The price was great! we were very happy when we got there. Loved that the kayaks were available to use. we went kayaking and fishing and even managed to catch a flathead! The views were stunning and the host was extremely helpful and very quick to reply when we needed a few replacement items. Highly recommend!! :) Thankyou.
