Lake Cathie has always been a favorite holiday destination, as this quaint coastal town has it all: a tidal lake, lagoon, endless pristine beaches, great fishing, mountain biking, surf break at Middle Rock Beach, playground, skate park.
For tourists that wish to tick of off ‘all things big’ – Lake Cathie is home to the Big Bowl, a yellow bowling bowl you cannot miss across the skate park.
Lake Cathie is pronounced by locals as Lake ‘Cat-eye’, due to the prawns looking at you at night with their eyes lit up (fact or myth?).
Lake Cathie is 15 minutes South of Port Macquarie, on the Mid-North Coast of NSW.
Beachscape Holiday Rentals have 13 holiday rental homes available to tourists and guests looking for short-term stays. In December 2023 and January 2024 Beachscape hosted 77 families and couples in Lake Cathie for Christmas celebrations and summer holidays.
Beachscape offer a great choice of holiday rentals to suit any number of guests and budgets, from stunning absolute beach-front properties, lakefront homes and units. 70% of our Beachscape’s Lake Cathie holiday rental homes are pet-friendly.
In addition to holiday rentals Beachscape offers fully furnished properties for 3 to 6 months or longer lease in Lake Cathie. The demand for fully furnished rentals is increasing with the influx of visiting practitioners, project workers, people relocating, and couples and families building their own homes. The large number of new coastal homes being established in Lake Cathie brings in more people that once they arrive they never wish to leave.
Lake Cathie’s large saltwater lake is the second-largest estuarine salt marsh area in New South Wales, teeming with birdlife and wildlife around its shores. When the lake is opened to the sea (which happens periodically), the warm shallow waters are ideal for swimming, and there are lots of picnic tables and barbecues around the shore. The lake is a popular toddler swimming spot, great for fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding all year round, especially when the lake is open to the Pacific Ocean. Venture up to the northern headland where a fantastic forest walk has been established, with a viewing platform that
offers fabulous views across the lake and out to the ocean.
Lake Cathie food and entertainment. Across the road from the lake you can hire SUPs and you find a variety of local food outlets, including the popular Good Food and Sunshines, the yellow coffee/food van, as well as a the Lake Cathie bowling club (try barefoot bowls, or chill out with a drink and listen to live music). Along the road is Lakes Cathies retail hub with a Woolworths, petrol station, post office, bakery, florist, cafés and more. All minutes away across from Lake Cathie beach.
You will also discover so many things to do and see within a short drive of Lake Cathie – North (Port Macquarie), South (Bonny Hills, North Haven to Dunbogan) and West (Wauchope and hinterland). Even East if you are bring a boat with you.
In summary, Lake Cathie is an idyllic and laid-back sea-and-lakeside holiday getaway and
make a weekend or week by the coast pass by in the blink of a ‘Cat eye’.
