Beautiful and clean cottage by the lake made for a relaxing stay while we were in the Coongulla region. Everything was ready for us to enjoy our stay, with the host being very helpful on local information and destinations.
This place is a perfect getaway for family and friends. It has everything you can possibly ask for down from Kayak to fire pit. The owner is very responsive and very nice.
The property had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The kayaks were a hit with my husband and teenagers. Our host, Kate, was very accommodating with our requests. Overall, a great stay and just what we needed for that time between Christmas and the new year.
Absolutely blown away with the property. The view was insane, everything was decked out beautifully & lots of special touches. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed in & will definitely be back!
The cottage is clean with all the amenities you need. The outdoor pergola area was relaxing and comfy. I loved having my coffee and meals by the patio table and stool enjoying the lake views and serentiy. Kate was a great host, prompt friendly communication.
The best views, perfect spot for some rest and relaxation
Stunning views over the lake. A compact, well appointed, super clean house with a fantastic, spacious deck area. We used the kayaks every day and the location is a good starting point for adventures in the surrounding area.
The property is amazing with awesome views and access to the lake. The cottage is simple yet refined with a family feeling. Loved waking up to the view and will miss it.
Was a great weekend we really enjoyed our stay, we were in the area for an event so didn't spend too much time there during the day however waking up to a beautiful view with coffee was fantastic would book again
Perfectly appointed lakeside home away from home. Owner has thought of everything, to the finest detail. Highly recommend and will definitely make a return trip in the warmer months.
A lovely setting, in a beautiful location. So nice to sit on the deck and overlook the lake. Excellent communication from Kate, the host.
This property was one of the best set up and supplied with necessities (and more) that I have stayed in. Very enjoyable!
House and location were perfect, house was spotless and although we brought our own stuff there was so much provided.
Kate communicated regularly where needed.
Very happy with our stay and would highly recommend.
We had such a great time, the house was perfect. It had everything you could possibly want, the kids went kayaking in the lake. We toasted marshmallows on the fire and the kitchen was full of equipment. One night week cooked home made Gnocchi and had a BBQ on the other. We will definitely be back.
Fantastic place. Every thing you need is provided. Totally relaxing weekend in a quiet area. Don’t hesitate, if you like water views with fantastic accommodation this is the place for you. Thank you Kate. Would have loved to stay longer but work beckons. Thanks again.
It was fantastic, had everything we needed, didn't have to bring anything, location is beautiful, great view of lake, would love to do it again and again, kids had a great time 🙂🙂
We had a great time. Fresh, clean and tidy small home with everything you will need, including a great covered verandah with views over the lake. Swimming and kayaking at the bottom of the garden and High Country 4-wheel driving, country towns and pubs and beaches all within easy driving distance.
A beautiful little haven. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you 🙏
The place was nestled in nature overlooking the River. A perfect location. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything you need. Kate also added beautiful little touches. We had an very relaxing time. We highly recommend this little haven. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Kate.
We had a lovely break at this property. It was everything as described. The only feedback would be to provide heating on the decking area which is enclosed and is a great living area. The fire pit and kayaking was a hit and would definitely recommend. Kate was a great host. Very responsive to any questions.
We recently stayed at Coongulla and were blown away by the service and the cleanliness. Kate was so accomodating with all my questions and made the process very smooth. The house was in immaculate condition and all the essentials were supplied plus extras! Even down to the fire pit already being loaded with kindling ready to go. We can’t wait to come back!
We were blown away with our stay! What an incredible view to wake up to every day and such easy access to the lake to take the kayaks for a spin!
Kate's place was spotless and all essentials were supplied plus more.
Kate was incredibly accommodating and helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
Days flew by making use of the Board games, kayaks, sports equipment, outdoor movie area and fire pit.
Couldn't ask for more!
This is one of the best places we stayed so far in Australia.
View from the alfresco is superb, serene. You can have peaceful, quiet relax time overlooking the lake
Hosts have spent well to make this place a great one. 2 fridges, 2 TV's, BBQ, 2+2 adults/kids Kayaks, lots of board games, puzzles... plenty to enjoy and spend your time..
Everything was clean.. even the bathroom was so nice.. All amenities are near new. Some kitchen utensils are still with original tags.
Kate is a superhost, always quick to respond to any query. We requested a latecheck-out till 2pm and she generously offered us till 5pm. Thanks Kate.
Time well spent.. wanted to go back surely..
