Welcome

Originally built in 1901, the Captain's Cottage is an irresistible lakeside getaway nestled on the water's edge at Carey Bay, Lake Macquarie just over an hours drive from Sydney. It is the ideal accommodation for a couple seeking privacy and tranquillity.

This charming waterside boathouse provides fully self contained accommodation and has been beautifully furnished providing all the comforts of today whilst retaining its unique old world charm. Complimentary services like breakfast provisions on arrival and daily newspapers make The Captain's Cottage extra special.

Enjoy an armchair view of the ever-changing lake panorama with sea breezes to keep you cool on warm, balmy days. Enjoy fishing on Lake Macquarie or curl up with a book in front of the cosy wood fire.

The Captain's Cottage is centrally located to the Hunter Valley, Newcastle beaches, Watagan Mountains and other Lake Macquarie attractions yet a world away for those who are seeking to escape from it all.

The lakes rippling surface rinses pebbles on the shore
A captain's spirit greets warmly as you open the door
Inside the cottage calm enters your veins
As serenity floods in through many panes
A growing smile, a sigh, and as you turn round
A thought wanders in, a treasure is found
