Lakeshores Accommodation is a family owned, locally based holiday rental company that has been looking after guests and holiday homes around Lake Macquarie since 1996. What started with just a couple of family properties has grown into a small, hands on team that lives, works, and plays in the same streets and beaches our guests come to enjoy. We are not a big corporate agency, we are local people who know the area and the homes we manage. You will often find us checking properties ourselves, meeting trades on site, and making sure each home is guest ready, rather than relying on cleaners alone to do the property management work. We love welcoming couples, families, workers, and of course their dogs, to relaxed and well presented homes Our focus is on honest communication, clean and comfortable stays, and sharing local tips so you can make the most of your time by the lake and at nearby Caves Beach. When you book with Lakeshores, you are supporting a local family business that genuinely cares about your stay and about the owners who trust us with their homes.
