About our home
Modernised home, pick veg & herbs from the garden. Abundance of bird and wildlife. Lemon Tree is a quiet little village on the Tiligerry Peninsula, several local restaurants and a Bowling Club all within easy walk along the boardwalk. Great walking, fishing, boating but most of all relaxing but easy to travel to the Hunter Valley wineries (45 mins), Barrington Tops, (45 mins), Newcastle (35 mins), Nelson Bay(30 mins). Village has shops for daily needs and a local supermarket is 5 mins drive away. Sydney is an easy 2 1/2 hour drive, or take the train from Newcastle. Hire boats available from Lemon Tree Marina and house boats at Buladelah. Go out in the bay and see the dolphins. Perfect place for kayakers.
We have recently had a spa (hot tub) installed in the back garden.

Yvonne's reviews
As a host (4) 
“A lovely home and very generous hosts. The house is comfortable with views over the river. There are bush walks nearby and good access to beaches like Birubi and Nelson Bay. It’s a great haven for wildlife and a quiet spot for a relaxing retreat. Communication with Yvonne was excellent throughout. ”
“Yvonne and Joe have a lovely comfortable home in a beautiful location right on the water. Great for waterside walks to a nearby , cute café and for boating. overall we were very impressed by the natural beauty and birdlife of the whole Peninsula. So much to see and do in this tucked away area. If you are lucky enough to meet them as we did, you will appreciate what kind and thoughtful hosts they are. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
“Yvonne and Jo left very comprehensive notes about everything. They also have some very nice friends who picked us up from the station and others who invited us round for drinks. Unfortunately we could not order better weather!”
More about us
-
We are a retired couple who left Sydney for a quieter lifestyle ten years ago and don't regret a thing. We are involved in the local Marine Rescue Volunteers (Coastguard) and have recently joined an Historic Car Club as Joe has an old car. We belong to the local walking group as well and have done some great walks with them (they are open to visitors too should you wish to stay). While it's ok to spend some time with family and friends we really would like to have our own base, at least for some of the time, so any length swap would be considered.
We love dogs so would be happy to dog-sit, as long as there is back up should we travel. -
