The perfect escape - we have stayed at places all over the world and this is one of our favourites- just heavenly ! All the added little touches like beautiful cups and sauces, soft bath robes, essential oils, candles, fresh herbs - it was so comfortable, so clean and the host left us amazing food - especially thought out for us, I am sure. Words cannot describe this place. We would come from NZ every year if we could to be here !!

This place is a dream. Watersedge is just that - a few steps to the beautiful Lake Macquarie - private jetty, kayaks, fishing gear and just about everything you’d ever need for a great stay. The Boathouse is well laid out and very comfortable . The breakfast was brilliant - more than enough. The Hunter Valley wineries are a short drive away and local restaurants are only a couple of minutes away. We loved our stay here and will definitely be back , Thank you

We had the most fantastic romantic getaway at the absolutely gorgeous Watersedge Boathouse. We feel in love with the stunning view, literally right on the waters' edge, and the cosy feel and just couldn't believe how comfortable the Boathouse was, every tiny little detail has been so carefully thought through. The icing on the cake was the incredibly delicious breakfast that's included for 2 two nights - what a special touch. We will be back again and again and again for sure.

The Boathouse is a true waters edge escape! Every detail has been considered to absolute perfection. The boathouse is a private, super clean, home away from home with breathtaking point-blank views of Lake Macquarie. We highly recommend.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying in the Boathouse for 10 days in April 2025. From booking the accommodation and throughout my whole stay, my experience was 100% fantastic. The hosts were lovely and very responsive to communications. Their knowledge of the Lake Macquarie area was priceless. The accommodation was beautifully clean with too many little extras to list that made me feel totally spoilt. The waterfront views were picture perfect no matter the weather. I truly hope to have the opportunity to stay at the Boathouse again and highly recommend this accommodation to those who seek a relaxing getaway.

I had a lovely few nights away at the Watersedge Boathouse. It was perfectly located on the waters edge, with a very peaceful outlook. Sandra and Colin were quick to respond when there was a mechanical difficulty and were friendly and helpful. Sandra’s folder was impressively comprehensive with lots of great info. Thank you for a wonderful time away.

Sandra & Colin’s Watersedge B&B was perfect for our week away to celebrate my partner’s 50th birthday. There was space to park both our boat trailer & car in the driveway provided. The accommodation was well presented & had everything we needed. The cheese & biscuits were devoured once we’d unpacked & the breakfast provisions were more than enough for two days. Sandra was responsive to a couple of questions we had during our stay & we appreciated Colin’s help/advice about local weather conditions together with the best way to tie up our boat. We made good use of their private jetty, going out on the water almost every day. We used the complimentary Wangi RSL membership card provided in the welcome book (twice!) and also tried out the local Thai restaurant (Bunsom’s Aussie Thai) which was very tasty & good value. We loved meeting Benji who was cutely protective. We would definitely come back if the opportunity arose. Thanks Sandra & Colin!
