Comfy cottage

We loved our stay here - the house is super comfy and has everything you need. Fantastic location in Pukawa, short walk to the water and the morning chorus was a wonderful way to wake up in the morning! We wished we could stay longer

Great getaway and serenity

Awesome place to stay with our pooch and go walking. All the basic things you need at your finger tips (and more) just needed drinks and food.

An A frame delight

We give it an A! Great location, quirky and charming A frame bach with great extra cabin. Lots of great features and just as described Di does a fantastic job of informative instructions and helps make you feel at home right away. We had a fantastic long weekend away, with close by bush walks, beaches, boat ramps and comfy beds at the end of each day. Very well appointed with everything you’d ever need plus some great touches that show they’ve been in the hospitality business a while. Easy private off street parking for vehicles and boats.

Un petit coin de paradis !

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ! La maison et le jardin sont très agréables et très bien équipés. Dianne est une hôte charmante et attentionnée. Notre seul regret est de ne pas avoir pu rester plus longtemps ! Un grand merci !

Great little spot for a summer vacation

The place was great with all the amenities you need. Di was very prompt with answers to all the questions I had. A short walk or a drive leads to the beautiful lake access beach where you can spend the whole summer.
