Impeccably kept modern accommodation which felt like we were staying at a 5-star resort. Kristy the host is incredibly accommodating and excellent on comms. The house is well supplied with everything you would need including pantry essentials, beach towels, pillows etc - you name it, it’s there! It’s spacious and perfect for groups or large families. I don’t think you’d ever grow sick of staring out at the view and watching the cows graze or the kangaroos move along the burnt orange horizon at sunset. We had a wonderful stay!

Gorgeous Lake House

We were a group of 8 ladies visiting the Japanese Spa House for the weekend. The Lake House had everything we needed with spacious large bedrooms & living area. Large outside entertaining area overlooking the valley. Swimming Pool & outdoor fire pit. Fabulous property for girls weekend away or family get togethers.

The photos truly do not do this lake house justice. The setting is incredibly serene and peaceful, even more beautiful in person. The house has everything you could possibly need and then some. It comfortably fit all of our family and friends, with plenty of space for everyone to relax.Kristy was also extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with, which made the stay even better. If you’re looking to escape the busy pace of everyday life, this is absolutely the place to book.One small thing to note: we didn’t expect the number of Christmas beetles that come out at night, so just something to be aware of. Overall, an amazing stay that we would happily recommend.
