This house is in a fantastic location. Plenty of room for our group of four adults, three children. Great kitchen dining area for getting together for meals. Plenty of hot water and good showers. Nice outside area for BBQs. Great communication with host. Thoroughly enjoyed our time, would recommend.
Great commincation from the host. Everything you need for your stay. Great location and a nice place to just chill out in. Plenty of room for 2 families to have their own space.
Tidy and spacious house. The living area coupled with an oudoor flow to the deck is great for a group. The bedrooms are all a good size with plenty of rooms to spread out. We've stayed a few times and its always good.
Ideal place for what we needed, lovely big spaces, fenced area for the dogs and plenty of space for all family members.
Short walk down to the lake front for a swim each day - couldn’t have asked for better. Thanks for a great stay
This house is amazing for big groups. Plenty of room for the grandkids who loved the space. Thank you

This wasn't ideal :( On the plus side, it's large, spacious, and in a good location. But it clearly hasn't been well maintained, to a point where our kid got pretty badly hurt falling out of the bunk bed because the side of the bed was only loosely fitted. The moment he leant against it, he came tumbling out. The various issues are minor to pretty bad - from handles on knives falling off when you use them, rain pouring through the extraction vent above the cooker, the downstairs converted garage too dusty to spend any time in, smashed/broken light bulbs with exposed glass in the kids room. This just was not okay. Sorry. it gets 2, instead of 1, because it really was spacious and a good location. But it really needs some TLC before anyone else comes to stay.
This is the second time we have stayed here, as it’s perfect for our family get togethers. We had 3x family groups accommodated with plenty of space inside, good mix of sleeping options, good kitchen and play area outside for kids. Walking distance to lake and town. We’ll be back again and would definitely recommend it to others.
Wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights. Handy to the lake. A great home for big families and groups.Host communicates super well and is easy to work with. Driveway is a little snug but has good parking.Highly recommendes
This is a large home able to accommodate large groups - we were only 6 friends but had a tonne of space. The outdoor deck is quiet and a great asset to the home. Two minute walk to lakeside was awesome
This is a great sized, low key, well set up and well located property that suits large and smaller groups alike. Just a few hundred metres from the lake and 20 mins walk to town. We love it, have been back at least once a year since we first found it in 2020.
Another fabulous break in a lovely warm dry home, walking distance to town, 500m to lake front. Comfortable, great size, low key. Nothing fancy but just what you need for a really relaxing break. It’s well equipped, clean and tidy - we’ll definitely be back - yet again!
