Little gem in Kinloch
This ticks all the boxes, especially with young kids who love the bunks and proximity to the lake. We’ve stayed her for 2 years in a row now and we love sitting on the deck and listening to the whistling poplars at night. Really sets the tone for a lovely holiday.

Beautiful well appointed unit with everything you need and more. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our two boys (9 & 12). Stayed over labour weekend - georgous weather so got in a few swims - beach is beautiful. Great burgers and chips at local store. Enjoyed Kinloch market and purchased some lovely pottery and woodwork for Christmas prezzies. Fabulous weekend. Highly recommend this Bach and we would love to come back. Thankyou!

Don’t arrive after dark, hard to find! It’s like home away from home, you have to make your own bed, take the previous people’s trash out and fight with the kids over the who has a poo and who has a shower. It is in a great location when the weather is nice, has everything you might need! Would be great for a summer vacay by the lake!

Magic Kinloch!
Had a very enjoyable stay, whilst visiting family. The Bach was well stocked, and had the luxury of a fire, which was well catered for. Will definitely be returning.
