The honest bit
Some of our rooms hear the highway.
We could leave you to find that out at six in the morning. Instead, here is a plan of the property, a rating on every room, and the exact sentence to say when you book.
The property, front to back
Lake, then highway, then us.
Everything at the front has the outlook. Everything at the back has the quiet. There is no room that has both, and no amount of website copy will change that.
Lake Macquarie
Pacific Highway749
Front block — upper level
Balcony rooms with the lake outlook, over the highway. The best view we have, and the most road noise.
Highway-facing
Front block — ground level
Park at your door. Set behind the front row, so quieter than the balconies above.
Quieter
Rear — pool, laundry, car park
The saltwater pool, the guest laundry and the rest of the parking sit behind the front block.
Rear block — ground level
The Family Room is here: furthest from the road, and the quietest room on the property.

Two questions
Answer this and the room picks itself.
What matters most to you?
Family Room
Quietest
Rear ground floor, furthest from the road. If it is taken, ask for the Family Spa Room or a rear Standard Queen.
See the room The lake outlookBalcony Queen Room
Highway-facing
Upper level at the front, private balcony, lake across the highway. You will hear the road.

Our largest room, upstairs with a balcony. For quiet with a family, take the Family Room instead.

Where each room actually sits.
- Standard Queen Room
Quieter
Ground floor, set back from the Pacific Highway behind the front row. You will hear traffic at times, particularly early morning. Ask reception for a room away from the highway end when you book — they will do it if one is free.- Deluxe King Room
Quieter
Set back from the highway rather than in the front row. Traffic is audible but muted. If you are a light sleeper, say so at reception — they know which rooms are best on a busy night.- Balcony Queen Room
Highway-facing
Upper level at the front of the property, facing the Pacific Highway with Lake Macquarie beyond it. This is the room with the outlook, and it is also the room that hears the road. Traffic thins out after dark but never stops. If quiet matters more than the view, book a Family Room instead.- Balcony Spa Suite
Highway-facing
Upper level, corner position at the front. Lake outlook, and highway noise with it. The corner position means one fewer shared wall, which helps a little. If you want a spa bath without the road, book the Family Spa Room.- Family Room
Quietest
Ground floor at the rear of the property, the furthest our rooms get from the Pacific Highway. This is the quietest accommodation we have. If sleep is the priority — a baby, a night-shift worker, a hospital stay — this is the room to ask for.- Family Spa Room
Quieter
Set back from the highway, without the front-row exposure of the balcony rooms. Traffic is audible but muted. The quietest room with a spa bath.- Family Balcony Room
Highway-facing
Upper level at the front. The largest family option and the one with the outlook, which also makes it the one that hears the highway. Families who want quiet should book the ground-floor Family Room.
How to ask
Say this when you book.
Reception can allocate rooms. They cannot read minds, and the booking engine has no field for it.
“Could I have a room away from the highway end, please — I am a light sleeper.”
If a quieter room is free on your dates, they will give it to you. If it is not, they will tell you that too, before you arrive rather than after.
