Top find

This was our second stay here and we were very happy to return. The new couch just makes this place super comfy and this is our ideal bach. Very close to the part of the lake we like hang, swim, walk and cycle. The bach is dog friendly and not far from the off leash area of the lake (3 Mile Bay). It is spacious with bedrooms upstairs and downstairs too.

Great home for time together... and apart

8 adults, 2 kids - Clean home, well set up - long weekend was full of shared kai in well stocked kitchen and dining areas. Smaller groups of us chilled out on 2 seperate small decks. Room separations allowed for recharging time. A short car ride to eateries, markets, sky diving and lake activities. Great house, great location.

Pencarow Lodge

The location is great and suited our group well in terms of size, especially the lounge area. The top bunk bed is only suitable for children as the ladder is very close to the wall. Also, only 2 and a bit rolls of toilet paper were supplied for 11 people.
