Thank you for participating in the community consultation for Awaba House.

My interest in Awaba House is extremely personal. T.A. Braye was my great grandfather.

This was a beautiful building and should be restored with definitely the facade and internally opened up into a function centre. The restaurant could be modernised . My son played the grand piano in the “house “ many years ago in a concert . The restaurant is such a beautiful place to have lunch and a great place to bring visitors.in a peaceful setting overlooking the lake and mariner. It was a great asset to Lake Macquarie .

Such a great place to show case Lake Mac! We celebrated my Mums 80th birthday there with family coming from all over NSW. It was lovely! Since then it had been our favourite place for celebrations. Lovely to be on the lake with beautiful views (without a road in front), good food and lovely grounds close to home and easy to access. Really hope it will be rebuilt.

An amphitheater on the hill could add another dimension, as... Continue reading
