In the cooler months, unwind by the indoor fireplace with a glass of wine or a good book, or settle in for a movie night with Netflix on the smart TV.

The kitchen includes a breakfast bar with stools — perfect for casual meals or a morning coffee — and is fully equipped for cooking and entertaining, with:

Cookware, serving ware, and utensils

Whether you're cooking for the whole crew or just laying out a platter for sunset drinks, everything you need is ready to go.

The adjoining living and dining area features comfortable lounges, a fireplace for cool winter nights, a smart TV with streaming services, and a big dining table — perfect for shared meals, board games or catching up over wine.

There’s also a separate games room with a ¾ size pool table, second TV, board games, and space to relax — ideal for teens or anyone needing a little downtime.

The house has super fast WiFi, quality linen and towels, and thoughtful touches throughout to make settling in easy.

Outdoor Living
Step out onto a huge entertaining deck with an extendable awning, perfect for all-weather lounging. There’s a BBQ, outdoor dining area, and views straight across the lake.

The private pool (not heated) is ideal for hot summer days, and the grassy lawn that leads directly to the lake is a favourite for families — whether you’re kicking a ball, watching the kids paddle, or enjoying sunset drinks by the water’s edge. The lake is full of life, from pelicans and black swans to kite surfers and sailboats on windy days.

All-Season Getaway
This is a true year-round retreat. In summer, it’s all about pool days, beach trips, BBQ dinners and lake paddles. In winter, the mood shifts: slow mornings with coffee by the fire, long lunches with a view, warm blankets, red wine, and that sense of calm that only comes with being near water.

This house blends the feel of a relaxed beach house with the comfort of a warm, inviting family home — making it a perfect escape, no matter the season.
