Apartments in Balmoral

Absolutely loved this bright, clean, spacious apartment which was a home from home during our first week in Australia from the UK as it had everything you could want! The hosts were amazing, regularly checking that we had everything we needed and Lake Macquarie was such a good choice to stay as it felt so safe. The lake is beautiful & parking at the property was easy (on the drive). Warners bay was just a short car journey away with shops, restaurants, theatre. From this base we were able to drive to beautiful beaches (Redhead was our favourite) I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again in a heartbeat if I visited Australia again. Thank you Max and Gabrielle for a wonderful stay!

Location is excellent, it is on a busy street corner and outside on the deck it is unpleasantly loud, however we expected that from reviews and mapping. There are very convenient restaurants and large grocery across the street. Inside it's quiet, and would be nice and comfortable simply with a better couch. It feels kinda like a weekend bachelor pad, but with a few changes like the couch and a little tlc from cleaning crew, this has more potential

Outstanding stay thanks so much. Such a great hotel, easy to get around and restaurants and shops close. Thanks for your hospitality 🙏

Everything about cockatoo retreat were perfect the place is absolutely beautiful

Di was so friendly. The bed was comfy. The location and view were stunning. It was clean and had more than we could have asked for. Only 10 minutes from the shops.

Generously sized 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space for the whole family. Loved the DVDs and board games available for the kids. Easy access to the beach. Would definitely stay again

The location is outstanding with easy access to the beach, coffee shop, IGA and small community shops such as the local butcher, hairdresser and pub.
