Lake Macquarie

The largest saltwater lake in the Southern Hemisphere is at the heart of this region. The living is ultra-easy around Lake Macquarie, where the simple things you love never went out of style, the dress code reads ‘barefoot’ and the soundtrack is the gentle lapping of waves on the lake’s shore.
