Fantastic location near the main part of town, great space, comfy beds, good heating, the front bedroom was a little drafty at night. Loved the range of board games in the lounge room! Host was helpful and even gave us a bespoke tips on what attractions suited our interests. Would stay again. Thank you!

Perfect lake town house

Gillies Charm was just as expected - well stocked house with plenty of room to spread out. Very clean. The neighborhood was charming. Would recommend having a car, as the walk to town is nice once a day but beyond that too much.

We loved this property. Family with primary and secondary school aged kids, staying in July school holidays. It was clean, spacious, warm, and had all the mod cons. We found we were close to town and lake, and if we didn’t feel like going out it was really comfortable to stay in,
