Location Feature
Private garden acreage near beach and countryside
Manor is set on leafy acreage in the tranquil hinterland suburb of Holgate, offering a private rural escape enveloped in established gardens and birdsong. This is the green, country heart of the Central Coast — a place of space, privacy and quiet. Yet the region's finest beaches are surprisingly close: Terrigal, Wamberal, Forresters and Avoca are all a short drive away. Erina Fair shopping centre and a wealth of dining options are nearby, and the wineries, orchards and country eateries of the hinterland are right on your doorstep. With both beach and countryside pleasures... within easy reach, Manor is ideal for guests seeking a spacious, private garden retreat.

Highlights
The Space
Manor is a single-level French Provincial homestead of grand and unhurried proportions — the kind of property that reveals something new and beautiful around every corner. Stately rooms filled with natural light, wrap-around verandahs connecting every space to the gardens, and a 2.5-acre block where cottage gardens mingle with towering trees, a sparkling pool and cabana, and Fires Creek winding quietly through the grounds. It sleeps 7 guests across three bedrooms, and from the moment you arrive, the feeling is one of total escape — the Central Coast's most distinctive rural retreat, yet just 20 minutes from the beach.
What We Love
The Grounds & Gardens:
Two and a half acres of lovingly tended cottage gardens — climbing roses, towering established trees capturing the breeze, and immersive green views from every room and verandah of the homestead. This is a garden that invites you to wander, to find a quiet corner, and to simply be somewhere genuinely beautiful. The kind of property that garden lovers will return to for years.
Fires Creek:
Fires Creek runs through the property — a gentle, tree-lined waterway that gives Manor its most magical quality. On summer evenings, fireflies appear along the creek bank in one of those genuinely rare natural spectacles that guests talk about long after they leave. In winter, the creek takes on a different beauty — quiet, misty, and completely private. The creek is the soul of this property and there is nothing else like it anywhere on the Central Coast.
The Pool & Cabana:
A sparkling in-ground pool surrounded by lush garden — with a large cabana and adjoining bathroom completing a private summer resort setting. Long pool afternoons while the birdlife moves through the garden around you, and the absolute quiet of 2.5 private acres in every direction.
The Wraparound Verandahs:
Wraparound verandahs seamlessly connect the homestead to the gardens on every side — the morning coffee verandah, the afternoon reading spot, the evening sundowner perch. There is always somewhere to sit, a different green view to look at, and a different quality of light to settle into. This is the feature that distinguishes Manor from every other property on the Central Coast.
The Fireplace & Living Room:
The striking living room with its combustion fireplace is the heart of Manor in the cooler months — crackling warmth, green garden views through the stately windows, and the kind of cosy atmosphere that turns a holiday into a genuine restoration. The adjoining timber kitchen and dining area shares the same beautiful garden outlook from every angle.
The Kitchen:
A spacious timber kitchen designed for unhurried cooking — generous, warm, and well-equipped for everything from a slow country breakfast to a long dinner with the group as the garden settles into evening.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
> Bedroom 1: King bed with private ensuite
> Bedroom 2: Queen bed
> Bedroom 3: Double bed + single bed
> 2 bathrooms
The Location:
Manor sits in Holgate — one of the Central Coast's most coveted rural enclaves, nestled between the Bouddi National Park and the rolling coastal hinterland. Terrigal and Avoca Beach are just 15–20 minutes by car, putting two of NSW's finest beaches within easy reach for day trips. The Fires Creek Botanical Winery — named for the same creek that runs through the property — is nearby. Gosford and the broader Central Coast are minutes away. You are completely in the country, and the coast is just around the corner.
Manor is the Central Coast's best kept seasonal secret — a property that offers something genuinely extraordinary in every month of the year. Summer means firefly evenings by the creek, long pool afternoons in the cabana, and the gardens at their most lush and colourful. Autumn brings the trees into their finest colour and the verandahs into daily use as the air cools and the garden goes golden.
Winter is when Manor reveals its most intimate character — the combustion fireplace glowing in the grand living room, morning mist in the cottage garden, the creek at its quietest and most beautiful, and the wraparound verandah with a coffee and a blanket as the property wakes slowly around you. Spring brings everything back to colour and warmth. Whatever season brings you to Manor — and every season has its reason — this is the Central Coast's most quietly extraordinary place to stay.
Neighborhood
Holgate is a tranquil semi-rural suburb on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated just west of Erina and not far from the beaches of Avoca and Terrigal. Known for its leafy streets, large blocks, and bushland surroundings, it offers a peaceful, country-like lifestyle while still being conveniently close to local shops, schools, and amenities.
The suburb appeals to families, retirees, and those seeking a quieter pace, with plenty of space for gardens, pets, and outdoor activities. Its natural environment provides walking trails, birdwatching, and a calm retreat from the busier coastal hubs nearby.
