We had an amazing stay. The house has everything you need, very well equiped. Great for families with plenty of room and close to everything. Thank you for a excellent stay!
Great location, short easy walk to playground, lake, tennis courts etc. Lovely sunny upstairs, spacious lounge and kitchen, large dining table for family dinners and great big balcony. All amenities you need.
Was a great location and plenty of off street parking. Tidy and clean and has everything you need. And an awesome price too! Will definitely be back when it’s warmer weather for fishing next time. Thank you :)
This was the perfect place for our family to relax and unwind. It's so peaceful, close to playgrounds, the lake and beautiful walking tracks. There was plenty of space to relax in the bach. We would definitely book again!
