Wonderful property

Had an amazing time. Everyone loved the house. It caters for elderly and disabled people as there are bedrooms downstairs and an accessible bathroom for people who can't access the bedrooms upstairs. Highly recommended.

Perfect weekend retreat

This property is brilliant! We went away for a quiet girls weekend and we could not have been happier. The house is generous, it contains everything we needed and the outlook and views are perfect. Having a great little restaurant not even 100 mtrs away made the whole experience a relaxing and convenient. We will be back!

Amazing house and location - just perfect for our large family getaway.

Spacious house with private outdoor living areas and amazing access to the lake and resort facilities. A few small things were not what we expected for an executive home stay - the fridge had a strong unpleasant seafood odour and there were no cleaning products to use; face washers were provided instead of hand towels in bathrooms; tv remotes didn’t have working batteries; utensils were in disarray and some needed cleaning/replacement. It would be great if guests could have the option of having 2 single beds made up as one bed for couples.
