Serenity now!

A wonderful relaxing stay on the lake, perfect for getting away from it all! The house is spacious and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay (we did grocery shopping in Darwin on our way to the lake). Best part was lazing on the verandah taking in the tranquility and chilling out reading a book with a glass of wine.

A very relaxing spot!

The Lake House was exactly as described but we thought the highlight of the place was the HUGE deck. Various bits of comfy furniture for sitting and lying around with HUGE open views of the lake and far shores. As holiday-makers from Adelaide, we also used it as a base to explore Litchfield NP - a much easier day trip than from Darwin. The house has everything you need - including the all-important noodles for swimming in the lake and at Litchfield! Lovely to canoe all round the large lake in the late afternoon. Highly recommended

My family have stayed at this property twice now, and we love it! Our young boys enjoy the canoes and while my partner and I enjoy a few beers on the deck. It is becoming our home away from home.

peaceful geteway.

A perfect getaway for my 50th birthday. Couldn’t have chosen a better way to celebrate. Family came out for a day trip From Darwin to share the experience. Plenty for everyone to do with canoeing and swimming ( plenty of canoes and kayaks for everyone to share with decent paddles. House was set up beautifully with little extras to make us want to come back. Waking up to the view of the water right at the doorstep was spectacular! Will definitely be back.

Perfect spot on the Lake

I’m glad we chose this bungalow, it had ample room for everyone lots space on deck and lawn area in front. I’d prefer this over the bungalows with pontoon as small area to sit outside and the sun seemed to set straight onto outdoor deck which wouldn’t be pleasant.
