Fishing Point

21.8 km south-west of Newcastle city centreCity of Lake Macquarie41 min to Blacksmiths Beach0 min to Lake Macquarienext to Wangi Wangi and Arcadia Vale

Aptly named point on the western shore popular with, well, fishing enthusiasts. Genuine lakefront at accessible prices. Small community with boat ramp access and a pace of life that's deliberately slow.

Lake Mac is where Newcastle people move when they want space, water, and a slower clock. The vibe is family-friendly, boat-friendly, retirement-friendly.

Price trajectory

House prices here split rather than cluster. The middle half of sales ran $905k to $1.9M, across 31 sales in the 12 months to May 2026. A single median would land between the two groups, on a price almost nothing sold for.

Those risks are suburb-wide. Yours might not be.
