This house was actually better than the pictures - which is rare!The only complaint that I have about this property is the lack of water pressure in the shower, which is to be expected on tank water. Everything else exceeded expectations and this will become a regular i think!

Great spot for a short break. Koalas in the trees along the driveway, clean and well appointed house with expansive water views. Perfect for a getaway.
Despite some terrible Easter weather we enjoyed our time playing games and sitting by the fire.

The property is isolated and quiet, a perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounds and wildlife. The kids had a ball swimming, watching kangaroos, our personal koala in the tree immediately in front of the deck and the large array of swans continually swimming up and back past us. Fantastic.

A great place for relaxing. Very clean and tidy. The only issue is the road to the accommodation as it's a little bit bumpy and far from the island central area. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience. The house was beyond expectations and the location was superb. Very clean and beautifully appointed house. Super comfy beds and loads of space. I think the property is a work in progress with a bit of a clutter around it but that didn’t detract from the experience. Amazing wildlife right on the doorstep. We loved it.

Beautiful relaxing break to wind down after christmas. Well appointed house where we could cook for our selves or head over to Paynesville. Lake frontage is stunning and we even launched our tinnie from the back yard. We woke to roos and koalas in our back yard and blue tounges and a black belly in the drive way, bliss for nature lovers. Only feed back was the TV only had Youtube or Netflix so you will need an account but didn't bother us too much as we spent so much time in/on the water. Paynesville also turned on the fireworks for NY eve!

Absolutely stunning home, right on the lake with views from front bedrooms & lounge/dining/kitchen. Lovely furnishings, very comfy beds, quality linen, fluffy towels. Gorgeous Belling range cooker & plenty of cookware made it easy to cook meals, which we enjoyed on the back covered veranda, surrounded by friendly wildlife. The house is away from the main roads, completely private with lots to explore just on the huge property, but do go on the koala walk...it’s spectacular...we saw so many koalas in the trees. We’ll be back to this most tranquil escape!

Reviewer Comments:
It is a beautiful place, so close to the water. It is really tranquil, as the name suggests. The house is big and full of light. We enjoyed everything but the bathrooms were dirty. We really wanted to use a spa bath but it was full of hair and dirt. The other show was not that clean either. The house is large and will accommocate a large family. It is important to know that a bunk bed room is off the main bedroom, and there is a also a play room connected to the bunk bedroom. There are two more double bedrooms on the other side of the house, so you can have privacy traveling with friends. The kitchen has everything you need. The woodburner is so good in colder weather. Suggestions: replace the large couch in the sitting room so that people could see the view from the couches. Also, move the bed in the main bedroom to the opposite wall, so that people could see the view.

It was just what us girls needed, perfect. Our only complaint, was that outside the main bedroom is a leak which would only drip of a night time, which kept the occupant awake.