Despite its semi-rural feel, Holgate has good access to nearby coastal towns, beaches, and the M1 motorway, allowing residents to enjoy both relaxed living and easy connectivity to Sydney or Newcastle for work, leisure, or travel.

string(602) "Wamberal Lagoon in the backyard. Terrigal Beach a five-minute walk. Welcome to Lake House.
Lake House is a beautifully designed split-level home in Wamberal’s coveted Golden Triangle — a rare lakefront position with direct water access, a glass floor that stops guests mid-step, bi-fold doors opening to a covered lake-view terrace, and the golden sands of Terrigal Beach and the Esplanade café strip just five minutes on foot. For large families and groups who want the lake, the beach, and the best of Terrigal without ever needing the car, there is nowhere else like this on the Central Coast."
["space"]=>
string(4202) "Lake House sits on one of Wamberal’s most coveted streets — the Golden Triangle, where the lagoon is literally in the backyard and Terrigal Beach is a five-minute flat walk away. The home is designed around this extraordinary position: a split-level layout with a remarkable glass floor that captures both levels in one view, bi-fold doors that open the main living areas directly to a covered terrace above the lagoon, and two generous living zones that give a group of ten the space to be together and apart. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a modern kitchen make the practical side as good as the aspirational. Arrive. Unpack. Walk to the beach. The car stays where you parked it.
WHAT WE LOVE
The Lakefront Position:
Wamberal Lagoon is directly accessible from the backyard — kayak from the property, paddleboard on the still water, fish from the bank at sunrise, or simply sit on the terrace and watch the lagoon change light from morning to evening. The Golden Triangle is Wamberal’s most prestigious address, and Lake View sits right at the heart of it. This kind of direct lakefront access, in a position this central, at a scale that sleeps ten — it simply doesn’t exist elsewhere on the Central Coast.
The Glass Floor:
A glass floor at the heart of the split-level layout is the feature no guest expects and every guest photographs. It’s a conversation piece, an architectural statement, and the single most distinctive detail in any holiday home in Wamberal. Guests who stay at Lake View remember the glass floor — and it’s the reason they tell everyone else about it.
The Terrace & Bi-Fold Doors:
The covered terrace overlooking the lagoon is the heart of outdoor life at Lake View — accessible directly through bi-fold doors from the main living areas, and perfect for long group lunches, sundowner drinks, and evening dinners as the lagoon settles into the dusk. The indoor-outdoor flow is seamless, the water is always visible, and this is where the best moments of every stay happen.
The Kitchen & Living Areas:
A modern kitchen with island bench and quality appliances opens to the dining area and out to the terrace — designed for easy group cooking at every meal. Two separate living zones give the group the flexibility that large families specifically need: adults in one space, children in another, everyone under the same roof.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
> Bedroom 1: Queen bed, water views, private ensuite
> Bedroom 2: Queen bed, built-in robes
> Bedroom 3: Queen bed, built-in robes
> Bedroom 4: Queen bed, built-in robes
> Bedroom 5: Flexible sleeping (confirm configuration)
> 3 full bathrooms
The Location:
Lake View Road sits in Wamberal’s Golden Triangle — the most coveted pocket of this relaxed Central Coast suburb, where the lagoon meets the residential streets that lead directly to Terrigal. Terrigal Beach, the Esplanade, the rock pool, and The Haven headland are all five minutes away on foot. Avoca Beach and the broader Central Coast are a short drive for day trips. And when you’re done exploring — the lagoon is in the backyard waiting for you.
The Seasons:
Lake View earns its position in every season — and the lagoon changes character beautifully with each one. Summer means lake mornings, terrace lunches, and the five-minute walk to Terrigal Beach that never gets old no matter how many times you do it. The school holidays fill fast and for good reason — this is the lakefront-and-beach combination families plan trips around and return to year after year. Autumn brings the lagoon into its most golden and still season, the terrace into long afternoon use, and the Esplanade into its most relaxed mood.
Winter is when Lake View’s position really shows its quality — the Terrigal Esplanade restaurants are warm and unhurried, the lagoon is still and extraordinary in the morning light, and the five-minute walk to the beach belongs to the early risers who know the secret. Spring brings it all back to warmth. Whatever season brings your family here — the lake is in the backyard and Terrigal is five minutes away. There is nothing else quite like this on the Central Coast."
["neighborhood"]=>
string(639) "Wamberal sits in the Central Coast's "Golden Triangle," an easy walk to Terrigal Beach and the café and restaurant strip that runs behind it — allow around five minutes on foot. Terrigal Golf Club welcomes non-members for a round and a meal just a short drive away. For the more adventurous, the Skillion Lookout walk delivers panoramic coastal views, while a well-known dive site — the wreck of the ex-HMAS Adelaide — rests offshore for certified divers.
Expect a stay built around the water: swimming, fishing, boating and surfing all within easy reach, with Terrigal's restaurant scene close enough for a pre-dinner stroll home."
