Thank you Mark we are glad you all enjoyed yourselves
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Key amenities were dock where we could moor our boat, outdoor fireplace and grill. Property was easy to access and our host Susie was very responsive at time of check-in and check-out. Look forward to staying again. Our family loved it. Justin
Awesome house & location, perfect for our family & friends weekend of sunshine & boating to celebrate a milestone birthday! It ticked all the boxes we needed.
Communication with the owners was excellent, definitely recommend this property especially for water or boating enthusiasts!!
Amazing house for our group of 3 families, in a spectacular setting. Everything we could need.
Fishing, skiing,swimming and relaxing.
The owner Susie was great. Thankyou
To start with Susie was great to deal with and very accommodating.
The house was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed. My in-laws loved sitting on the deck watching their grandchildren having a blast on the slide on the day boat
Susie was very helpful planning the holiday and tips for the local area. We were advised that the driveway is steep. We found that it is too steep for towing a boat or trailer up or down the driveway unless you have a 4WD vehicle, even then extreme care is required. Apart from that challenge we had a terrific weekend.
Susie was an excellent host. Property is fantastic for extended family, especially for boating and skiing enthusiasts with your ski boat moored at bottom.
Property was very well equipped!
Thanks for a fabulous stay 👏👏👏
Fantastic location and great host. Use of pontoon boat with Waterslide was a hit with kids and adults . Great spot to leave boats in water overnight. Outdoor area is fantastic
The property is full of wonderful views, was very clean, has 14 beds, 2 bathrooms and one powder room. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could think of saucepans, dishes, 3 fridges, coffee machine, Ice machine, etc.
The meals and common areas were spacious enough for our large group, 2 TV's one in the common area and one in the master bedroom there was DVD’s, games for the kids and toys for the baby’s.
Alfresco area is well setup with the fabulous view, with a separate BBQ a and a cooking area. You could also see birds in the alfresco.
The boat is an added bonus where you could have a picnic and could use the slide on the top deck to slide into the lake, the boat had life vest and pool noodle for the safety of the kids. The kids easily spent a day in the water.
The road to the property has a steep fall and it adds to the excitement of the place, the property is only approximately 15mins from the Eildon town centre and 25mins to Snobs creek Falls.
Susie was a pleasure to communicate with and very accommodating.
We were very comfortable here for the long weekend. The kitchen was well set up for our group of 12. Refreshing to have enough pots, trays, glasses etc. We have stayed at lots of places that accommodate 12 but not in the kitchen. The walk down to the boat was okay and it was nice to be able to use the houseboat to swim off etc. Sussan was lovely to deal with. We were advised beforehand on the very steep long driveway down to the property which was appreciated.
This property was fantastic for our family getaway. The kids loved the day boat/pontoon, perfect to fish from or go for a swim. The entertaining area outside with its large bbq and ice machine and fireplace is perfect to relax and have a drink. Overall the house is clean and tidy and has some great features, we really enjoyed our stay.
