridge, dishwasher, Smeg toaster and coffee machine, all at your fingertips. Share slow breakfasts or lively dinners in the sunlit dining area with seating for six. For something more scenic, step outside to the waterfront deck and enjoy your meal with uninterrupted lake views. The spacious backyard is perfect for letting kids and pets roam freely, while adults can relax by the BBQ or gather around the lakefront fire pit as the sun sets over the water. Retreat to comfort at the end of the day. Sink into the king bed in the primary bedroom, complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite for added privacy. Unwind in the second bedroom with its queen bed, or settle into the third bedroom, where two single beds offer a perfect set-up for kids or friends. Refresh in the main bathroom—soak in the freestanding bath, enjoy the double rainfall shower, and get ready with the double vanity. Stay productive in the dedicated study, equipped with a dual-monitor setup and USB-C connection—ideal for remote work. Keep things easy with a washer, dryer, and an extra toilet for convenience. Park off-street with ease. While the property is pet-friendly, it isn’t fully fenced, so outdoor playtime will need supervision.

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.
