Fantastic holiday bach

We had the best time here - it was such a relaxing place to stay. Everything was clean and tidy and the facilities were modern and cosy. The deck was a dream with comfy couches and a beautiful view to the reserve below. So close to the lake and the Kinloch store. Will definitely come again.
