The Romantic Indulgence

Overnight Accommodation on Lake Macquarie — Sleep on a Luxury Yacht

About the Romantic Indulgence

Enamoured guests will join the boat at 3pm and start their intimate escape with a 2-hour champagne sail around the lake. At 5pm the boat will anchor in a secluded area that complements the weather. A pre-prepared menu will be provided that guests may cook themselves, or request to have their hosts cook. Once dinner is organised, the hosts will depart Spellcaster III and guests will enjoy their intimate overnight stay on board in exclusivity.

Breakfast will be provided and will be prepared by the guests at their leisure. Hosts will return to the boat at 10.30am and hoist the sails for a return to the marina as guests savour their shared moments together.

A Night You’ll Be Talking About for Years

Lake Macquarie is Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake — a vast, glittering stretch of water just 25 minutes from Newcastle CBD and an hour and a half from Sydney. Most people visit for the day. You get to wake up on it.

Spellcaster III sits quietly in her berth at the Lake Macquarie Yacht Club marina, surrounded by the sounds of boats and water. The cabins are private and comfortable, the yacht is immaculately maintained, and the whole experience has that rare quality of feeling both luxurious and genuinely alive.

It’s the kind of accommodation that makes a birthday unforgettable, an anniversary deeply romantic, or a weeknight escape feel like you’ve travelled somewhere extraordinary — without leaving New South Wales.

Perfect For:

• Couples looking for unique accommodation near Newcastle

• Anniversary and birthday getaways

• A romantic alternative to a standard Hunter Valley or Newcastle hotel

• Sydney day-trippers wanting a memorable overnight escape

• Anyone who’s ever dreamed of sleeping on the water

• Groups of friends after something completely different

• Winter escapes — Spellcaster III is fully heated

  • "A unique opportunity to stay overnight in a sailing yacht. The cabin has everything you need and was immaculately presented. We have never sailed before or been in a boat of this type so it was a fantastic novelty to experience. Our 5yr old and 2yr old were fascinated and thought it was a floating cubby house. The gentle rocking of the waves gave us all a good night sleep. However, what made the trip was Kim and Scotts warmth and hospitality. We were happy to pay a little extra to go out for a sail. Conditions were perfect, drinking mimosas with a banquet breakfast from a hammock hanging above the water, whilst gliding past islands in a warm breeze was absolutely memorable and we can't recommend it highly enough. Scott and Kim were awesome and easy to connect with, we loved learning some sailing basics and were so grateful to have some extra help with our kids. Thank you again"
