The set-up was great; the hosts provided plenty of information so arriving and leaving the property felt really seamless; the amenities were plentiful and the location was beautiful.
Peaceful and quite, stunning views of the lake and there’s everything you need for a relaxing weekend away right at the house! Loved my girls weekend away and can’t wait to book again!

I am so glad you enjoyed your girls weekend away! We would love to host you again in future!
My mates and I had an awesome weekend here. We became buddies with the rental next door which helped with our experience and everything was exactly as listed and better.
Thanks for having us and we will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

The BBQ was not very clean, it looks like rats may be able to access the BBQ plate - we certainly left it in a much cleaner state on departure
Generally we enjoyed our stay

Moogerah Stay
Location was excellent with views over the lake.
The house accommodated 6 adults comfortably and the kitchen had everything you need for a cook up.
Due to the weather we didn't get a chance to use the outdoor area but the fire pit looked like a great area to site around with a wine...or two.
Feedback for the owner. The vacuum cleaner wasn't working so you might need to get that looked at.

Hi John
We are disappointed you have only left us a 3 star review.
We do not offer wifi or internet on our listing nor do we say we provide DVDs for your viewing, just that there is a DVD player at the House.
I am sorry about the Power cuts, I would be interested to hear more about these as you didn't mention anything to us before this review.
Please feel free to email me moogerahlakehouse@gmail.com to discuss further.
Thank you
Jess

Great sky views with minor issues
Overall, we have had a relaxing time with the Lake Moogerah & mountain view from dining table, and got to see the beautiful stars on both nights.
However, we were unable to used the spa as the heater did not work and no one was available to visit to fix it. Also, we had to avoid using the BBQ as we smelt gas leakage from them connector.
Overall, the house was clean, neat and well equipped. Outdoor sofa, table and chairs were dusty and we wiped couple of times before using them. Fire-pit and sauna kept us warm and relaxed.
Although there were plenty of dishwashing tablets, detergent tablets, coffee capsules to use, shampoo and conditioner were not there. Fortunately. the petrol station nearby had them, Yay!! Also. there was an iconic Lake Moogerah Cafe in a waling distance and a yummy ice- cream.
Despite that there was a little delay, we have received responses from owners within 3-4 hours.
We can recommend this accomodation to any family who would love to visit Lake Moogerah for relaxing as long as they are fine without spa during winter. 😉
Thanks again for the informative instruction and welcoming setup.
The house was larger than I expected from the photos with good sized rooms for the family.
The kitchen needs a few salad bowls and cooking utensils. BBQ and fire pit area is great.
Overall we had a great week enjoying the peaceful surrounds with bush walks and jet skiing on the lake.
