Beautiful view; lots of room
Hello we stayed for a women's retreat and found it a great location, plenty of bird life, beautiful views from the verandahs - kitchen had what we needed - lots of space. Sauna door not able to be closed unless someone from the outside closed it for you and downstairs bathroom shower water spreads all over floor and around toilet so not super safe but the rest of it was great :)

A Great House
We were looking for a large house capable of accommodating 4 families for a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. Ski Cove House was perfect for that. Good beds, great spaces and well equipped kitchen. Wonderful! The only down side was that no one mentioned that there is a 30-40 meter drop from the house to the lake below and only a very rough track down. My wife took a nasty tumble that put somewhat of a dampener on our weekend. Thankfully she sustained no serious injury but could have. There are plenty of beautiful beaches not too far away.

Peaceful location with fantastic view
Enjoyed a lovely weekend with friends overlooking the beautiful lake. There were plenty of beds and a well stocked kitchen with ample plates, glasses cutlery. etc. Easy access down to lake level for water activities. Modern appliances. Deck needs updating. Short drive to Forster for anything you need, or a stroll through the coffee shops.

Ski Cove House
We knew the sunset was a feature of this property, but seeing it in person is surreal, absolutely magnificent. The house was large enough for our group of 11, including a 2, 5 and 7yo. The house itself is a little worn, and can be noisy with our little kids running around, but with so many ppl and family members being able to enjoy the location and time together, it was a small compromise. The balcony railing was a little concerning with our young ones having the tendency to want to lean on or try to climb on the wire balustrade, so we made sure we always had our eyes on the kids. Overall though, we would happily visit again, loved the location and with Kate’s check in and check out process being super efficient we had a wonderful multi generational family holiday.
