Relaxing weekend in beautiful lakeside setting.
7 of us good friends came for a kayaking weekend. The location was perfect and despite the rain we got out on the lake for a short time all of the 3 days. The firepit in the evening was nice to relax around and warm tired muscles.

Perfect location to chill and relax with stunning sunsets over the lake.
From start to finish, there were no issues. Our hosts communicated everything we needed to know. We enjoyed the kayaks and pool table as well as the fire pit. The ducks were a bit of a nuisance, leaving a mess to clean up on the concrete. We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion in such a comfortable house, the perfect place to relax.

Little gem for young & old
We stayed for 4 nights with our kids and their grandparents (9ppl). Great location with attractions a short drive away. The house was equipped with indoor & outdoor activities for all to enjoy. Picturesque sunset and tranquil setting. Would aim to stay for 7+ nights next time.

Great location
We had a wonderful stay at the house and area. Plenty of fishing at backyard and lovely fire place. Close to bottle shop and petrol station also so easy to buy the firewoods. Overall house was well maintained and good working order. We didn’t find any faults and no one whinged about anything.

Great place for a relaxing time
We had a relaxing and amazing time with the family and grand kids on our wedding anniversary. The house is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped, giving everyone the privacy they needed, as well as accommodating for family time and activities. The view of the lake is relaxing, quiet, beautiful and we enjoyed the BBQ, fire pit, kayaking and games room. Thank you, Lucio & Julie, for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful, every need is catered for
The property is gorgeous. Our family of six plus two grandparents were completely comfortable. The owners were friendly and supportive, and everything we needed for a short stay was available. My only complaint is that our stay was not long enough! We will definitely be back!

Perfect stay with young kids
We spent 3 nights during the Easter break! It is a perfect place with young children, clean bedroom, beautiful lake view! The only thing is no shampoo there better to let us know as we assume there will be. But overall it is a amazing place to stay with reasonable price, highly recommend to family!

The property was very well appointed and ticked all of the boxes. There was so much to do, the children were busy all of the time. They really enjoyed a visit from a brush tailed possum who loved our avocados. We would love to have another visit and thank you very much for a wonderful holiday

Lots to entertain ourselves with as was pouring with rain. Property was very well equipped and generally clean. Only down side was crockery, dishes and glasses didn't look very clean so we put them all through the dishwasher. Lucio is great and very easy to deal with. Highly recommend property.

Lovely getaway
Both kids and parents enjoyed the time away. We had great weather, jetty was great for the kids to fish off, we used the fire pit at night to cook marshmallows. House came with the small essential items and there was decent amount of utensil and crockery. House has been well maintained. Owner was easy to communicate with. Thank you

Perfect family getaway
The process from A to Z was smooth, perfectly equipped property catering for the whole family: Canoes Bikes Snooker WiFi Etc..... A small point to be made, I would've preferred to know in advance that the house is a duplex, hence we felt we had to be ultra quiet because we didn't want the neighbours to complain from the kids noise in the games room at night etc.... Regardless, a perfect pet free (no pets allowed) property because my kids have allergies. I WOULD BOOK AGAIN
