Lovely location, peaceful and comfortable with enough room to spread out and space for pets to run around outside (though not fenced). Pretty view from the terrace, enjoyed the games room downstairs and access to lake with kayaks provided. Well stocked kitchen although missing oven mitts, tea towels and a working vacuum, plus BBQ needs a hotplate. No WiFi was a downer. Overall we loved it and need to return to use the fire-pit which looks great!

Great location and view, loved the fireplace

Anna was very easy to communicate with in regards to our booking and check in. The location and view are great. Its an older house but suited us fine for a large family group. The driveway was not for the faint hearted, but we managed it. The beds downstairs in the bunk room could maybe do with updated mattresses but the other beds were fine. Quite an interesting downstairs bathroom :) Just a short walk to the beach and local cafe's. Very friendly locals.

Long weekend

Yes this property has direct lake access but what isn’t shown in any of the photos is the steep stairs leading from the house down to the lake which meant some of our party couldn’t walk down to the lake. I would t have booked this property had I known this in advance. You always expect to pay more over a public holiday long weekend but I think this property is over priced for what it was which was dated. Little things like bedroom walls not going up to the ceiling would have been handy to know about as this is an issue if not all your party members go to bed at the same time. Fan didn’t work in the upstairs bedroom. Tv remote control was a bit hit and miss. Yes they are little things but when you are spending a lot of money over a public holiday weekend for a four night stay, I expected better.

Review

The house actually presented better in the photos than it did in life. However; the layout did work brilliantly for our teen children (not quite glamorous enough though, for us adults!). The outlook from indoors was picturesque. Unfortunately there was a stench coming from the lagoon which we noticed when we sat outside or swam in it. We didn’t expect this. The kayaks did somewhat redeem. For the children at least!

Wonderfully relaxing stay

A great spot with beautiful outlook. Renovated kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable, stylish, clean and tidy. Location is amazing. Only one thing to improve: two of the four on-site kayaks are missing the plugs that keep the water out. We would have brought our own, had we known. Otherwise a brilliant stay.

Lakeside getaway

We came up for a weekend away for my partners 40th, with all the borders closed this was a great distraction from everything going on in the world. The place was perfect for our group, we had our 5 month of with us and we’re able to still get her to sleep while the rest of us enjoyed dinner in the dining room. The fire pit was an amazing feature, again you couldn’t hear anyone down there from the house so it work out perfectly for our group. Such a beautiful setting, we had a great time and it was the perfect weekend away! Thank you!
