Beautiful, functional house
Stayed at by the lake @ Smiths for two nights for a work trip. Lovely place with plenty of room and a stunning outlook. Close to a great cafe (Frothy's) down the way too for morning coffee. Kate the manager was excellent and a pleasure to deal with.

Loved it so much we booked again
Loved our stay. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Kids swam and played cricket. We used Kyaks and paddle boards, and caught a lot of fish just from the bank of the lake. We were able to launch our boat once and it proved a perfect spot for tubing, and fishing. Loved it so much we booked again, but for longer.

Location is good, kids enjoy the kayak. If you don’t mind too much cockroaches, it should be a good place.

Clean and well-equip
We had a lovely long weekend here and nothing to fault with the property or management. Kate was always contactable, property was clean and the kitchen was well-equip. Unfortunately it was a bit wet during our stay so we couldn’t head down to the lake, however it would be perfect in better weather. Highly recommend this property.

May trip
Our stay was nice, very relaxing location. House was comfortable. Tv down stairs didn’t work which was annoying as it would of been good to set the kids up with a movie at night down there. Also some essential like tea, sugar and milk would have been nice for arrival. Overall trip was good, would do it again at a better time of year next time. Thanks

Lake, birds, trees and rest
The house is in a wonderful little village by the lake. The pictures provided of the house are accurate. Loved the layout of the place. Sunset every day over the lake is gorgeous. Access to and from the lake is easy enough although on a slope and the ground was very damp/muddy from all the rain we’ve been having. A minor problem though. Peaceful area and the cafe boat-shed nearby is wonderful. If it’s a quiet week(end) you need then this will do it.
