We had a fab stay in this lovely little cottage across from Lake Bonney. The cottage has everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. The little treats on arrival for us and our 2 doggos, was such a nice touch. The weather wasn’t in our favour, so will be back to enjoy in summer another time. Thank you for letting us all stay at Stay & Relax.

Pet friendly is a winner

Very enjoyable, relaxing stay. Wonderful view of the lake . Would recommend for pet friendly and for family with young children as the premises are fenced off. Seperate Games room was a bonus.

Holidays with dog

We loved the house, the property was completely fenced off so our dog could be off leash, the house was clean and super functional, the games room was so much fun! We definitely recommend the Sunset Retreat!
