Thank you for the lovely review Jackie, I am so glad you enjoyed the property even though we were struggling to have everything done in time after this huge upgrade over the last 4 months.

Being right on the water was awesome. Not only for the boat, but the kids loved swimming/jumping from the jetty and kayaking around. The spa on the deck was also a great addition. The size of the house was good for the large group and the games room set up in the garage got used heaps.

Family weekend

Great property with lots of extras. Weather closed in on our last day but still plenty to do with the pool table, ping pong table and spa pool. Lots of space for the family to spread out. The lake is beautiful with lots of birdlife and you can get amongst it in the kayaks.
