A lovingly restored cottage with beautiful Lake Macquarie less than 100m away.

This lovingly restored 2 BR cottage is an ideal holiday destination, with beautiful Lake Macquarie less than 100m away.

You will enjoy all the comforts of home, including a super comfy King bed in the main and choose to have the second bedroom made up as a King or as two long singles - the choice is yours.

There is also a king single bed and trundle in the master bedroom - great for larger families.

This peaceful paradise, where Lake Macquarie connects to the Pacific Ocean, is the perfect holiday spot for a family or two couples looking to unwind or reconnect with nature.

Here are just some of the things you can do while enjoying your break at "Heavenly Haven":

# Relax by the lake (80m) with a delicious serving of fish and chips from "Salty's"

# Enjoy the fresh sea air as you walk or cycle along the lake to beautiful Pirrita Island (a popular and safe swimming spot) and the "Swansea Boardwalk" (2km)

# Watch the surf roll in from the end of the Swansea Channel Break-Wall - you may see Dolphins, Whales, or even our Resident Seal (15 mins walk)

# Send the kids to Swansea Pool (80m) or Skate Bowl (150m) while you relax with a book in the private courtyard.

# Bring your bike and explore the tranquility of the famous "Fernleigh Track" all the way into Newcastle.

# Enjoy lunch at the "Channel Cafe" as you watch the bridge open to let the yachts in and out of the lake.

# Walk or drive over the bridge to "Granny's Pool", a majestic spot for young families wanting to swim safely in the calm shallow water off the gap in the middle of the Break wall. (15min walk or 2 min drive)

# For those into fitness, sweat it out at the multi-stop outdoor exercise circuit as you watch the sunrise over the bridge.

# Use the haven as your base while enjoying an open water dive and snorkelling safari with "Dive Swansea"

# Thrill seekers can "Skydive the Beach" at Lake Mac Airport, watch the skydivers master their landings, or scream your lungs out onboard "Jet Buzz" water sports.
