About this space

Tucked away just 20 minutes from Newcastle’s city centre, Lofty Hidden Paradise lives up to its name—a peaceful, elevated retreat surrounded by trees and purpose-built for creative flexibility. With high vaulted ceilings, generous outdoor zones, and ample parking, this Lake Macquarie property offers everything you need for a seamless, visually rewarding shoot day.

The central kitchen and dining area is the heart of the home, featuring expansive ceilings that open the space to abundant natural light and full lighting control. Whether you’re working with natural conditions or planning a full rig setup, the height and openness of the architecture allow maximum creative freedom. White surfaces and uncluttered interiors make it easy to shape the space to suit your visual language.

Multiple indoor and outdoor settings give you a wide range of looks from a single location. Outside, you’ll find a resort-style pool area and an undercover dining and BBQ zone—perfect for lifestyle, wellness, or fashion content. These alfresco spaces flow easily from the house, framed by greenery that creates a quiet, private backdrop ideal for both stills and video.

Inside, the home offers large, connected rooms with clear lines of sight and versatile layouts. The scale supports everything from small editorial shoots to more complex film productions, and the neutral aesthetic keeps the space adaptable for varied styling approaches.

Surrounded by trees and well away from street noise, Lofty Hidden Paradise is a location that feels immersive and secluded—without being remote. It can comfortably host up to 40 people on-site, making it equally suitable for boutique branding shoots or larger commercial projects. Onsite parking is plentiful and easy to access, reducing setup time and keeping crew movement smooth throughout the day.

If you’re looking for a shoot location in the City of Lake Macquarie that combines height, light, privacy, and flexibility, Lofty Hidden Paradise offers a clean, natural canvas just outside Newcastle.
