A lovely, quiet, retreat with everything you need.
Warm and cosy, backs onto woodlands near the lake which you can access easily from property. Great for walks and anyone who loves a bit of privacy and long walks.

I don’t actually want to tell everyone how good this property and property manager are because when I go back to Mt Gambier it will be booked out.
No only joking this was a fantastic stay and I really enjoyed it.
Very very clean and a great location.
Thoroughly recommend this property.
