House or boathouse in Fishing Point, Australia
The lower floor of our home and our boathouse are both available to intervac exchange friends. We transformed the ground floor into a self-contained Apartment with its own entrance after our 3 sons moved out. The Main bedroom, kitchenette and living room overlook the lake. It has a brand new kitchenette with microwave, electric 2-burner cooktop, small frig, toaster & kettle, plus table and 4 chairs. The main bedroom has a queen-size bed. The second bedroom opens onto a leafy courtyard, and has a double bed. The third bedroom has a single bed & trundle. The TV room has comfortable lounges, TV and DVD, plus a study desk, and lots of books, mostly crime novels and books about sailing! There is a choice of 4 outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the view, eat meals, read a book, enjoy the breezes, watch the yacht races and contemplate the birdlife.
Separate to the house is a Boathouse. We have completely re-built our boatshed right at the waters' edge, and turned it into a 28 square-mtr "boathouse" studio with a separate bathroom. You can sit at the wide windows and eat your meals looking out at the lake only metres away. It has a double bed and 2 single-size bunk beds. The kitchenette has a 4-burner electric hotplate, under-bench frig, microwave, kettle and toaster, and lots of cooking equipment and crockery It is especially well-equipped with wine glasses! I would live there if I didn't have so much accumulated memorabilia from over the years! You can wake up to beautiful sunrises and walk a few steps out onto your own terrace, into the water to swim, or fish at the jetty right at your door.

Our home is on the shores of Lake Macquarie, Australia's largest coastal lake. It is more than 8 times the size of Sydney Harbour. You can swim or fish from our private sandy beach or our jetty. The lake is a very popular sailing venue and there are several yacht clubs nearby, and regular races to watch.
Newcastle is 40 minutes away by car or bus, and Sydney is 90 minutes away by road, and 2 hours by train. The main highway connecting the east coast of Australia is 10 minutes away. The quaint villages of Wangi Wangi and Rathmines are a few minutes away. Both have walks and bike tracks along the beautiful foreshore. You can find waterfront cafes and a larger supermarket in Toronto village 8 minutes away. Newcastle is an interesting port city with fantastic surfing beaches and restaurants, cliff walks and rock platform swimming pools.
The vineyards of the Hunter Valley are about 40minutes drive through farming countryside. Numerous art galleries, cafes/restaurants and beautiful gardens & villages are also in the vineyard area, not to mention superb wines (but I am biased!). Further afield are the historic townships of Morpeth, Lorn and Stockton. Stockton is a $2 ferry ride across the mouth of the Hunter river from Newcastle city. You can walk around it in an hour or so and have a coffee at Lexi's On The Beach.
Newcastle airport is about 50minutes away.
