We had an amazing stay! The house is beautifully located with a great view of the lake, and we found it to be exceptionally clean and well-equipped for all our catering needs. The host, Kate, was very generous, providing firewood and essential consumables in the kitchen and bathrooms. Using the kayaks was another bonus! Kate was incredibly friendly and responsive.

This house look nice in the photos but was honestly 100 times better in person. So spacious, super clean, fully equipped with so much to do you don’t need to leave the house to have a fun, relaxing time.

Faultless

This is one of the best equipped, clean and comfortable properties we have ever stayed in. Magnificent views of the lake from the large deck. Glorious to wake up in a cosy bed and hear the birds. Plenty of hot water, plenty of room and plenty of added touches.

Kate was an amazing host—very responsive and easy to communicate with. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed, so we didn’t have to stress about anything. It was super cozy, family and pet friendly, and the view was just perfect. We felt so relaxed the whole time. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Definitely coming back! :)

Our family enjoyed a truly wonderful stay at Kate's home. Communication with Kate was 10/10 and check in was with ease using the lock box. The property was very modern with spacious indoor/outdoor spaces and spotlessly clean. The home contains all amenities and some nice welcoming touches. There is everything needed for the perfect stay. Incredible views of the lake and situated in a quiet bush setting. We enjoyed the walks and paddling on the lake. Kate is by all means and excellent host. Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

We were blown away how clean and organised the place was as it has everything that you need. It feels like home and very relaxing. The view of the lake from the house was incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. There’s an easy access from the house going to the beautiful lake and we tried swimming and kayaking! Such a great experience! Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind. We’ll definitely come back!
