Easter break
We enjoyed the beautiful location on the lake - equally peaceful in the sunshine or in the afternoon rain, when we were able to relax with our books both on the the deck or on the comfy lounges all overlooking the water. A short walk to the beach and into town for lunch or dinner. We will be back! The house is roomy and well laid out, including the decks overlooking the pool at the front or the lake at the back.

Relaxing river stay
The property was as described, right on the river. We loved sitting on the back verandah and watching the abundance of wildlife. We especially loved watching big man kangaroo cross from one side of the river to our side. He was amazing to watch swimming and hopping thru the river. The air cons came in handy as it was very hot and humid during our stay. Our little dog liked exploring the property and river front. All up an enjoyable stay was had by my husband and myself.

Lovely clean and tidy home ideal for our family. We loved the direct access to the lake, sitting on the deck to relax and enjoy our surroundings, the short walk to the beach and the dip in the pool! We would love to come back again.

Just what the doctor ordered
We had a wondeful stay and truly serene experience staying at Robyn's beautiful and spacious property. It has all water experince options - pool, lake and beach so close by. We especally liked canoeing across the lake to the channel connecting the beach, catching crabs in the provided crab nets out on the lake (and letting them go, coutesy to the vegans staying :)), and the dog friendly pool and side yard. While in a suburban location, the neighbours and locals were very friendly and felt very provite. Highly reccomend. Thanks Robyn. :)

Our Magic Lake House
We love this property & its location, the neighborhood feels so safe, & the house is stunning. There are so many areas to spread out, in total comfort, including the two decks. We have been staying at Melaleuca Lakeside for around 14 years now & have not found another property that compares, we feel completely at home & sometimes forget that it isn't ours. The property is beautifully maintained & neighbors on both sides are warm & friendly.....Jen & Kath

Easy access, great location, everything you need.
This property offers near level access for my elderly father (2 steps to get in, level once inside), proximity to the lagoon (20m), 4 mins walk to the beach, an inground pool much to my son’s delight, (very) friendly kookaburras, a great layout with pretty much everything you could want in it, and a gorgeous natural location. We will be holidaying here again with our family ASAP!!

Wonderful place to stay
The location and amenities were just as per description/photos! Smelled lovely with diffusers and fresh cut geraniums from the garden throughout, clean and tidy, lovely array of furniture/seating/decorations. Felt very peaceful and calm. Everyone loved the fishing, proximity to the beach, the pool…and what a lovely town with all you could need! Recommendations for improvements to get a 5 star from us were bins in bathroom/toilets, a watercraft of some description for use on the lake, staples like cling wrap/foil/salt & pepper, supply sheets and towels. Only real negative though was the kookaburras on the lake-side deck - we couldn’t eat out there with that gorgeous view in the fresh air because of them. They were very persistent and quite aggressive. As much as I would’ve hated having anything between me and the lake/view, I still would’ve preferred to have the large deck area screened in so we could use it more.

'Our Special Place by the Lake'
We love this property & have stayed many times. It always feels like 'coming home' The location is perfect, the view is ever changing & the house is so comfortable. We have introduced many friends to this fabulous location over the years. We do however, still miss the iconic print from the loungeroom.

Great location
Great location and property, the views over the lake were lovely and we all enjoyed the pool. The property is close to town, we enjoyed an easy bike ride in to get ice cream and go to the park. Its also an easy 20 min drive to coffs harbour where went to the big banana for a fun day out. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time 4 nights just wasn't enough. There was only one downfall, my husband and I both found the mattress in the main bedroom uncomfortable.

We had a lovely few days staying at Melaleuca Lakeside - the location is quiet, relaxing and beautiful with it's outlook over the lake. Perfect for families - the pool our children occupied for hours. The accomodation is a ten minute walk to town and a patrolled part of the beach - the beach is great for swimming, body boarding and surfing. A fabulous holiday away. Thank you!
