Please enquire as to the availability + pricing, as discounts will be offered for combined booking of the Cottage and Boathouse.

Guest Comment:
The location is beautiful - just perfect. We tied our boat up in the back yard and enjoyed coming and going at our leisure. The home is beautifully decorated, well appointed and a pleasure to stay in. Watch out for the kookaburras when you're eating breakfast! Rebecca. Rating: 5/5

3 Day Stay from Melb.

Fantastic accoms. Beautiful and conveniently located , yet just enough off the busy areas to have your own little bit of awesome to enjoy. Main house is fresh and clean with nice breezes from east and west. The Boathouse Cottage is beyond expectations and is a must for family or larger groups. You won’t regret hiring. Bruce is straightforward and pleasant to deal with either by msg or old school phone call. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful lake front location!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. We stayed for a weekend with the kids and they spent all day in and on the water. The boathouse was the highlight for us right on the lake front. The kitchen and house was clean and well equipped with plenty of pantry ingredients. There was no wifi which was advertised in the listing but we didn’t really miss it as there was enough entertainment and dvds for kids to relax after a long day on the lake. Highly recommend it! Thanks Bruce would love to stay here again.
