Beautiful Location

Our stay at Bonnells Lakeside was beautiful! The house was clean and well-equipped, and location was amazing for a week of fishing and fun. Margie was always responsive and lovely to communicate with, and the neighbors/locals were friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Margie Farrell

My husband and I bought Bonnells Lakeside 29 years ago and we, our children and friends have thoroughly enjoyed staying up there. We rebuilt the property in 2007 using an architect who promoted the open, cross flow ventilation and glass to maximise the beautiful location and view.

Why they chose this property

We have always enjoyed watersports and come up to Bonnells Bay to waterski, sail, enjoy lakeside living and playing golf locally. Our children, who are now grown up, still enjoy coming up to the lake. There is plenty of fish but that's one activity their friends enjoy more - fish and crabs have been caught at the end of the jetty. Children will love this place. We offer canoeing, badminton, snooker as well as playstation, WI and Foxtel. We have a snooker table in rumpus room.
