Perfect location to chill and relax with stunning sunsets over the lake.
From start to finish, there were no issues. Our hosts communicated everything we needed to know. We enjoyed the kayaks and pool table as well as the fire pit. The ducks were a bit of a nuisance, leaving a mess to clean up on the concrete. We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion in such a comfortable house, the perfect place to relax.

Perfect family getaway
The process from A to Z was smooth, perfectly equipped property catering for the whole family: Canoes Bikes Snooker WiFi Etc..... A small point to be made, I would've preferred to know in advance that the house is a duplex, hence we felt we had to be ultra quiet because we didn't want the neighbours to complain from the kids noise in the games room at night etc.... Regardless, a perfect pet free (no pets allowed) property because my kids have allergies. I WOULD BOOK AGAIN

Comfortable and nice view
I went there with my parents and three kids. Each room has its own air conditioning which is perfect for us. The kitchen has everything we need. We spend most of our time playing pool game dues to the wet weather, couldn’t enjoy the jetty and the backyard. Everything is perfect except the sound insulation isn’t very good, as upstairs bedroom can hear clearly the noice from downstair. (Except the lake view bedroom) the TV in the lake view bedroom isn’t working and the Wifi signal isn’t very stable. But I will still give it a 5 stars rating as the location and every other things are very good!

Recharge your batteries
The property was very well appointed and ticked all of the boxes. There was so much to do, the children were busy all of the time. They really enjoyed a visit from a brush tailed possum who loved our avocados. We would love to have another visit and thank you very much for a wonderful holiday

Great location
We had a wonderful stay at the house and area. Plenty of fishing at backyard and lovely fire place. Close to bottle shop and petrol station also so easy to buy the firewoods. Overall house was well maintained and good working order. We didn’t find any faults and no one whinged about anything.

Relaxing weekend in beautiful lakeside setting.
7 of us good friends came for a kayaking weekend. The location was perfect and despite the rain we got out on the lake for a short time all of the 3 days. The firepit in the evening was nice to relax around and warm tired muscles.
