HOLGATE

Holgate is a semi-rural suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales in Australia and north-east of Gosford. It is part of the Central Coast Council local government area.

Holgate is located approximately five minutes from Erina and the shopping destination "Erina Fair", and seven minutes from beaches including Terrigal beach. Local public schools and many of the Central Coast’s sought-after private schools, including Central Coast Grammar School, are all nearby.

Holgate has a lovely community public school, the much-acclaimed Bamboo Buddha café, a winery, the Matcham Valley Pony Club and other attractions including the Katandra Reserve. This reserve contains several walking trails and Seymour Lake, a recreational destination. Holgate has been the base for many suburban runners who train at the Katandra Reserve. "Katandra" is an aboriginal word meaning "Song of Birds".

Properties are mostly 2.5 acres but there are also 5 and 10-acre properties. Whether you are after peace and privacy, a beautiful outlook, plenty of open space for children to run free, room for vegetable gardens or horses, there is a property for everyone.
