Property information

The Beach Shack is a relaxed, tastefully renovated 4-bedroom beach house perfectly positioned just across the road from patrolled Blacksmiths Beach, only about 100 metres from the sand and surf. Sleeping up to 9 guests, it offers a flexible layout with one queen bedroom, one double bedroom, a twin single bedroom and a tribunk room with a double on the bottom and single on top. Ceiling fans in all rooms, two bathrooms, including a main with double basins, shower and toilet, make it comfortable and practical for families and groups. The main draw is the coastal lifestyle. A spacious, well-equipped kitchen makes family meals easy, while the large undercover deck with BBQ and outdoor dining sets the scene for relaxed afternoons and evenings. Outside, you can unwind in the hammock, rinse off in the heated outdoor shower after a swim, and enjoy the large, secure backyard, with dogs welcome on request. A secure gated driveway provides ample off-street parking for cars, boats or jet skis. With Swansea’s supermarkets, cafés and essentials just a short drive away, The Beach Shack is an easy, family-friendly base for a classic Aussie beach holiday.

Neighbourhood information

Blacksmiths is a relaxed coastal village nestled between the ocean and the lake, offering a laid-back beachside lifestyle perfect for holidays. Just a short walk from the house, you’ll find Blacksmiths Beach, a patrolled beach that’s ideal for swimming, surfing, and long walks along the sand. Nearby Nine Mile Beach is a local favourite for fishing and quieter moments by the water. The area is also bordered by beautiful Lake Macquarie, Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake, offering calm waters for boating, kayaking, and lakeside picnics. You’ll be within easy reach of local shops, cafés, and takeaway spots, with more extensive options just a few minutes away in Belmont or Swansea. Families will love the open parks and playgrounds, and everything you need is close by, including the local primary school and walking paths. The neighbourhood is peaceful and friendly, with a real community feel, making it a perfect base for relaxing coastal getaways.
