Lovely hideaway with everything you need for a relaxing break in a stunning location.

Jo Australia

So much to love about this property however the location was incredible! Perfect for my husband and I as well as our fur baby. Very cosy and an absolute perfect get away. It was just what we both needed. The property even came with kayaks.

Malcolm Australia

Location on the water, the house itself was really nice and clean and comfortable and dog friendly.

Michelle Australia

The position on the lake was beautiful and peaceful, ducks visited everyday! Michael was very quick to respond to our messages too.

Marion Australia

Our second time staying there, such a beautiful house in a beautiful location-waterfront. House has everything you need, even kayaks and fishing rods.

Elisabeth Australia

The property was the perfect little hideaway and rejuvenating weekend away after months of lockdown. The views and peacefulness are hard to beat, comfortable beds, house was spotless clean & the kayaks lots of fun.

Samantha Australia

The house was beautiful and very clean everything u need. There is about 250 stairs that was a bit of a surprise definitely not for the elderly but a good work out loved it

Mel Australia

It’s private and so well presented, waters edge to wake up to is the best. Property is so clean and modern and so comfortable. I must admit stairs were the best part of it because of the view, breathtaking ❤️

Marina Australia

The property is exceptionally nice, the only negative was that there are many steps down to get to the house. Fine for us, but could be an issue for older people.

Ingeborg Australia

The friendly owners bent over backwards for us plenty of activity to do there was fishing rods, bbq wii for families and much more very modern and comfortable, we felt very relaxed.

  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?
    Spring and Autumn would be the best time to visit for a perfect beach holiday. The weather is milder, you can avoid the summer holiday crowds, and enjoy deserted beaches all to yourselves.

  • Hi. I was hoping to stay at your property for about 4-5 days and would like to know when the next availability would be? Thanks

  • is there a mooring facility for a boat?
    You can pull your boat up right out the front, but it would depend on the size of the boat as it is quite shallow on low tide.
