Loved it so much we booked again
Loved our stay. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Kids swam and played cricket. We used Kyaks and paddle boards, and caught a lot of fish just from the bank of the lake. We were able to launch our boat once and it proved a perfect spot for tubing, and fishing. Loved it so much we booked again, but for longer.

Location is good, kids enjoy the kayak. If you don’t mind too much cockroaches, it should be a good place.

Clean and well-equip
We had a lovely long weekend here and nothing to fault with the property or management. Kate was always contactable, property was clean and the kitchen was well-equip. Unfortunately it was a bit wet during our stay so we couldn’t head down to the lake, however it would be perfect in better weather. Highly recommend this property.
