I understand that your review score may have been influenced by the fact that my cleaner arrived before you had checked out. My standard check-out time is 10:00am, although I’m always happy to offer a later check-out where the schedule allows. On this occasion, an 11:00am check-out was agreed, and I had also mentioned that my cleaner would be arriving around that time. The cleaner arrived at approximately 11:15am allowing her enough time to prepare the property for the next guests arriving at 1:00pm. I completely understand that you and your guests were enjoying a sleep-in, and I appreciate that having the cleaner arrive while you were still enjoying the property was not the most comfortable way to finish your stay. I’m sorry if you felt rushed or inconvenienced as you packed up and left. My intention is always for guests to have a relaxed and enjoyable experience, while also making sure the property is properly prepared for the next guests.

We were very impressed with this stay, as it was clear that the host goes above and beyond to ensure a quality experience. The house had a characterful charm, private, quiet and was well equipped throughout. There was no stinginess, it was very generous with extras - and the views just spectacular!!We highly recommend this property and will be returning.

The incredible views and beautiful location made our family holiday such a special experience. The location couldn’t have been better, providing the perfect setting to relax and enjoy some quality family time.My only suggestions would be to have the heater/split system serviced, or perhaps provide an additional way to warm the bedrooms during the cooler months. It would also be great to have a little extra timber provided for longer stays.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again.

Thanks for your review, very glad you enjoyed your stay, particularly the location and the views. Thanks for your suggestions, we have cleaned the split system filters and will arrange for portable heaters for the bedrooms. My apologies regarding the firewood, we have been trying out different ways to supply firewood to our guests and it was an oversight that we did not advise you that more wood was available to you given your longer stay. We will fine tune this moving forward.

We recently stayed at this beautiful waterfront property in Taylor's Bay, and it was every bit as stunning as we'd hoped. From the moment we arrived, the views across the water took our breath away. Morning coffee looking out over the bay and relaxed evenings watching the light change on the water quickly became the highlights of our trip.What made the stay really special was the warm, homely feel of the place. It felt like a real home rather than a rental, and the whole family settled in straight away. It was easy to relax, switch off and enjoy each other's company.It's the perfect spot to unwind and spend quality time together. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and we left feeling refreshed.If you're after a beautiful waterfront getaway with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, we can't recommend this property highly enough. Thank you for having us!

We spent a wonderful time staying at this cozy home. Amazing views, easy access to the lake, well stock kitchen, plenty of board games to play with, comfortable beds, quick drive to town. Loved relaxing by the deck and were grateful we were able to bring our little dog.

Awesome location, great views. Grab a book and relax in the hammock. Great house for a family or friends catch up. We loved the morning coffees and afternoon bubbles on the deck. Dogs loved hanging out on the deck and sniffs around the lake.

We had a great stay! The property had everything we needed and was very easy to access and communicate with owners .The drive up was a little steep, but totally worth it for the beautiful views once you arrive. It was so nice to sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet, with the added bonus of hearing the local wildlife and birds. A really lovely spot for a relaxing getaway. Thank you Paula .

Great stay, the house is in an amazing location and was really relaxing and peaceful. The house has everything we needed and is really well equipped. The kids loved the bird feeder and sitting out on the deck watching all the different birds. There's lots of games which we loved and we all, including the dog, felt right at home. The lake itself is lovely although it was a bit dirty trying to get out without the use of a jetty/pier as stated in the house rules not to use them. It was quite slippery on the mud for our little ones so might be good to have an option to use to get out onto the water. Overall though really enjoyed the stay
