Great property and location. Friendly neighbourhood.
We really enjoyed our week here, with going out some days and staying in others. The property has everything you need. A mishap when boating meant some of the days had to be taken easy but still plenty to do right at the house, with fishing, games, giant TV and kind neighbours. Great communication with host.

home away from home
we totally enjoyed our stay. the tranquillity, the view, the nature, the aquatic creatures and the house features. all you need for a holiday is all there. we love to come back again. However, the BBQ is a bit old to use and where it placed was not a convenient spot. we wished we could enjoy that when we were there. our stay is 2018 not 2017

Delightful house
We were delighted with the house. Everything we needed was provided even quite a few pantry items. The outlook onto the water was lovely and watching the boats sail by was delightful. Although we didn't use the kayaks the house is well equipped for a family with children to have fun on the water. The private jetty is great to fish from too. Mishael has provided a house for a great relaxing holiday experience. Highly recommended .

Family Friendly
My partner and 2 of our children stayed over this weekend as a get away. We all loved the relaxed atmosphere and layout of the property with the "Kids" (20 and 17) taking up camp in the Theatre Room both nights before heading back to their rooms for the night. Allowing my partner and I time alone. The family area also allowed us all to come together for meals or to build our Lego sets or play games well into the night. The dock made the perfect setting for that first cuppa and peace before starting the day of exploring the local area. We are now planning a full family trip with My Partner, Myself, our 3 adult children and my Inlaws. More than enough room for everyone to come back together or have their own space in their own room. The couch converting into a bed in the theatre room is a definite bonus.
