Fantastic location near the main part of town, great space, comfy beds, good heating, the front bedroom was a little drafty at night. Loved the range of board games in the lounge room! Host was helpful and even gave us a bespoke tips on what attractions suited our interests. Would stay again. Thank you!

Perfect lake town house

Gillies Charm was just as expected - well stocked house with plenty of room to spread out. Very clean. The neighborhood was charming. Would recommend having a car, as the walk to town is nice once a day but beyond that too much.
