We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was clean and well supplied with essentials. Lots of activities for both children and adults. Very restful ambience looking out onto the dam.
Outstanding property that is perfect for big family events or getting a bunch of mates together. We planned lots of trips to the beach, restaurants, etc.. but cancelled all that once we got there because we did not want to leave. The lagoon is better than any beach, river, lake you can visit with no other public ! The kitchen is huge so we took turns cooking. I have never stayed in a place with some much to do and so much room to do it. We had an infant of 5 weeks, kids from 10-16, Adults in their 30's, 50's, 60's and 70's and all loved it. Pool Table, Dart Board, Table Tennis, Full Gym, Hot Spa, Awesome swimming. It really had it all. We had great weather but we kind of wished it was cold and wet so we could use the fire place. Will have to go back in winter. Highly recommend this place, the pictures don't do it justice.
Brilliant accomodation, wonderful group stay destination
Fantastic place to stay with a large group. Spacious and clean accomodation. So much fun for the whole family, no need to leave the accomodation at all.
the house and property was amazing. outdoor space and lagoon were a huge draw card and we spent most of the time outside in this area. could not recommend the property any higher
Fabulous house to share with large families or group of friends
The photos dont do the house justice. Very spacious and clean. No need to go anywhere - everything you need for an enjoyable break is right there at the house.
This property is as good as it looks and sounds in the online listing.
We had a fantastic stay - with three families easily staying together and having plenty of room to enjoy our time together.
We would definitely recommend it as a place to stay if you are heading to the Island.
Best house I’ve ever stayed at. Our dogs absolutely loved the grounds and the house itself was also wonderful, truly amazing. The property managers were also very efficient and prompt in responding when I wasn’t able to enter with the code. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We will be back!
We loved everything about the property and had a fabulous family weekend.

When it turns out better than expected - and we expected a lot!
Firstly, the photos on the website make the place look amazing. Surprise surprise - it is every bit amazing. And then there's everything that's not in the photos.
Secondly, when the detail like the windows being perfectly clean, firewood is stacked next to the fire, everything works...
In summary, if you like what you see on the website, you couldn't possibly be unhappy with the experience.

Husky and human heaven
9 adults and 4 huskies and we still had plenty of space for people/dogs to have their own space. We loved it again and will be back.
Sam and Andy are fabulous hosts.

We love it and so did our huskies
Fabulous house for a small or large group and also great space for our dogs. We have 2 siberian huskies so finding houses that are truly escape proof for bigger dogs are hard to come by. Our huskies were mesmerised by the ducks on the dam.
Sam and Andy are terrific hosts. We returned home and booked our next trip in March next year.
