Shuck & Shell

Barrington Coast Sustainable Seafood Festival

The Moorings Lakehouse hosted the inaugural Shuck & Shell: Barrington Coast Sustainable Seafood Festival on Saturday 11th Jan'25. The feed back from attendees was heart warming. We are excited to be hosting this provincial seafood festival annually and celebrating the produce and fishermen of Wallis Lake.

Est 2008, Designed with Love

The property is designed to harness the therapeutic properties of nature. Rolling ornate gardens, food forests and organic veggie gardens connect the accommodations. Handpick fresh salad leaves from our organic vegetable garden, dig up a golden tuber of turmeric or maybe find a ripe jewel in one of our orchards. At The Moorings Lakehouse, nature's bounty becomes a part of your wellness journey.


The property’s architecture is inspired by the colours of the jetty with greying antique timber beams, white weather boards and flashes of oyster encrusted sandstone. Every corner reveals breathtaking views, inviting you to unwind and find solace in the beauty that surrounds you.


Permaculture principles have guided all design ideas over the last 15 years. Permaculture's guiding philosophy is to retain energy inputs within the system, including water, light, soil nutrients and above all else human engagement. How do you harness human energy best? By making everything beautiful! You can design as best you can in 2 dimensions however the real beauty happens when nature takes over in the 3rd dimension, when over lapping canopies are established, garden microcosms develop, frogs, blue tongue lizards and wallabies move in, magic happens.


Experience a balance of sustainable living through our commitment to organic practices, energy sustainability and water conservation creating an eco-friendly haven that nurtures both the earth and your wellbeing. Escape to The Moorings Lakehouse, where health, wellbeing and relaxation intertwine in perfect harmony. Welcome to a world of indulgence driven by grounding principles, where nature's embrace rejuvenates your mind, body, and soul.

The Moorings Lakehouse is truly a garden of Eden. The love and care dedicated to creating this wonderful property is a testament to it's custodian's love and devotion to this land. We saw dolphins swim by the jetty, eagles gliding above the lake, we ate our lunch from the gardens and wished we could have moved in permanently.

Ilan Kidron, Sydney Australia.

I was very surprised to find a NSW property on acreage with a deep waterfront. At times it felt like we were at Lake Como with the magnificent views. Day trips to the local beaches were lovely but returning home to our converted barn felt like we were coming home. Can't wait to return soon.

Jamie Power, Tintenbar, NSW, Australia.

We had no idea this beautiful slice of the Mid North Coast existed. Forget about Byron Bay with it's hoards of tourists, our go to destination from now on is Wallis Lake and our favourite new second home The Moorings.

Lara Kline, Sydney, Australia

Organic veggies from the garden, sublime views from our front deck, soaking in our outdoor bath, wonderful sauna sessions with an incredible view. Looking forward to bringing the extended family back and renting the whole property next time for our anniversary.

Located right on the water with a very safe jetty. Outdoor spa to die for and so many seating, eating and outdoor entertainment option's. Outdoor fire pits located everywhere to enjoy of an evening. Accommodation very high end. Top quality furnishings and very well equipped kitchens in each villa. Bed's so comfortable that you could spend your whole stay in them. Highly recommend this property to anyone and will definitely return again. Property manager David very helpful and always on call if any problems arise. Definitely a top quality location with high end facilities.

Our stay at the Lakefront Villa exceed all expectations. The Villa is really well finished and well thought out to cater for your every need. Communication with our host David was excellent, any question or request was immediately responded to. But the star of the show has to be the location and the magnificent the views. Whether it’s from the deck, the sauna, the jetty, the water, or just about anywhere on the property, the views are incredible. We were lucky enough the see dolphins too, which was just the icing on the cake. What an amazing place, can’t wait to return.

My family and I stayed at The Moorings Lakhouse. Nothing short of AMAZING. Magnificent place. The property was warm, cosy, clean and fresh. The organic vegetable garden is divine. We picked and made the most delicious salad we’ve had in a long time. The private jetty was cool and the sauna is GREAT! The outdoor bath to relax in nature then down to the sauna, it was very refreshing and relaxing. Also pretty private. The chickens were friendly and the kids highlight was going to find eggs! Fruit picking was fun with the kids too and the fruit is delicious. There was a friendly dog named Lily and some cows and horses at the front of the property we seen a few times too the kids had an absolutely wonderful time as did us adults. So many wonderful memories. Wish we could have stayed longer and will certainly be back. Also worthy of a good review is David. Before I booked I had some questions and he was pleasant and prompt to respond. He made sure we were settled in and was there for anything we needed. Wonderful property, wonderful people. You will not be disappointed to stay here. Highly recommend!!! 10/10 5 Star ⭐️ Magnificent!

Such a goodie only a few hours drive from Sydney. Very happy and will be back asap 😍

Pristine!!! 5 Star!! Attention to Detail!! Unique!

Just a few works to sum up our experience at The Moorings Lakehouse. I recently took my team of 10 ppl to a 3 day team building retreat hosted at The Moorings.The moment the team step foot on the property they were blown away. "Total Zen" was one team members response. The surrounds and lake front environment lent it self so perfectly to the objective of the event. Not just from the moment we arrived, but in the lead up to organising all the details for the event, David and his team were across everything, focusing on every detail in the lead up but also during the 3 days to make sure the experience was 5 star all the way. From gourmet meals served at breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as afternoon and morning tea hosted at different parts of the property. To round out the workshops and team building elements he worked with me to arrange and provide really great options for team activities, like morning yoga & Ice bath/Sauna which the team absolutely loved. We also did a tour of the garden where David weaved themes of permaculture and natures ecosystem in to the themes of our team building activities. After 3 days we left feeling nourished - in mind, body and soul - and I walked away with a refreshed and reinvigorated team ready to tackle the year ahead. I can't thank David and his team enough for this, it was truly invaluable.

We booked two nights at the Villa and Barn for 11 people over the weekend. The facilities were beyond expectations - even better than in the photos. Everything was extremely clean, all beds were very comfy and the kitchens in both locations were fully equipped with high end appliances. The sauna worked really well and we really enjoyed the view of the lake from the sauna window, especially as the sun was setting. Exploring the stunning gardens, orchards and the lakefront was a real highlight of the trip. And if it already looked beautiful during the day, the views of the stars and milky way during the night are not to be missed. The service was 5 stars from the moment we booked - all the instructions were very clear and the host met the needs of our large group.

We will definitely be returning at some stage in the future.

Jessica Cade

We had a lovely family getaway in the tranquil haven of the Moorings Lakehouse.

It’s difficult to put into words how beautiful and peaceful this location is right on the lake.

We stayed in the lakefront villa which is fully equipped with everything you need for a luxurious stay.

The kids were beyond excited to collect fresh eggs every morning and raid the vegetable garden for potatoes they couldn’t get enough of, so generous of the owner to share this and the beautiful fruit orchards with guests. Evenings were spent in the sauna followed by barbecues and roasted marshmallows sitting around the fire pit.

Highly recommend this little piece of heaven and can’t wait to return with family and friends.


Karyn Bushnell

What a wonderful place to stay. The communication prior to our arrival was so appreciated and I knew that our time here would be memorable. We stayed in the barn and it was fantastic and there was nothing left to chance. What a great experience and the attention to detail was next level. Thank you so much we will definitely be back. We all loved it.
