The View

Yes the bed is comfortable, I found everything I needed in the kitchen, the shower has good water pressure and there were heaps of towels. BUT...THE VIEW! The property is slightly elevated from the lakeside, and directly faces the water. The entire front of the downstairs is glass, and 2 of 3 panels slide open so I spent most of my time there on the sofa, just gaping at the lake, mountains and sky. So relaxing. You wont want to leave Moana, there's a great pub, fine swimming and a couple of lovely short bush walks nearby. You'll love this little stunner!

view from the main bedroom window by day

Relaxing and enjoyable stay

Great location, but still felt like you were in the bush and isolated. The views from the upstairs bedroom were magic. House worked really well for our family group and the fire easily heated the place while it was wild and wet outside. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
