Perfect accommodation for a family with easy access to everything and the house and surrounds are lovely. Beautiful outlook straight on to the lake, and the kayaks for an early morning paddle were a bonus! Would have loved to stay longer and would book again.

Perfect
We loved our stay here so much that we extended our booking by a day just so we could enjoy that wonderful view for a bit longer! Debra the property manager was very quick to respond to this request (even though we made it quite late at night). This house is close to everything and had everything we needed, including very comfy beds!

School Holiday Fun
This property was fantastic and met all of our needs. The location and view were spectacular! A nice new kitchen made all the difference to cooking in. There were lifejackets for the kayaks and extra beach towels. A couple of folding chairs in the laundry were put to good use sitting on the private beach watching the kids in the kayaks. It was nippy at night but with a heat pump and wall heater we were toasty. Would definitely stay here again. The kids loved it!
