Had a great time, enjoyed the views, place was really nice, really clean, everything worked, nicely furnished, beautiful quiet location can't wait too come again
Took our speedboat - much fun by all, both in and towing behind in various devices. Kids enjoyed the canoes, bikes, scooters, fishing & the ducks. The property was extremely well equipped.
This house is even better than it looks on the photos, it is an ideal place to go if you want to relax with a book or board game by the lake, go for walks around the suburb, fish, kayak or visit the beach. I went with a group of friends and all 8 of us absolutely loved it. It is the perfect place for anyone looking for a peaceful get-away.
The family stayed to celebrateh a birthday. The house has everything you could possibly need and is perfectly located, backing onto the lake. It surpassed our expectations
We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and quiet for a restful getaway. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, and every detail made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Lucio and Julie were such great hosts, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. We all had a great time and can’t wait to book again for our next trip. Highly recommend!"
7 of us good friends came for a kayaking weekend.
The location was perfect and despite the rain we got out on the lake for a short time all of the 3 days.
The firepit in the evening was nice to relax around and warm tired muscles.
Beautiful property right on the lake. Very relaxing and peaceful! The interior is very clean, new and modern. The backyard area is wonderful to hang out in. A family of ducks even came to say hi.
The house is amazing : clean ++
And has all the fun things needed to entertain kids while adults enjoy time together .
We loved the access to the kayaks …. The water is perfect for the “novice” kayaker
Thanks again for our great time away .
Really enjoyed our stay.Our family of 2 adults and 4 teenagers had plenty of room to be together or have our own space.We lost wifi due to a freak storm but the Lucio tried to have this issue resolved for us- even when he was overseas-which we really appreciated.Plenty of space and it had everything we needed.
Lovely quiet neighbourhood with beautiful lake views out the back door. There is plenty of included things for guests of all ages like canoes, bikes, games for the kids etc.
The host has thought of everything you may need for your stay.
Highly recommend this property for your next holiday.
Host is very accomodating and helpful.
We had a relaxing and amazing time with the family and grand kids on our wedding anniversary. The house is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped, giving everyone the privacy they needed, as well as accommodating for family time and activities. The view of the lake is relaxing, quiet, beautiful and we enjoyed the BBQ, fire pit, kayaking and games room. Thank you, Lucio & Julie, for a wonderful stay.
We had a wonderful stay at the house and area. Plenty of fishing at backyard and lovely fire place. Close to bottle shop and petrol station also so easy to buy the firewoods. Overall house was well maintained and good working order. We didn’t find any faults and no one whinged about anything.
Our stay as two families with teens at “Chilling Lakeside” was truly relaxing (mid Dec 2024). The booking process was easy, and communication with the gracious hosts was excellent. The house was well-equipped including entertainment for the adults / teens, good books and amazing views with stunning sunsets enjoyed by the jetty and around the firepit. Pelicans coasting along the water and friendly little ducklings were a joy. The nearby Coastal and Co takeaways had the best burgers and our trip to Caves beach (35min) was lovely. It was a memorable and relaxing stay.
Perfect location to chill and relax with stunning sunsets over the lake.
From start to finish, there were no issues. Our hosts communicated everything we needed to know. We enjoyed the kayaks and pool table as well as the fire pit. The ducks were a bit of a nuisance, leaving a mess to clean up on the concrete. We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion in such a comfortable house, the perfect place to relax.
The process from A to Z was smooth, perfectly equipped property catering for the whole family:
Canoes
Bikes
Snooker
WiFi
Etc.....
A small point to be made, I would've preferred to know in advance that the house is a duplex, hence we felt we had to be ultra quiet because we didn't want the neighbours to complain from the kids noise in the games room at night etc....
Regardless, a perfect pet free (no pets allowed) property because my kids have allergies.
I WOULD BOOK AGAIN
This property is even more gorgeous than the photos and seemed closer to the lake than i thought it would be. Its is spotlessly clean and extremely well organized. The booking and check in process was easy with great communication with Lucio and Julie. We were were all happy with our bedrooms which were spacious and clean. The house delivered fully with entertainment, we enjoyed playing board games and playing pool, cooking marshmallows by the outside fire, paddling on the lake in kayaks and canoes and hours of fishing with late afternoon being the best time to catch fish. A Woolworths is only 5 minutes away and we enjoyed visiting Norah Head lighthouse which is about a 15-20 minute drive. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back soon.
I went there with my parents and three kids. Each room has its own air conditioning which is perfect for us. The kitchen has everything we need. We spend most of our time playing pool game dues to the wet weather, couldn’t enjoy the jetty and the backyard. Everything is perfect except the sound insulation isn’t very good, as upstairs bedroom can hear clearly the noice from downstair. (Except the lake view bedroom) the TV in the lake view bedroom isn’t working and the Wifi signal isn’t very stable. But I will still give it a 5 stars rating as the location and every other things are very good!
Lovely home, beautiful surrounds, kids loved kayaking and playing in the lake. Hosts were very welcoming would highly recommend for families with older kids. Our youngest was 8, he loved it.
