So much to offer
Maria's home was even better in real life. The view spectacular and relaxing, games perfect to keep teenagers occupied and even space for everyone to have quiet time. Wonderful beaches within walking distance and we were lucky enough to see whales. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank you Maria Coulsnt

Spectacular Getaway with Breathtaking Views
Our stay was nothing short of incredible! The views are absolutely breathtaking—pictures simply don’t do them justice. The interior is spacious and can comfortably accommodate multiple families. Everything inside is clean and modern, making it a perfect retreat.The location is ideal, with beautiful patrolled beaches and a lake perfect for paddle boarding just a short distance away. It’s also within walking distance to charming cafes and local restaurants, and not far from Coles and the village.This spot is perfect for a quick getaway. The host was very friendly and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. The pool table and foosball game kept the kids entertained, and we relished watching the stunning sunset from the balcony. We were even lucky enough to see fireworks from the house. The spa bath was so relaxing and added to the overall experience. Highly recommended!

Perfect for a family get-together
Our group of eight seniors enjoyed the chance for a get to-gether to celebrate birthdays, catch up and play some golf. The house is very spacious with lots of living areas and room to get away for some quiet time. The host is most generous with her time and with provisions in the house. The only negative aspect was the large numbers of flies and moths that covered the windows and walls at dark and had to be swept up every morning dead on the floor. Not sure why. The pool table gave us many hours of fun. Would absolutely recommend a stay here.

Stunning views
Our host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome in this beautiful home with stunning views of the lake and ocean. Fresh flowers throughout were a lovely personal touch while the pool table, foosball table, games and books kept us all entertained. We loved the location, the fabulous beaches and the walking tracks along the Lake. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will definitely be back again!

Lovely fun family home
Everything is as the listing says. The home is lovely but very very bright and warm. We all had a lovely stay and throughly enjoyed the pool table, the walk around the lake and a trip to the beach. The host was provided details instructions. There were even fresh flowers throughout the house and loads of ‘extras’ which were appreciated. Thank you for a great stay!

The house on the hill
This property is well maintained, supplied with more than most of the basic comforts, kept impeccably clean, and provided with detailed information gathered by the owner over many years. The house itself is large and very comfortable, but unfortunately its aspect only allows the sun on a small balcony until about noon, with the sun never reaching deep into the lounge and kitchen and dining room. It adds the personal touch in so many ways such as providing notes, pamphlets, restaurant menus, maps, historical information and caps it off with a complimentary jar of plum jam made to perfection. The only insignificant and rather trivial point is that a small towel went missing and required compensatory reimbursement from the bond. This house has been a pleasure to utilize for a holiday and we congratulate and thank the owner Maria for her selfless assistance.

Home away from home
Can not recommend this property enough! To start with the views are spectacular, you can see the water from virtually every direction from the house. The photos on the listing just don't do it justice. Lots of board games, pool, foosball and table tennis to keep you entertained. Kitchen extremely well stocked with staples and great quality coffee machine with beans supplied. Maria (the host) was extremely helpful and communicated well. She was very accommodating with nice personal touches like fresh flowers around the house. Short walk to the supermarket and lake foreshore, minutes drive from the national park and beaches. Couldn't recommend this property enough, will definitely be back to stay again soon!!

Long weekend stay
Maris, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for our unforgettable stay at your property. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views from the balcony. The panorama was nothing short of spectacular, and it truly made our stay extraordinary. Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The fresh and beautiful flowers through the house made the stay nothing but extraordinary, loved them. The fully functional and well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare meals with ease. We appreciated having everything we needed at our fingertips, from cookware to utensils. . It made our stay feel like a home away from home. Moreover, your warm hospitality and thoughtful service made all the difference. Your local recommendations enriched our experience. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. We look forward to returning to your property in the future. Until then, please accept our heartfelt thanks for making our stay truly exceptional.

Thank you Maria for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We loved the extra effort you made to make us feel welcome especially the fruit, condiments, moisturisers, and your mother’s homemade jam.
