About this property

The Hideaway- a unique laid-back-lux, absolute waterfront

Welcome to The Hideaway at Bonnells—an ultra-stylish, waterfront escape where relaxed luxury meets whimsical charm. Positioned on the ground floor of the main cottage, beside a lush waterfront reserve and just steps from the shoreline, this light-filled retreat invites you to unwind beneath a canopy laced with solar fairy lights. Think barefoot afternoons on oversized outdoor lounges, dreamy water views, and a private jetty that practically begs you to dip your toes in.

Designed with couples in mind but perfect for a group getaway, The Hideaway is one of 3 luxe properties on-site, making it easy to gather with friends or family while still enjoying your own slice of serenity. With breathtaking water views from the open plan zone, alfresco setting, and bedroom, it’s more than a stay, it’s the definition of weekend getaway.

• Drop a line or dive right in from your own jetty
• Meander along leafy lakeside trails or get lost in the calm of nature just beyond the deck
