Property was clean and tidy. The bed we slept in comfortable. The view's are spectacular and we had visits from wattle birds, kookaburras, rosella's and a wombat. We experienced all types of weather over the week we were there whatever the weather the views were wonderful and the experience comfortable.

Views were amazing with beautiful sunsets over the Lake and starry evening skies. Walking distance to everything. Bed was very comfortable. Pet friendly but no large fenced yard. Deck and small side fenced area was sufficient. We all had a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

Very basic property with beautiful views. Not very pet friendly because the only fenced area was a very tiny area, not big enough for medium sized dogs. Very few amenities, would be lovely in Summer not so much if the weather is bad.

Our stay at Lakescapes Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay here. The location and views were amazing and the property very comfortable. As per other reviews, the combined living/dining/kitchen is quite small. I couldn’t image it with four guests and suggest the owner turns the twin bedroom into a living room, which would make it a great stay for a couple.

It’s a quick walk into town but the expansive views and more importantly the breathtaking sunsets from the balcony were truly amazing. The cottage had everything you need and we loved our stay here.

Best view review

We couldn’t have had a better view than what this house provides of beautiful Lake King. It took us a little while to adjust to how small this house is but once we did we fully appreciated the limited housework and beach vibe that came with it. Also very comfortable bedding and recliner couch. Our dogs joined us and lovely safe property except grass was very long when we arrived and with snake season this was a concern however it was cut on the 7th day we were there. We stayed 10 nights and feel recharged and ready for the year ahead.

Everything’s been provided, the house and block are kept in immaculate condition and all there’s little left to do than enjoy. We celebrated our 15 year anniversary and loved being able to take our Spoodle with us. Metung is such a stunning place, we left feeling so grateful to our host.
