Your property:
The Boathouse at Bonnells is a unique, laid-back-lux, absolute waterfront, premium property that you simply won't find anywhere else in Lake Macquarie.
Mere footsteps from the water's edge, this sublime absolute-waterfront property is bordered on one side by a lush, tranquil and sweeping waterfront reserve.
Surrounded by lush gardens, the property comes alive at night, with pretty solar lights sprinkled throughout, and is the perfect oasis to kick off your shoes and let any of life's worries float away.
Open your full-width bi-fold doors to create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection to the elevated deck area, and enjoy the expansive 180 degree water view across Bonnells Bay.
You will enjoy direct access to the water, via your private jetty or your (shared) boat ramp. Or, you could spend your days reclining on one of two luxurious sun loungers, shaded by your thatched outdoor umbrella, enjoying the shimmering light dance across the lake.
The Boathouse at Bonnells offers one king bedroom, and sleeps 2 people. It has a bathroom en-suite with rain shower, plus an additional powder room for your added comfort. You will enjoy a full SMEG kitchen, laundry facilities, as well as a full wet-bar area, with wine dual temperature wine fridge.
