I stayed for a month at Lake Cathie and had a great time. The overall experience surpassed my expectations. The proximity just across a quiet road to the beach was fantastic and it was beautiful to hear the waves at night. Lorraine, Kim and Paul were wonderful hosts, friendly and respectful of my privacy. I was initially concerned about staying in summer without air conditioning, but this was never an issue as the proximity to the ocean and the many windows meant there was a cross-breeze that kept the unit comfortable. Overall, I had a great time and hope to be back again soon.
