Bliss by the lake

We loved the location, close enough to town but far enough away. House was well presented and maintained and the communication was excellent.

Family retreat

A spacious house with large barbecue and deck made for a great place to cater for a family. Having the lake so close and 3 kayaks to use was a bonus.
