Mini holiday

Very lovely home. Large spacious kitchen and lounge room. Comfy couch and beautiful wrap around porch. We will definitely recommend to family and friends. We took our dogs and they loved it too! There was a safe and secure fence that protected them from the "large bunny rabbits" aka Kangaroos haha. We would stay here again for sure! Thank you for the lovely stay! :)

Another fantastic holiday!

This property really allowed for a restful and relaxing stay. We had 5 children under five with us so the fenced off property helped put our mind at ease. Not only this the location meant it was a nice short walk to the park and shops. Jennifer and her partner were very welcoming. It was our second time staying at their property and again they were super polite, helpful and welcoming of our family. Thank you!

Relaxing retreat

We had a lovely relaxing weekend at this property. Hosts were very accommodating and the house was large and roomy. A surprise visitor on our first afternoon, a Grey Kangaroo jumped into the backyard to eat the grass. Lovely!!

Family friendly

We had a great stay here. The property has everything you could need. Took us a day to find the shortcut straight through to the beach. But it was a quick walk anyway to beach, park and small supermarket. Big kitchen with plenty of crockery and utensils, however could have done with a bigger fridge, although it was manageable. The property was generally clean, just a few areas that looked as it they hadn't been fused or wiped over for a while. Overall our stay was lovely and would recommend others to stay here too.

Lochy sojourn

Property fairly well appointed but needed a good dust and clean-up around the house, outdoor table rickety and unstable, broken and dirty chairs, cobwebs on furniture. Small fridge inadequate for a family of 8. We struggled with that. Dining table unstable, needs fixing. Also furnishings needed a good dust. Cleaners not up to scratch. Also with the ravenous mosquito problem at Loch Sport, the flywire screens needed to be more securely fitted. A couple of screens in the bedroom and the kitchen kept falling off. The house itself was roomy and comfortable. But I think the issues I mentioned should be addressed for the comfort of future visitors.

Relaxing Stay

Spacious and comfortable beach house complete with a veranda all round to enjoy the local wildlife that come to visit especially the two resident kookaburras and kangaroos. Open plan with fire place to relax after a fun day at the surf beach. Parents retreat has a comfortable bed and new en-suite. Plenty of room for kids or just a couple. Walking distance to the lake and Marina. My little dog Taco loved his stay and didn't want to leave. Highly recommend .
