About this property

something a little bit different

A modern spacious home set in a scenic reserve. Short walk to town and lake front. Views of the river. Upstairs mezzanine is a master bedroom with ensuite (and bath). Downstairs two fully enclosed bedrooms are off a large open area and separate shower/toilet room. In the open area there are 2 single beds and room for a further rollaway, if required. We have a king bed option for this area available upon request. There is parking for 2 cars in double garage under the house and on the lawn for boats or trailers etc. Although close to town, the house is situated at the end of a no-through road and is quiet and tucked away.
Views of the river can be seen from the lounge and upstairs bedroom, as well as from outside on the balcony. You can enjoy the river for swimming, kayaking and fishing, as well as a central location to town.
This well appointed modern home has all the amenities for a relaxing holiday with family or friends.

Great place and location
A great place to stay, quiet, relaxing, clean, well maintained and great for a family. A nice open layout and high ceilings (downside is you can hear everything, especially from the mezzanine) Beds are comfortable. The 5 min walk to town is very convenient. FYI...there is no WiFi (for those folks that may have to work on holiday, hopefully not) Important: the pathway to get to town is accessed through the driveway of the house below this one. The only way we knew this was because we saw people use it. I would definitely stay here again.

Good location, close to town, however I was not satisfied with the house itself.
Good location, close to town, however I was not satisfied with the house itself. It was advertised as a 4 bedroom house plus an open area with 2 single beds but the house only has 3 bedrooms plus the open area with beds. The house was not very clean even though you are required to pay a cleaning fee at the end of your stay.

The location of the property is fabulous.
The location of the property is fabulous. Outlook over the river is gorgeous. The property worked very well for a stay with extended family and young children.
