Summary: Location perfect, tucked away in privacy but an easy walk to the lake and tracks. The kids loved the bedrooms upstairs, we enjoyed the coziness and unique layout. It was cold in June but the house was warm with the heat pump. Suited our family of five very well.
Suzan H. Apr 23, 2025 07:12:54 AM
Summary: We recently had the pleasure of staying at this enchanting cabin and it truly exceeded our expectations! The cabin itself was beautifully appointed, but it was at night that it truly came alive with a magical feel. The stars shone brightly overhead, and the birdlife was absolutely incredible - waking up to the sweet songs of the birds was a highlight of our stay.The cabin was exactly as described online, and the owner was kind communicative and welcoming. We felt right at home and the peacefulness of the surroundings was the perfect antidote to our busy lives.We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We'll definitely be back - we're already planning our next visit! 5 stars isn't enough - we'd give it 10 stars if we could!

Summary: Awesome place to stay with our pooch and go walking. All the basic things you need at your finger tips (and more) just needed drinks and food.
Woody F. Mar 18, 2024 09:49:53 AM
Summary: We give it an A! Great location, quirky and charming A frame bach with great extra cabin. Lots of great features and just as described Di does a fantastic job of informative instructions and helps make you feel at home right away. We had a fantastic long weekend away, with close by bush walks, beaches, boat ramps and comfy beds at the end of each day. Very well appointed with everything you’d ever need plus some great touches that show they’ve been in the hospitality business a while. Easy private off street parking for vehicles and boats.
Sumith S. Feb 9, 2024 05:24:53 AM
Summary: The place was great with all the amenities you need. Di was very prompt with answers to all the questions I had. A short walk or a drive leads to the beautiful lake access beach where you can spend the whole summer.

Summary: The communication with owners was superb. This was the first property we have rented that was well-equipped in the kitchen, with cleaning products and toilet paper & hand wash on arrival - we brought all this anyway but was lovely to have it there after a long trip!!! I loved the birds and native bush! Another mention must be the comfortable beds. Enough room for our boat and kayaks etc. Eating outside was lovely as was being able to bring our wee dog. Thankyou Di, we really loved our stay and will be back!! You have a great bach and our kids loved it as Wifi is a must for them like a washing machine is for me lol.
