Nice property in a cute location, good for a quiet weekend away. Photos of property slightly misleading as size is quite small and the backyard it hard to access, there is also an off limits studio downstairs. The property was also unfortunately quite dirty when we checked in. However great views of the lake, and good size balcony to enjoy.

Thanks for your feedback Bree. We are so happy that you enjoyed the location and the bay views.
Just to clarify, the backyard is accessible via the stairs along the side of the property and opens out to a level grassed area. You’re also correct that the studio is not available for guest use, although it is always unoccupied.
We’re sorry to hear the property wasn’t as clean as it should have been on arrival. This has been passed on to our housekeeping team to prevent it happening again. If we had been notified at the time, we would have arranged for a cleaner to attend straight away.
Thanks again for your comments, and we’re glad to hear you still enjoyed your stay overall.

I highly recommend this property because of the location, ample space for those looking for a house for six people, and stunning view from the balcony to the lake. The only thing that needs to improve is the property's cleanliness, two examples: the utensils in the kitchen were dirty and greasy, and those who are allergic will suffer from dust and mite.

Lovely house, beautiful view
This was a lovely little house, the view is absolutely gorgeous and the location pretty good. Unfortunately it just wasn't very clean. We enjoyed our stay, but arriving to dirty floors was a bit disappointing. I'm sure it was probably just a glitch, would recommend it on all other accounts.

Thanks for taking time out to write a review we appreciate feedback to make any improvement on our properties. I must apologise regarding the floors we had the maintenance man around fixing some lights for your stay. The floors were properly cleaned after your departure. We would love to welcome your back anytime.
Lovely home with amazing views. The home had all the basics. Some surfaces and floors were dirty but we were fine wiping and sweeping before use. The beds were comfortable and electronics worked well. The biggest selling point for us was the views and the outdoor garden space. This retreat was much needed. As in previous reviews, you must be warned about the driveway. Our standard SUV was fine doing down the steep driveway so long as you go slow. The Corolla hatchback was damaged despite going slow and entering at an angle. No issues exiting the driveway. Be sure to have a spotter stand outside and guide you. Otherwise, nice accommodation and would stay again.

Beautiful water views. Very clean. Lots of utensils. Aircon Unit x 1 worked well.
Mattresses on beds bit thin, and Laundary looks rough but everything works.
Very recommended

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the Central Coast.
We really enjoyed the cottage. It was a real joy sitting on the deck with the views and the bird life.
We would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Great location, disappointing house.
vely location. However, disappointing in other aspects. Basic supplies did not exist, eg. paper towel, dishwashing tablets, hair shampoo, condiments. Also, the house needs updating and more precise explanation in advertising. Ensuite is an added shower over toilet virtually on top of basin. Cracked toilet seat and leaking taps in 2nd bathroom. House needs overall attention. Not to mention washing machine under the house, as explained, however, very uninviting to wash in that environment! Weather was perfect so we were lucky to enjoy the beautiful outlook.

We had a group of 6 friends and we were more than satisfied with not only the service but the overall stay experience. We would definitely go back even if it’s just for the great view over the balcony alone. Thank you!
Home is in a great location within walking distance to the bay and beaches. Great water views through a line of trees. Double volume living area with a long spacious balcony makes for easy entertaining while looking into the water lapping below!
The property was very well appointed with all kitchen appliances/utensils and gadgets supplied!
While it worked for us, the main ensuite was a little small and could be uncomfortable for larger people.
Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay and will certainly return!

The property has a very cottage feel - small, neat and cosy. The balcony that backs onto the waterfront and bushland is definitely a highlight. Internally the furnishings are showing their age and have obviously been well loved. Overall our group of 4 didn't believe we received value for our money - the location and surroundings is what you pay for here.

Lovely week in this lovely home. The deck is the best bit with a beautiful view out over Brisbane waters and lots of wildlife around. Great walking tracks on your doorstep and great local things to do like tennis and kayaking. Breakfast spots just moments away!
House was clean and had everything we needed. Only thing to be aware of is no wifi but that didn’t bother us!
Thank you for such a great trip!!

Relaxation with a view
We had a rainy weekend here and the place was perfect. Between showers we did lots of walks exploring the beautiful area. When it was raining we sat on the balcony admiring the view and reading. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would like to return some day and we will stay here again.

Great holiday house
We have stayed here on two occasions in the past month and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were a little skeptical after the reading a bad review however the agent assured us we would love the house.
To their credit we certainly did and returned with our Book Club friends.
We will be back again.
