Tranquil view of lake

Loved sitting on the back porch watching the water, bird life and moored yachts through the massive majestic gums growing sparingly on the extensive foreshore. The dining room had the BEST view. We had a wonderful time

Lovely Family Holiday

The property was beauitful and well equipped - and the views and fishing (right out the front) were brilliant. The beds and bedding were in perfect condition and we were impressed with the level of thought that had gone into this home. Open fire place was a lovely way to end our days.

Awesome getaway

Spent 4 nights and have not had such a good break in a long time. The house was lovely, the view out-front exceptional and Cathy/Cameron's communication were on point, with great recommendations of things to do and they were very helpful in every regard. Also the dogs loved playing fetch with sticks thrown into the lake.Highly recommended for a quiet and very comfortable getaway

Better than a 5 star hotel. Has everything you need to relax and still be in the lap of luxury. Cannot wait to come back and maybe stay a little longer next time. 😀

Wonderful Weekend Away

Thank you for a wonderful weekend away with the family, the kids loved the pool, we (parents) loved the shops across the road, very well set out and catered for families. The Kids even caught a large flat head and taylor, and were very happy with themselves. Thank you again, we all loved it!
