Breakaway !!

Well located property….plenty of space and opposite the lake…only 15 minutes to the beaches…very calming place. I think an outside area, at the back yard would be an asset…elsewise all fine

Beautiful quiet location

We enjoyed our stay at Cockleshells by the lake, it's a nice little house in a beautiful location with great swimming and fishing right across the road. The house had all the basics such as kitchenware, washing machine, fans etc. beds were comfortable. There was also tv, DVD, radio/cd player, toaster, microwave etc. The house was clean, as was the BBQ on the front verandah. My only criticism would be that the air conditioning did not work properly. Luckily we only needed it one day but it did nothing to cool any part of the house. I would recommend taking a big supply of groceries as the closest supermarket is at least 30mins drive away and don't forget the insect repellent - mosquitos were bad! Overall a cosy, comfortable stay.

Nice home in a great location

The house is located close to the lake. Very peaceful and quiet, yet not far from amenities. The host was easy to contact. I highly recommend this holiday home.

Quiet spot

The property needed some updating but was very clean and well equipped. It would benefit from air conditioning in the 3 bedrooms. Although the location was very nice, being across the road from the lake, Coomba Park is a bit too far from civilisation for us!

Lovely lake stay

We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful home in a quiet town with direct lake access, and an easy 20-30 minute drive to ocean beaches (including dog friendly). Home is clean and modern, and communication with Yvonne was easy!

Great little place in a great location. Central to everything.

This was a great place to stay with our dog. The place was clean and well equip, close to a great little park for the kids with BBQ area and shade. Our dog enjoyed the fully fenced backyard. Having a bath to wash kids was a bonus. We had a great stay and would recommend.
