Great spot

2 minutes from the boatramp, solid parking out front, public jetty and private jetty all to yourself pretty much. House itself is pretty old but comfortable with a great view from the balcony.

Lakeside Holiday

This was the perfect place for our 30th Anniversary. We took our double kayak and our fishing gear and had a great relaxing long weekend. The house was beautifully located on the waters edge and had plenty of room for our kids and grandkids when they came to visit.

Amazing location by the lake

Had a lovely stay, the location and vista of this property is superb. It definitely feels like a family holiday home which we didn’t mind as it had everything we needed: kitchen equipment, books, board games, DVDs, retro furnishings 🙂. It’s clean and tidy with plenty of space for a family. We will definitely come again soon.

Property well described, not flash but doesn’t matter as it has everything you need. A lot of stairs but that gives you a good leg workout. Sitting on the deck overlooking the lake was so relaxing.
