A wood burning stove in the living area provides more than enough heat for the house and enough wood and kindling are provided for your stay in winter.

The back wall of the living area is made up of a full width window and sliding door that opens up on to the large deck offering panoramic views of the lake and surrounding valley and trees. There is a large table and a gas BBQ for use on the deck and a large ceiling fan ensures you remain cool no matter what the weather. The deck leads off to the side to the small garden area. The bedroom has sliding door access to the deck.

The bedroom overlooks the lake, rain forest and Macadamia trees and has a ceiling fan and a reverse cycle air conditioning unit. It has a Queen bed, and all linen is provided.

We do ask that you not leave your dog at the home alone for long periods of time.
Please enquire about larger pets.
There are also free-range chickens on the property.

Just what the doctor ordered

Perfect place for a weekend away from it all - great cottage in beautiful setting. Town is only just down the road and plenty of food options if you don't feel like cooking.

Everything about the cottage was perfect, clean, comfortable furnishings best equipped kitchen we have ever come across . Plenty of wood for the fire, beautiful deck overlooking the lake but private. The breakfast hamper was so nice, warm freshly baked bread, fruit local yogurt, shortbread buscuits, cereal, fresh eggs from their own hens. Could not fault anything about this cottage. Perfect romantic getaway to celebrate wedding anniversary thank you we will be back.
