Perfect location for The Bend

A great place to stay while we were down there for a car meet at The Bend, lots of secure parking, and a nice space out the back to wash cars too. Very pretty location by the water.

The property was good but it is not right by the lakeThere are around 4 flights of stairs and no facilities there. From the listing i hoped that it was going to be right on the backyard as that's why i booked thisOther than that experience was good

You obviously didn’t look at the pictures & read the description before you booked. It shows the backyard & that the river is down the stairs. There are also facilities down there. Chairs, table, kayaks etc. My advice is maybe next time research the property properly before you book.
