Overall rating not 5 stars due to the weather...
It is not the properties fault that is rained all weekend, but the rain does have an influence on the experience of holidaying by the lake. Holiday by the lake is an outdoor holiday! Looking forward to visiting it again when it hopefully does not rain all weekend.

Quiet Town but great water access
Great location. Walking distance to boat ramp, park and across the road from waterfront reserve. Interior has been updated. Well appointed kitchen. However there is only 1 store/petrol supplier in town which was closed so created an issue for Boat Fuel. Otherwise house was better then photos. Happy with my stay Excellent communications Thank you

Nice home in a great location
The house is located close to the lake. Very peaceful and quiet, yet not far from amenities. The host was easy to contact. I highly recommend this holiday home.

Quiet spot
The property needed some updating but was very clean and well equipped. It would benefit from air conditioning in the 3 bedrooms. Although the location was very nice, being across the road from the lake, Coomba Park is a bit too far from civilisation for us!

Lovely lake stay
We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful home in a quiet town with direct lake access, and an easy 20-30 minute drive to ocean beaches (including dog friendly). Home is clean and modern, and communication with Yvonne was easy!
