'Palm Retreat': 100m to Lake Cathie and beach, great for families- Pet Friendly

Welcome to 'The Palm' Retreat in Lake Cathie - a beautifully coastal escape walking distance to the lake and beach, and a short drive to Port Macquarie.

Designed for relaxed coastal living, this spacious and thoughtfully furnished home is perfect for families, couples travelling together, or groups looking to unwind on the Mid North Coast.

The home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests, with space for up to 10 (with the couch converting to another bed), making it ideal for family holidays or relaxed getaways with friends.

The open-plan layout provides a welcoming space to gather, whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee, preparing meals together, or relaxing after a day exploring the local beaches and lake.

Enjoy the large pool, soak in the spa tub, outdoor shower to leave the sand behind and fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Lots of flexibility for indoor or outdoor times.

There are also games, books and puzzles to play with if the weather isn't ideal!
