So glad you and the family had such a great stay Dan. So pleased the great weather and sunsets would have helped enjoy the water, the jetty, the decks and kayaks. Hope you get the chance to get back again. Life on the Lake can be very special!
Great quiet place to stay with stunning views across the bay and beautiful sunsets I would highly recommend this house

So pleased you enjoyed your stay…. And pleased with Spring and Summer lovely weather coming, aside from beautiful sunsets guests can hopefully boat and sail and kayak as well! Lovely to have people like you that love lake life stay. Look forward to when you get the chance to come again.
The process from the first enquiry to the end of our holiday was great and easy. The house itself was perfect and had everything that we needed to keep the kids entertained. Definitely recommend for anyone to stay here.

So pleased you had a nice time Tony glad it looked like you had some of those spectacular sunsets.
The whole environment was a standout. It's such a relaxing house with everything you need to enjoy a holiday like this. All amenities were great, host was easily contactable if needed, lots of areas in the house to enjoy, lots of books, DVD,s, couches, air-conditioning, extra bedding, kayaks, BBQ's, outdoor furniture. It's truly a place to unwind.

Fiona, glad you so appreciated all the nice things about Starfish Cottage.
We love when families and friends can kayak or swim or fish or sail, or simply chill out. So nice when they enjoy the fabulous lake, the great sunsets or simply love their time together.
Thanks so much for sharing your nice stay.
Property is great. Incredible views and facilities. The sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking. Would love to stay in summer!

Allison so love that best friends and families can spend great time together catching up sharing stories watching sunsets and appreciating really what makes life … thanks for the review . Thrilled it was discuss for you ( and so pleased professional caring people like you and your friend got a chance to chill out and reset… amazing what those sunsets do to your soul isn’t it…?)

The family had a great time. The view is amazing, particularly at sunset. Close to shops.
The house was clean, great for the needs of our family. The jetty and view are lovely, especially at sunset. We went in winter which was nice, but it would be even better in the warmer months. Thanks for a great stay.

Thanks so much Davina so glad you had a lovely stay .... so glad you like the decks and the view we are especially pleased since we put the new bottom deck in . Hope you enjoyed the new paint job downstairs in the games room and lounge . I was so glad the weather was nice for you and your guests but yes the lakefront is even lovelier in summer. Hope you get the chance to visit Starfish again.

So thrilled Mark that Starfish Cottage has yet again been a special time for you and family… totally agree it’s a constant reminder of the important things in our lives… time with ones we love, being agile, enjoying the water, and hopefully getting to watch those spectacular sunsets … thanks so much for sharing.
Hope you plan to enjoy again in the future.

Love your sense of reality of what’s important in our lives Ali - so pleased you were able to enjoy the ones you love … and no doubt show them
How much you do… so very happy for you. Hope you get the chance to visit again and have soulful sunsets. Leisa
What a wonderful spot to come together with family and friends to enjoy a beautiful view, time out on the water and good old fashioned fun. Such a homey place that you won’t want to leave.
10/10. I can not fault this gorgeous house. The location is amazing. It's so quiet and safe. Perfect for a family or a friend's getaway. Super clean and the host was really lovely.
Our family of 6 stayed over the Easter long weekend and slept, ate, kayaked, fished, kayaked some more, ate whilst looking at the gorgeous view, relaxed some more, played some board games, had many competitive games of pool, checked out the local bakery and Chinese/Thai takeaways, chatted, played some cricket on the grass, kayaked across to the other side of the bay and slept some more. A very much needed break from Sydney and work and was exactly what we all needed to unwind and recharge into the new week. Thanks so much Leisa for a house well equipped with all we needed to do this!

Fiona absolutely thrilled you had such a great Easter.I was so chuffed that you and your boys were together and just adore the fact you did all those fun family active and engaging things and maximised this beautiful location. Sounds like it created some memorable moments ….Exactly why Starfish is available to charming loving families like yours.. You’re making me so happy too. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic location , relaxed holiday but needed a clean before arrival
Fantastic location and such a relaxing week.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay after slight hesitation when we first arrived as the house was not as clean as you’d expect when charged a $250 + cleaning fee and we had to do some cleaning before we could settle in.
We felt so relaxed in the house and it was the perfect location for our two families .
Kayaking on the lake was beautiful and photos of the sunsets were amazing.
We hope to return some day but I would highly recommend to stayz and the owner to find another cleaner. All past reviews mention the lack of cleanliness to the place and I have to agree.

Margaret so glad you had such a nice time and liked the house abs facilities ... and so glad you got the chance to see how special the sunsets can be. Sorry about your experience on arrival but yes we have wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and a chance for improvement for a while but ultimately yes we now have a new cleaner and reaffirmed how we expect it to be left so it complements everything rise we’ve done to make guests stay special ... ( and cleaning fee above nightly rate is $150 ....
We had a fantastic weekend getaway at this lovely house! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the amazing layout and breathtaking views that surrounded us. The open spaces created a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and family bonding.One of the highlights of our stay was the opportunity to explore the water with the boat and canoes provided. Paddling along the serene surroundings gave us a sense of tranquility and allowed us to fully appreciate the beautiful birds that flitted about — a delightful experience for nature lovers!While the house does show some signs of wear, it was undeniably comfortable and functional. Everything we needed was at our fingertips, especially in the well-equipped kitchen, which made meal preparation a breeze.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend staying at this property. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing retreat, where you can appreciate nature and enjoy quality time with loved ones. We can't wait to return!

Property tired needs some TLC
Amazing view, but that’s about where it ended for us. Driveway was flooded on arrival, two large decks covered in branches, leaves and flowers so I spent 30minutes cleaning the huge lower deck area, chairs and BBQ just so I could start relaxing at the property. Spider webs on the lounges upstairs so didn’t feel like sitting on them. Carpet old and worn.
Pool table is great. Jetty is good thou completely covered in bird poo so watch your step. Kitchen and upstairs bathroom clean and organised.
$755pn not worth staying at this property.
We stayed at a 5 bedroom house with a pool and huge games room just up the road same street that was Absolutely amazing for similar price little back from the water!
Fairly disappointing. I wouldn’t stay again

Caroline, very interesting.
Absolute waterfront, sleeps 11 people private jetty 5 kayaks plus dingy, new carpet 3 years ago, outdoor decks under trees in shade cleaned 2 days before you arrived … but yes outdoor area that most people realise do end up with leaves that naturally fall from the trees especially if it rains . But so pleased you had an absolute waterfront for 11 guests for nights at such a great price. So pleased at the spectacular sunsets, sailing. Boating, Fishing, swimming, games opportunities and so pleased so many guests over so many years have loved it and return year after year.
We had a wonderful time at the Starfish with its amazing waterfront. The kids and adults were entertained with the pool room, fun times on the kayaks and the spacious backyard. It was like home away from home. Looking forward to coming back in the future. Thank you Leisa.

Thanks Henry so much. ‘ home away from home’ couldn’t be more satisfying … we so love when guests feel so comfortable, chill out, and spend time together as a family enjoying the water, the sunsets, and all the toys. That’s exactly why we chose to share it. Special place for special family time. Love to see you back in the future.
This was our third year and it only gets better every year.
Looking forward to next year. The improvements of adding a front deck made a good difference.
