Little Beaches is perfectly positioned between the ocean and Lake Macquarie at one of the region's best-kept secrets.

Take a short stroll to four beautiful local beaches, including Secret Beach, Lucy's Beach, Salts Bay and Little Swansea Heads. Only moments away on foot, allowing you to enjoy swimming, snorkelling and peaceful shoreline walks.

Keep an eye out for resident sea eagles, pelicans and cormorants, while dolphins regularly visit the bay.

During whale migration season, enjoy exceptional whale watching from Illawong Park, Swansea Heads Marine Rescue Lookout and nearby coastal cliffs overlooking Moon Island. Explore the ancient Fossil Forest rock platform, rock pools and playground at nearby Reids Reserve. Just minutes away, no car required.

    Sorry for the late review — as soon as I got back to Sydney, I went straight back into a hectic work schedule! We had such a wonderful stay. The peace and sense of relaxation this place offers were absolutely amazing — exactly what I needed before getting back to the busy city life. It’s the perfect place to slow down, switch off, and enjoy a quiet and relaxing weekend. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, and the host was friendly and responsive throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely love to come back again!

    What an absolute gem! This house is in an idyllic waterfront location, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The modern two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout is stylish, and impeccably maintained. The highlight for us was the fantastic balcony—perfect for enjoying breakfast, relaxing with a glass of wine, or simply taking in the scenery. The hostess was also wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and responsive throughout our stay, making everything effortless from check-in to check-out. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would happily return. Highly recommended! We will be back, that is for sure!

    We had a fantastic stay and would happily come back. The place was spotless, modern, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The waterfront views were absolutely beautiful, especially in the morning and at sunset. The location was peaceful while still being close to everything. Communication with the host was easy, and check-in was seamless. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    Little Beaches was an incredibly beautiful place to stay. It was immaculately kept. The furnishings were first class, and a wonderfully designed layout. Beds were comfortable. Linen and towels high quality. Rain showers and big bath. It had an internal fireplace in the middle of the lounge room which was easy to light and extinguish. The view on the water was spectacular. Visible from every room. A very relaxing evening on the deck with a drink and your thoughts. This home is top shelf. (two thing to note: there is no cooktop in the kitchenette. Only a microwave. There is a BBQ downstairs on the patio though. The stairs and driveway from the street are a little steep. If you struggle with mobility, this may not be for you).
