The perfect place to relax with the family

Clayton Bay Cottage is perfect for a relaxing stay. The house is lovely, so clean and everything has been thought of, kitchen has everything you need.The kids loved the back deck and having breakfast over looking the lake (we even got to watch the paddle steamer) and doing soem puzzles. Great place to stay and relax before going back to school. We will visit again.

Wonderfully peaceful location

Comfortable property in great location. Lots to do, or lovely place to stay at home and relax. Front verandah for breakfast in the sun and back verandah for view of the sunset! Secure back garden area for pets/children. Cafe a few steps down the road for relaxed meal or lots to explore a short drive away.

Immaculate presentation

This cottage is absolutely gorgeous! Stocked with everything you can think of and then so many things you wouldn't have dreamt of too. The beds are so comfortable, bathrooms spotless and the front and rear decks are furnished luxuriously. The back deck with gorgeous views of the sunset over the river, then add in the huge fire pit in the rear yard and you won't want to leave. I know I didn't want to leave

The cottage was amazing...neat and tidy and decor tastefully done . Robyn And Terry were verry accommodating hosts and made checking in and out easy and simple. everything needed for a holiday was there but a bit disappointing to find no cupboard space for food supplies. back lawn in places was in need of cut. but overall a great place to rent for a holiday. wd come again. was expecting a deli to be operating in the town but there is nothing there now. our last stay here there was a small Cafe/takeaway.

Great stay at Clayton Bay

The property was well set up, didn't want for anything. The mosquitos at front door were the only downer - maybe a flyscreen door on the front would help. We'd like to come back another time 😊

Fantastic place to place stay

My partner, children and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was nice to walk out to the back doors and be welcomed to the fantastic view of the lake every morning. It has a great layout and plenty of space for a family of 5 to relax too. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you for having us.

An amazing real home away from home in a beautifully loved property

A beautifully real property with amazing wooden furniture, fire place and gardens. The view from the deck is spectacular. I spent hours pouring over the maps in the study. It’s like staying at a good friend’s house who makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend the cafe for both the food and the people. Top little community spot.
