Lakeside Guesthouse

Lakeside Guesthouse is a self-contained three-bedroom house right on the shore of Lake Macquarie at Summerland Point, built for large groups, family reunions and retreats rather than a quick overnight. Dogs of any size are welcome with prior approval, which makes it a solid base for a multi-dog household or an extended-family trip to the lake.

Dog access and fees. The property accepts dogs of any size, subject to prior approval and typically a pet fee (expect around AU$50 per pet per stay, but confirm the exact figure at booking since online listings vary). The grounds are fenced, which is useful for a self-catered stay where you are not out walking every hour.

What to bring. This is a self-catering house rather than a pet-stocked hotel room, so pack your own bed, bowls and a towel for drying off after lake swims. Dogs should not be left unattended for long stretches and owners are expected to clean up after them, standard house rules for a holiday rental this size.

Getting there. The house is at 185 Cams Blvd, Summerland Point, an easy drive in on local roads. Parking on-site suits the large groups the property is set up for, but confirm bay numbers if you are bringing more than one car.

Nearby with the dogs. There are scenic lakefront walks close to the house, and it is a short drive to the ocean beaches around Lake Munmorah if the group wants sand as well as lake. FoodWorks on Cams Blvd covers day-to-day supplies.

Best for groups who want a private, fenced base on the water rather than a strict resort. Confirm the pet fee and any breed or number limits directly with the property before booking.
