Paradise Palms - Sandy Bottom Lakefront w/ Jetty!
Welcome to Paradise Palm, a house of peace, fun and relaxation. Nestled amongst the palms trees and tropical garden on the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie this is the perfect location to spend a few days or weeks sailing, skiing, swimming, paddling, boating, fishing and relaxing.
Paradise Palms is not just an ideal summer house, it's a fantastic base with plenty to do around the area from a trip to the Hunter Valley Wineries 50 minutes to the city of Newcastle & stroll along Darby Street for a spot for lunch or explore nearby Caves Beach & Catherine Hill Bay Beaches or simply unwind and enjoy an unplugged evening in with your family.
When you want a rest from playing in and on the biggest salt water lake in the Southern Hemisphere, you could have a picnic on the back lawn taking in the water views, enough lawn for the kids to run around the back yard, throw a fishing line off the Jetty or have a BBQ under the cabana on the water's edge.
Paradise Palms is well equipped for a great family holiday and is big enough to accommodate two families or an extended family.

The house in pictures looks a lot better than in real life- it’s had a quick Reno with rough finishings. The house was clean though (bbq on the other hand hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time). The location is the best thing about this place - we spent the entire time sitting outside by the lake.

Reviewer Comments:
My family of 7 shared a lovely Christmas together for the first time. The 3 grandchildren loved the swimming area and feeding the ducks every day. The location was superb for kids and for launching my son's boat at the nearby ramp. The place is spacious and well equipped with plenty of extras in the kitchen and bathroom. Unfortunately the AC is only efficient for the main living area and on hot nights the bedrooms (especially on the top floor) were extremely hot even with fans. The BBQ wasn't useable so that was disappointing. For an elderly grandmother the lack of handrails on the steep stairs to the ground floor was tricky. Despite these issues we had a great Christmas all together!
