This has to be one of the best holiday homes we’ve ever stayed in. So welcoming, clean and comfortable. It was a heat wave when we arrived and the aircon had been left in for us so it was bliss walking into a cool home. Great water craft for lake activities. We are already planning another stay.

Relaxing weekend break

The property was lovely.. the views amazing! Everything in Cindy's house was well maintained, very clean and easy to find.. it was one of the most well-stocked houses we have ever stayed in. The garden is amazing to wander through and you can just watch the view for hours. We look forward to returning again in the near future.

Great lakefront holiday

We took Grandma for a lake change. Fantastic property for families. As pictured- with two king beds (comfortable), bunk beds with extra single mattresses, games, and enough room inside and plenty of room outside for good family fun. Kayaked and paddle boated the lake, swam, and sat enjoying the view. Friendly neighbours. Owner provided fantastic communication.

Beautiful inside & out

The beds were comfortable, the views were wonderful, every luxury was at our fingertips. Tried out the kayak (plenty to choose from), life jackets galore. Air conditioning best I’ve ever experienced. Would highly recommend. Everything exceptionally clean and good quality.

Outstanding

A family get together with ages 18-76 - it was just perfect. Close enough to the heart of Victor Harbor if we wanted to head in for anything or a bit of sight seeing, but the tranquility of the lake was just amazing. The house was clean and the open space living and kitchen area was put to good use with family dinners etc. The kayaks and paddle boards got a great work out. just the ease of the house and its amenities was amazing. WE ARE ALREADY PLANNING OUR NEXT STAY - THIS TIME FOR LONGER!!

Just Wonderful

If you’re looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to stay then this is a ‘must stay’ place. Situated on a lakefront with views across to the hills and direct access onto the lake for kayaking, paddle boarding or even just sitting on the jetty to while away an hour gives this property that exclusive feel. Inside the house there’s everything you need and more to make you feel like this is a home from home. I will definitely stay there again and probably again, so all I can say to Stayz users thinking about staying here is ‘don’t delay’ in booking as you’ll regret it if it’s gone. Sorry, should have mentioned the owners are great too.
