PSA. Beautiful cottage and location but unfortunately also a haven for ticks. The grounds are rustic but untidy and not sprayed for nasties. One of us got a tick bite on the scalp from a brush against a tree on our first morning. When we decided to leave, Craig decided not to refund our unused 14 nights. It was a huge shame, because it is a beautiful spot where we would have been really happy with our dog for two weeks.

Just perfect

Stunning and serene. Quiet, private, beautiful little cottage on the lake. Cooking dinner on the BBQ overlooking the water and wildlife was wonderful. The birds sing during the day, and all different kinds of frogs call at night. The boardwalk is so much fun, I wish it went all the way around the lake. Next time we will take out the row boat. I regret not staying longer. So glad we could take the dogs along too! Can’t wait to go back. Do yourself a favour and stay here

Stunning getaway!!

We stayed at one of the cottages right on the lake with our two kelpies. The view, the lake, the pool and the cottage itself was absolutely gorgeous. Great food and awesome places to see and walk only minutes away. Joanne and Norm fantastic hosts. We will stay again. Highly recommend. Thank you again guys. See you soon.

Photos don't do it justice

We had a lovely cosy stay. The photos on the website don't do the size, location and features of this place justice. The position of the house on the lake is spectacular with a full wall of glass letting in the light and view over the lake and across to the mountains. The house is very well sealed so it was warm on the windy winter nights and the fire place was cosy and efficient. The kitchen could do with a few extra elements and bits of cutlery, but the pizza oven over at the main house was great and Norman and his partner looked after us very nicely. There's also plenty to do for the family with the tennis court, sauna, walks and taking a canoe for a paddle on the lake. A lovely place - we'll be back.

Amazing spot

This is paradise! So close to Brisbane city but so far away from Brisbane city! Beautiful peaceful place. Awesome pool, kayaks, boardwalk and the shopping village just down the road. Really accommodation management here too. Thank you! We will be back for sure. 😊
