Stayed here with another family and had a lovely time. Close to Catherine Hill Bay and a short walk to the Bowlo which was great fun on Australia Day.

We found this an excellent size for 4 adults. The kitchen was well stocked and the ensuite bathroom was very handy. The over sized back deck was great.
Nice property, has all the amenities. Beds and place was clean and it was very easy for us to enjoy our stay. Lovely location aswell

Great place to stay. Very close to the lake , boat ramp, local shops and club.
We spent a lovely Easter break at the Little Blue Lake House with family. The house was very neat and clean with all the amenities required for a perfect long weekend. A large fenced in yard for our fur babies too! Everything was in walking distance, the Lake, shops and Bowling Club.

Beautiful spot in a quiet relaxing setting.
Lovely town to stay at with all amenities close by. Close to the water and also an inviting nature walk. However the house was quite small for the amount of occupants. Also we had no bins for 3 days as they were full from the last holiday makers.

A few houses down from the local boat ramp into the lake with a playground for the kids. There was bbq area at the boat ramp but also at the house. On the same street was the local shops for easy supplies and the bowls club which we want to try next time. A cosy vibe and the garden is fenced perfect for our two dogs to stay outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed roasting marshmallows on the fire pit. Loved our stay so much!

We had great time at The Little Blue Lakehouse. We loved the backyard space and lake next door. Ideal for weekend getaway for small groups.Everything is close by and convenient location. would have been nice if the house is not smeely. Recommend proper ventilation.Small hall compared to what's shown in photo.Overall we had a great time.Thank you host.
The insides of the property could have been a bit cleaner ex, toilet wasn’t flush, bbq dirty, all 3 garbage bins were already 3/4 full, not enough blanket n no internet.
Otherwise our holiday was was ok.

Our family of 6 adults, 1 toddler & 2 small dogs spent a relaxing weekend. It was a good base for us to check out the area as thinking of moving up at way. The home was immaculately clean. Kitchen well appointed. Lovely deck and plenty of seating space. Quiet peaceful location. Checkin very easy. Gardens/Lawn well maintained. Bathrooms modern but small. The 2nd bathroom is located at the back of the 4th smaller bunkhouse room which is where we put the Baby in a portacot. Ceiling fans in rooms without Aircon would be nice as would some nice body wash. Close to the Lake and nice plae to walk the dogs. Handy to the LM area.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a lovely time in Gwandalan, as the property was in great proximity to the local shops, club and water. We were however disappointed in the price, due to the u cleanliness of the home and maintenance of some items(we have pics and will forward to property management), i.e. dead cockroaches, unclean utensils in drawers and leftover food crumbs and used alcohol and dirty tray in oven upon our arrival. We also accidentally left $50 on the dining table, and no one contacted us to let us know or to offer to return this to us, which was also disappointing.

This house suited us perfectly and was nicely appointed. The location and space was great and with the lake as a backdrop, almost everything was perfect. It was really disappointing that the house didn't have wifi. My fault for not double checking but my recent experience has been that wifi is offered as standard. Maybe something to consider for a property costing over $500 per night

Place was amazingly clean. All supplies provided were close to new (especially in the kitchen). We were there on the public holiday and owner still took time to respond (prompt communication). Highly recommended.
We had amazing holiday at that house! Fresh air, beautiful nature, clean and cozy house! The house has everything we needed and even more! A tool of stuff for entertainment! We definitely recommend this place for everyone!
