The Loft is one of those rare finds, tucked away on the Shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, where you can experience complete tranquility.

Only a little over an hour from Sydney, The Loft at Kilaben Bay is a dreamy escape from the madness of everyday life.

Forget work and unwind, take time for yourself, we have everything you need to relax - peaceful serenity, the soothing sound of the lake lapping at your door, the view to die for, and the best location in the Heart of the Hunter.

Awaken to the sounds of the local wildlife, and the lapping water on the foreshore. Go for an early morning dip, or for the not-so-brave, maybe a hot tub to get the day started. Cook a barbeque breakfast on the deck and plan your day.

There is so much to do within reach of your abode. The beautiful beaches of Newcastle, with clear water and golden sand, are only 30 minutes away. If the surf is not your choice, maybe a drive to the vineyards takes your fancy. After all, they are less than half an hour away, and Hunter Valley restaurants and vineyards are world-renowned. Nelson Bay is also within reach, so if you fancy a bit of dolphin watching, or big game fishing, there are plenty of charter boats at the Bay.

Even closer is Newcastle Harbour with with the beautiful foreshore and great city shopping. The Watagan Mountains provide a stunning backdrop to the Lake, and you can hike, bike, or horseback your way around the mountains. Barrington Tops National Park is another great place for a visit. Experience the natural splendour of the park, let the serenity and wilderness surround you. Barrington Tops provides habitat for an enormous diversity of plants and animal life.

Alternatively, relax at the beaches dotted around the lake itself. Sandy inlets, secluded bays and protected foreshore feature around the Lake, perfect for swimming, snorkeling and fishing. Try Wangi, Cam's Wharf or Shingle Splitters Point.

Finally, relax at The Loft, you don't have to go anywhere. Read a book, enjoy a game of tennis, throw a line off the end of the jetty and catch dinner.The magnificent sunsets provide the backdrop to your secluded hideaway. Take time to enjoy the many wonders of life on the lake.

The Loft awaits you.
