The pool and location were both highlights. We travelled with two couples and 4 kids so the second living area was perfect. Would definitely stay again. Easy access to walks, shops and tourist spots. Also a nice spot to hang out and relax.
House was comfortable and suitable for multigenerational family. Convenient location, loved the walkway adjacent to the house.When I did ring the agent about lack of sufficient toilet paper and cleaning cloths provided, it was quickly supplied. Also there was no shower soap in main bathroom. As a suggestion, towels suitable (they dont have to be flash) for guest use for the pool would be appreciated, as international travelers packing towels is really inconvenient.The BBQ was useful after a clean, equipment and facilities in the kitchen, dining and the rest of the house were excellent.
Beautiful home with a spectacular view of the water. The kitchen had every utensil and appliance we needed, which was a huge plus. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing stay!
The home was perfect for our family of 8, with two living areas including a lovely open plan kitchen area. The views over the lake are beatiful, with access to local amenities within minutes.
Excellent location for what we needed and the aspect at the back of the house over the canals was incredibly relaxing. Excellent comfortable furniture both inside and outdoors.
Fantastic stay with lots of facilities. Spacious house and good for a large group. Could be a little cleaner on arrival.

Thank you for your review Bec. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry you felt the home wasn't to standard, I wished you had have advised and I would have sent the cleaner back to rectify any issues. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We hope to see you back one day.
Perfect location. The house is amazing and had everything that a family needed from baby goods and toys to board games. What an incredible experience staying here and we will definitely come back to visit ,
We have had a lovely two week stay - the location on the edge of the lake, proximity to so many Sunshine Coast attractions, well equipped kitchen, spacious pool, and multiple bedrooms and living areas meant that we were able to really relax and enjoy ourselves. We would definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was great and the kitchen is very well equipped. Loved the recliners in the lounge room as well. Would happily return.
Stayed here before and will stay again when at the Sunny Coast next in the future!
Has everything you need for a short stay
