Fishing Point

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.
About Lake Macquarie
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.

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.
