One night stay

The cottage was in a great location, with a nice view from the balcony.The property could do with some updating, some of the cushions were ripped, the blinds had tears. Pillow's could be updated, and the couch may need a steam clean. Needs a little careEasy to find and process of checking in was great

Why they chose this property

This property is in the perfect location. Close to the water, playground, golf course and café. The inside of the property has been modernised with bamboo flooring and has a washing machine, smart TV and two areas for relaxing. Directly behind is the South Lakes golf course.

The balcony overlooks the lake and is a great place to have a BBQ, cheese and wine.
It is within walking distance to the main street, but far enough away to get away from the hussle and bussle.
