About this property

Selby Lakeside Cottage

This 2 bedroom cottage is a true holiday house. With beautiful views of the lake and beaches which allow the family pet within a five minute drive, water activities for all are a must.

The property has a brand new luxury bathroom with free standing bath and rain maker shower as well as a refurbished kitchen with microwave and full sized stove offering very comfortable facilities. There is a garage and plenty of room to park your boat. Pets are catered for with a large fully fenced grassed backyard.

The property has two bedrooms and can accomodate up to 4 persons comfortably.

Relax on the front verandah watching the ever changing sunsets whilst enjoying local seafood available 100 metres away.

The gas log fire is a must for those chilly winter nights. Selby Lakeside is a value for money lakeside retreat with guests returning time and time again.
