Owners live next door so check in was easy. Basic but adequate kitchen facilities. We were able to park with a trailer in the driveway. Fabulous, relaxing view. Lovely little sunny sitting spot, by the water, out the front.

A quiet little ‘granny flat’ overlooking the lake. Very comfortable, with simple compact kitchen incorporated. As indicated in a notice, wifi was best in kitchen area: sometimes no connection in the contiguous bedroom section. Malcolm and Penny very welcoming: Malcolm providing great local advice.
