Great location

Perfect location and stacks of room for our family of 13. Absolutely loved having our 2 dogs stay with us. Our only negative was the outside was unkept and the lawns fella turned up Saturday morning which was a bit intrusive. Overall though very good holiday place.

Good for a large family

Well set out for a large amount of people. Plenty of hang out spaces and bathrooms but also a large dining area for everyone to eat together. Good communication by the host. It could benefit from a deep clean though

Sibling get together @ Lily's Pad

Lily's Pad provided a great location for a sibling get together - beautiful weather, great walking tracks, lots of things to see and do. Plenty of room to stretch out and catch up with everyone on family happenings. We choose Lily's Pad as it could accommodate everyone in separate rooms and had multiple bathrooms. We would definitely recommend Lily's Pad as a getaway destination.

Perfect Location

This was a perfect location for our extended family holiday. Bike path, easy access for our canoes. Space for cricket, board games, curling up with a book. We loved (free) bare foot bowling and going to the shark & sting ray centre. An amazing experience. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and chill.

Another perfect stay

This was our 5th year staying at Lilly’s Pad for our annual weekend away and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Such a beautiful location and the house itself is very well equipped and easily copes with a large crowd.

tranquillity

This property is in a amazing setting, with beautiful vistas and glorious surroundings. As well the house is clean and tidy. It is a bit unfortunate that it is a little unloved. We arrived to an unkept back garden. The bathroom nearest the kitchen had a shower rose that would not stay up. In the end we had to devise a system that would allow us to use it. As well in the same bathroom the tap in the shower has faulty washers and dripped continually all night as it was impossible to turn the water of. In the kitchen there is a double power point hanging off the wall, which is very dangerous . Apart from this we all had a pleasant stay

Great Family weekend

We enjoyed our stay & found the location was terrific. Unfortunately the weather was against us, as it rained the whole weekend. The gutters over flowed & therefore it was hard to access any of the veranda space. The bathrooms had very slippery floors & they were quite sticky on touch as was the kitchen bench.
