Lake Forest felt like a home away from home. From the moment you step foot on the property you feel the everyday stress leave and that's before relaxing in the spa. The property was neat and tidy the views of the lake were Awesome. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing place for a holiday or even a weekend..

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Nathan on arrival, however our communication during their stay was great. I had concerns that the wifi access and power may have been interrupted by strong windy weather , Nathan's quick and friendly response was reassuring that all was fine. I have no hesitation in recommending Nathan and his family to other hosts as they took great care of the property leaving it very clean and tidy.

We enjoyed the the fact that the host had thought of the small things to make our stay extra fantastic. Made some bread in the breadmaker, enjoyed the caffee maxhine and even the winter Kayak just few meters from the lake!!!!!! Highly recommend the lake escape and Rechelle as a host!!!!! 10/10
