A great place to stay.

An excellent place to stay, great location and proximity to the lake. Needs a hose to wash/clean the boat, to help prevent spread of lake weed and Didymo.

Easter Treat

The property was excellent for what we required. The covered back area was superb for family games and entertainment and provided security for when it rained as we didn’t feel trapped inside. Everything we needed was present. Would definitely come back

Enjoyable stay

Good tidy bach, great covered area at the back with a decent size lawn. Marked down 1 star for accuracy of listing only as it said had a DVD player and we brought some new ones to watch, but there wasn't one there. Short walk to the boat ramp and reserve which was great. Thanks

Great set up!

There was ample room with decks at front and back of house, the bedrooms were good size and the kitchen had everything we needed, extra fridge outside was a bonus. Unfortunately we felt it was not very clean and we had no tv with error message no reception/satellite. Would definitely stay here again though!
