Bluewater at Mannering Park
Treat your family and friends to the beauty and variety of this little-known oasis at the southern end of Lake Macquarie on the NSW Central Coast, which is only just over an hours drive from Sydney.
If you've yet to discover Mannering Park, be prepared to be surprised and delighted at the beauty of the lake and as well as the huge variety of attractions and activities available. Whether you are into boating, water sports, kayaking, swimming, surfing, sand dunes, historic towns, fishing, walking, cycling, reading, shopping, dining out, art, photography, or wine tasting there is something for everyone to enjoy either right on the lake or within easy walk or a short drive away.
The best way to experience the lakeside magic is from one of the decks of this fantastic absolute waterfront accommodation. A superb rental holiday house, you will instantly feel at home with your drink in hand, admiring the sunset, freshly caught fish or steak cooking on the BBQ, ducks and pelicans gliding by as you contemplate your next days agenda.
Blue water has been designed to make the most of lakeside living and is fitted out to make your holiday by the lake a special, fun, and relaxing experience.
The house is a substantial high quality master-designed 2 story residence, With upper and lower decks at the rear offering stunning uninterrupted panoramic views of the lake, you can walk directly from the lower deck, across the lawn, straight out to the lake and the jetty where you can also moor your boat.
There is parking space at the front for 2 cars, and is only 200 metres away from the popular Vales Point boat ramp and picnic area, with netted swimming area for the kids to enjoy.
There are three impressive and comfortable downstairs open plan living areas, a modern very well equipped kitchen, four bedrooms upstairs with ducted air conditioning, and a home theatre and rumpus area with views across the lake.
Above all, you will appreciate the calming and refreshing effects of waking up to a beautiful lake and the sights and sounds of the abundant bird life (including opportunity to feed the friendly local pelicans).

Wake Up to a beautiful waterview
House is beautiful and clean in a great neighbourhood right on the water. It has everything needed so no need to bring anything other than yourself. Loved that the owner let use of 2 kayaks & a canoe. Place has table and chairs at back where you overlook private jetty and watch the ducks and pelicans swim by and watch the sunset. Bedrooms and living space is very spacious.

Family Chill Time
Mannering Park was a lovely place for extended family to chill for the week after such a hectic 2020.
Large house and areas for family to find their own quiet space.

Great location disappointing house
We stayed at the property for a few days the location was great! The house was not the cleanest on arrival the carpets were all torn and old. Beds were not comfortable and old. They accused us of leaving stains on the old white carpet in a room no one even used during our stay. We left the property cleaner then it was on arrival! For the prices charged carpets/furniture should be updated to meet the market of other fully renovated houses located up the road for the same price.

Nice-quite place to stay in Holiday
Nice-quite location and environment, Perfect for holiday, Far away from the crowd. Well organized house for entertainment. Blue Water view from the large balcony and king bedroom as well as from ground floor open alfresco. Kids love to play with ducks. All facilities there but need to pay for everything even toilet paper. Upstair central heater not working properly, Its not works for King bedroom and common area, we were suffering to stay in winter night. Need ti fix.
