We had a lovely and relaxing weekend. The house was spacious and in a very serene setting right in the lake. Was great to swim in the pool every day.

This was a lovely property,but needs improvement,as followsNo1-BBQ area,no gas BBQ or one that was fit to use, see photo ,which made it extremely hard when trying to cook for 9 people especially when you bought food to cook on the BBQ, the electricity overloaded and had to be sorted ,more phone calls to get the code to open the meter box to be able to reset the circuit breakerNo2-It took over 45 minutes to access the property,hard to find the key pad as it is hidden behind the gauze door& the 2 codes given would not work,this needs improvement and people that understand the situation ,luckily the final assistant that helped us was easily understood and managed to rectify the situationNo3-Sofa Bed in spare room was atrocious, we had to fold 3 quilts to try and make it comfortable, not very successful as there is a metal bar that goes horizontally across the lounge and digs in to your middle of your backNo 4 -Firewood was supposed to be provided for the first night, there was none ,luckily we had bought our ownNo5- Coffee Machine with no pods and no serving platters or plastic containers to use which is definitely needed when you have 9 guestsNo5- We had to fix the sliding door in the bathroom,because it would not slide and the toaster because it wouldn't work properly.The property could have been a little cleaner ,there was a,childs ball still under the kitchen table and bird droppings on verandah

We booked this place for 3 nights in early September for a family holiday. It was a lovely stay with breath-taking sunset views of the lake. Our parents were very impressed. We only ended up using 3 of the 5 bedrooms and there were no complaints. Didn't use sofa bed or single beds. The house is tucked away at the end of a driveway in a quiet street. The driveway leads to a foreshore reserve. It was serene and we basically remained undisturbed. Friendly warning: the neighbour next door owns two dogs. The listing somehow says indoor pool - there is no such thing. We did not use the pool as the weather wasn't warm enough. There were few leaves scattered. According to the info pack sent before arrival, the pool is not open for winter (reopens Sept school holidays). Firewood was provided as promised but we did not get to use it. We had to bring our own portable high chair but the dining chairs were incompatible due to the design. When we arrived, the house was cleaned recently. however, my husband noted that the carpet felt a little 'sticky' in the ensuite. On our last night, there were clusters of mosquitoes/bugs lingering around the ceiling and walls of the main hallway even though all doors and windows remained closed throughout day. Probably entered through air vents.Loved the centralised aircon/heating. Someone left a chunk of washing powder in the wrong compartment - had to clean before putting my own laundry liquid. Hot water shower temp tricky to adjust.
