00:00I'm here at the gorgeous Cairns Wharf in Lake Macquarie, New South Wales. Welcome to our Lake
00:10Macquarie travel guide. Just under two hours north of Sydney and twice the size of Sydney
00:17Harbour, it is the perfect escape for peace, space and lakeside charm.
00:23Nestled on the sand dunes of Caves Beach is the stunning Caves coastal bar and bungalows.
00:33Tucked into sand dunes and overlooking a lush lagoon, each romantic bungalow includes a king-sized bed,
00:42freestanding bath and waterfall shower. It's the ideal getaway for birdwatchers who want that added
00:50touch of luxury.
00:55Treat your taste buds at 8 at Trinity, where beautifully plated modern Australian fare is the star.
01:03With plenty of delicacies both delicious and beautifully presented, standouts include Singapore
01:10chilli-style prawns with homemade bao buns and a truly unexpected favourite, their slow-roasted
01:18watermelon. Roasted for eight hours, this surprisingly tangy dish is served with burrata,
01:24balsamic, cucamelons and delicious wood-fired bread.
01:33To wind down, step aboard Silver Sun Sailing's Spellcaster Yacht. Friendly locals,
01:40Scott and Kim treat guests like old friends, offering mimosas and pastries as you sail,
01:48made by local caterer Yellow Door Kitchen. I have no regret. It's the experience you've got to have.
01:54As with all good things in life, a little courage is needed to hop into the hammock hanging off the
01:59back of the boat. But once you're in, it's the cosiest seat in Lake Macquarie.
