We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Katie and Bob's place; they really made us feel at home. Lake Cathie was the perfect base for us to explore the region, being within close proximity to Port Macquarie, the hinterland and access to the highway. The studio itself is situated within very easy walking distance from the lake, beach, tennis courts and the shops, so in terms of location, it was perfect.
We especially loved relaxing on the lush, leafy patio area and swimming in the gorgeous salt water pool. Sleeping and waking up to the sound of waves every day was magic, and leaving the windows open all day (with screens) filled the studio with fresh sea breezes that cooled everything right down. In terms of amenities, It was particularly great to have laundry facilities, a closet to hang clothes, and a big shower with fantastic water pressure. Loved having lots of reading material and board games on hand, too. We found the bed very comfortable and slept soundly. The kitchenette, although small, suited our needs for basic food preparation, but we mostly ate out (that's what holidays are all about!)
Katie and Bob are friendly and warm people; they made sure we had everything we needed and were always available to answer our calls/messages if we needed something. We enjoyed chatting with them when we crossed paths, however they were also very respectful of our privacy.
If you are looking for a place to stay that's a bit quieter, but still close to everything in the region, Katie and Bob's studio is a fantastic option, and very reasonably priced, too.
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, Katie and Bob, we left feeling well-rested and rejuvenated!
