About this property

Kataway - located at Seal Rocks

Kataway is named after the beautiful bay the house overlooks on Myall Lake.

Kataway is situated on a private road offering uninterrupted views over park like gardens to Myall Lake at the front and unspoilt wooded hillside views from the rear of the house.

Kataway is a double story house featuring large open plan living spaces with timber and sisal flooring and high cathedral ceilings.

In the heat of the summer Kataway is light and bright catching the breezes off the lake.
The living spaces open onto a huge deck that allows you to take in views of the garden and the lake. Passing kangaroos and even the occasional koala can sometimes be spotted too.
The deck is furnished with timber lounge chairs & a dining bar table with a fixed shade sail. Its a great spot for breakfast, and afternoon nap or sunset cocktails.
The Webber bbq is out there too.

After a hard day on the lake, at the beach or exploring the surrounding countryside, it is comfort that you want and this is what you get at Kataway.

There are several separate relaxing areas for friends, family and children.
The decor is an eclectic mix of 50's style, French provincial, artworks and quirky decorative touches, huge comfortable sofas to stretch out on and plenty of armchairs to curl up on.
On cold winter nights gather round the wood burning combustion stove in the main living area and with oil fired radiators in every room, Kataway stays warm and cozy through the cooller months.

Upstairs and downstairs each have their own TV areas which include widescreen tvs, dvd and dvd collections. Cd player, CDs radio etc.

The kitchen is extremely well equipped with all utensils
and crockery needed for preparing, cooking and serving
light snacks through to full dinner parties. There is a gas stove top with electric range and grill, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer a Nespresso coffee machine (you will have to take your own Nespresso coffee pods to use) and a Webber gas bbq for cooking the freshly caught seafood (from the fish co-op if its easier). There is also an outdoor fireplace/bbq area which is a great spot to stargaze from.

Kataway offers a peaceful master bedroom with king size bed and a single bed with fabulous views over the garden to the lake.
The second guest room offers queen size bed and scenic views of the wooded hillside at the rear of Kataway.

The 2 main bedrooms share a spacious bathroom with separate shower and bathtub.

Downstairs you will find a huge rumpus room with comfortable sofa, armchairs and dining setting, as well as a single bed. Ideal for the kids to escape to.

Adjoining the rumpus room is a huge twin queen bedroom with sliding doors onto the garden.

Please be aware that due to the current situation with COVID-19 we are not supplying linen. You will need to bring your own linen and towels.

The downstairs accommodation is serviced by an ensuite shower room with toilet plus a separate laundry with frontloader and drier.

Kataway is a fantastic holiday home to make your own when on holiday. It is ideally located for you and your guests to enjoy the sights and sounds of Seal Rocks and the Great Lakes or to be used as a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding beaches, lakes and attractions.
Whatever option you choose, Kataway makes the perfect getaway.

Kataway is a home to enjoy and be comfortable in.
Many of our guests are repeat and comment on how they feel like they are staying at a good friends or a well loved relatives home.

We hope that you will enjoy staying at Kataway too.

Weekend away
Great house! It has a lot of character and is really comfortable. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain and didn't get the opportunity to enjoy the deck enough but the fireplace made up for it. A lovely comfortable house with lots of space.

Amazing, peaceful location.
We spent two nights at Kataway with a group of friends for some much needed relaxation. The house was well stocked for cooking and the deck was the best spot to hang out. Perfect location, close to Neranie, Seal Rocks and Bungwahl. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfy, with beautiful views (either to the lake or garden). The house would be great in winter or summer. We will definitely visit again.

Relaxing stay
Lovely home with great views. Ideal to enjoy Barrington coast, lake water activities and sea. Clean and with all you need for a great stay. Just need some blackout curtains if you’re planning to sleep in.
