Very good

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.

its a simple old house but its cozy and warm with magnificent views, good hot water for shower and some nice local coffee and honey for us to enjoy when we arrived. location atop the hill and a short 3min drive into town or a nice waters edge walk for about 20 minutes. pet friendly was nice too although the yard for the dog was quite small but adequate

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.

Beautiful views
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.

We loved staying in this incredibly clean and inviting cottage. From the amazing views from the balcony , the well appointed red kitchen area to the comfortable beds, we truly loved our stay here. 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.

We were blown away by the location and consideration that’s gone into this property. 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.

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.

Thanks for your feedback - we would love to host you again
Wonderful little cottage with amazing views. The balcony was secured and the large front yard was enjoyed by our little jack Russell. More than enough room to park our large boat. Comfortable master bed, good shower and laundry facilities. The kitchen has good amenities, with everything you need. The neighbour was friendly and helpful. We definitely want to come back. Thank you Carolyn for the easy, no worries check in process. Regards Shauna, Steve and little Tommy🐾

Great location, would not recommend accommodating more than 2 people. Living space very small yet can sleep 4 people. Bathroom was clean but needs an update. Half a roll of loo paper is not going to cut it for a 4 night stay.
Beds comfy, view beautiful but back deck and furniture old.
