We loved our stay here. The house was warm and comfortable and just perfect for our large family group. Close to town and a lovely view of the lake. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and can highly recommend

The wayer pressure in the showers was amazing 😁House had everuthing we required..bit could jave
I booked this property for a chill weekend getaway for my sister's hens do, and wow! There were 9 of us, and we were all in awe of the beautiful house. Especially the plush carpet! Everyone slept comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked with all manner of kitchenware. Communication was great and the property manager was very accommodating. The garden was gorgeous and I love that there's a large compost bin. Lakeside views were phenomenal, would definitely come back if I ever got the chance.
An enjoyable property to stay in with plenty of bedroom options and space for everyone. Especially like the lounge and outside table to enjoy during the day or night where everyone could hang-out. With a dairy and a few other shops just across the road, it's pretty handy for anything that you need without needing a trip into town!
