Hotels in Lake Macquarie, Australia
Lake Macquarie is a coastal saltwater lake in New South Wales, just south of Newcastle, famous for being Australia's largest coastal lake and a haven for water sports. The climate is mild year-round, with warm summers (around 82°F/28°C) perfect for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the calm lake, and cooler winters (around 64°F/18°C) ideal for bushwalking through the Watagans National Park. If you visit in spring, you can watch the Lake Macquarie Marathon along the shoreline, or try fishing for bream and flathead from the lake's jetties any season.
