Perfect for a short family getaway

The property had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The kayaks were a hit with my husband and teenagers. Our host, Kate, was very accommodating with our requests. Overall, a great stay and just what we needed for that time between Christmas and the new year.

Cosy cottage lake view

The cottage is clean with all the amenities you need. The outdoor pergola area was relaxing and comfy. I loved having my coffee and meals by the patio table and stool enjoying the lake views and serentiy. Kate was a great host, prompt friendly communication.

Stunning views over the lake. A compact, well appointed, super clean house with a fantastic, spacious deck area. We used the kayaks every day and the location is a good starting point for adventures in the surrounding area.

Easter Break

We had such a great time, the house was perfect. It had everything you could possibly want, the kids went kayaking in the lake. We toasted marshmallows on the fire and the kitchen was full of equipment. One night week cooked home made Gnocchi and had a BBQ on the other. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location

We had a lovely break at this property. It was everything as described. The only feedback would be to provide heating on the decking area which is enclosed and is a great living area. The fire pit and kayaking was a hit and would definitely recommend. Kate was a great host. Very responsive to any questions.

Clean, Almost Brand New Facility, Great Location

This is one of the best places we stayed so far in Australia. View from the alfresco is superb, serene. You can have peaceful, quiet relax time overlooking the lake Hosts have spent well to make this place a great one. 2 fridges, 2 TV's, BBQ, 2+2 adults/kids Kayaks, lots of board games, puzzles... plenty to enjoy and spend your time.. Everything was clean.. even the bathroom was so nice.. All amenities are near new. Some kitchen utensils are still with original tags. Kate is a superhost, always quick to respond to any query. We requested a latecheck-out till 2pm and she generously offered us till 5pm. Thanks Kate. Time well spent.. wanted to go back surely..
