Outstanding location and super quiet. Set on an estuary with stunning views and amazing birdlife. House super well set up and very comfortable bed and furniture. Felt like home away from home. Owners delightful and very responsive. Our second stay and hope we can return in the future.
This is a lovely property. Beautiful views of the from the deck while you enjoy a drink. The family and I loved this house. Very clean and well organised. Thanks!
This was the most well-equipped rental holiday house we have stayed in. We loved the comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen, the quality appliances and watching Netflix on the TV. But most of all we loved the idyllic, picturesque setting. We loved sitting on the deck and seeing the light reflect off of the water or sitting on the private jetty and watching the sun rise over the lake. We loved the peace and quiet and watching the birds come and eat. Also short walk to beach and town..
We loved our stay. The huge deck overlooking the estuary with bush all around was bliss. We saw the kangaroos swimming across from one side to the other and at many other times opposite the house or bounding past. At night we could hear the surf. It was so peaceful. As others have mentioned, the kitchen is very well equipped. Fantastic to be able to walk from the house to the Mundooi walk. It was just the break we needed. Thanks. Hopefully we'll be back!
Had a fabulous holiday with the family. House was very clean. Provided a great kitchen with all the extras. Great view from deck, enjoyed a fish off jetty and loved the availability of a canoe. Overall great time was had. Thanks Susan.👍
A relaxing place to stay with everything our family needed. The lakeside location and canoe were appreciated, as was the convenient location, only a short walk into town with access to the boardwalk. Thanks for a lovely stay!
We really enjoyed our stay. Lakefront retreat is a quality older property with quality furnishings. The beds were really comfortable and warm. Everything is supplied to make your stay comfortable. The canoe got my 12-year-old grandson off his computer games and out on the lake. The winter sun streams through the windows and it was warm enough to enjoy the sun and views out on the deck. What I really liked was sitting on the sofa in the warm lounge and watching the sun rise over the lake.
This house had everything that we wanted and needed (including electric beaters!). The house was clean and the kitchen well stocked with plenty of plates/cooking equipment/condiments. The beds were comfortable and warm with electric blankets. The deck was glorious all throughout the day with lots of birds in the surrounding trees. Highly recommend this house and the hosts were very helpful.
Location was great for our family with young kids - easy walk to the beach and playground and into town. House was spotless and had everything we needed. Wonderful dinners out on the deck and entertainment from the bird feeder!
Great location with direct access to the back lake and a flat easy walk into town. Communication with owners was helpful, clear and prompt. We enjoyed our stay.
Thankyou after a very interesting and taxing year, this is just the retreat we required as a small family unit. I love nature and this position so central to town yet so private was truly fabulous, i have raved to my friends and will definitely return. In fact we are making our way back to Merimbula and i am checking if there has been any cancellations for our return trip to Melbourne. Thankyou Susan, Lisa
We had such a wonderful stay at this property, it's so lovely that we actually spent a lot of time there, rather than going out. Gorgeous big deck and spectacular birds to feed, a lake and canoe, what more do you need? We were all very happy during our stay, and the hosts were readily available if we had any queries. Definitely going back!
Absolutely beautiful scenery . It is a joy to sit on the balcony and feed the native birds and listen to wildlife. The home itself is very welcoming and fully equipped with most things you are likely to need during your stay . This is definitely one of the best properties we have ever stayed at . The hosts communication is always prompt and a pleasure to deal with . 10/10 . Can’t wait to come back !
