Excellent fit-out and perfect location

We really enjoyed our 2 days here despite the cool weather. The kitchen was amazing and had lots of extras. The only negative is that there is no table although there is one folding one outside that can be used.

Fantastic holiday bach

We had the best time here - it was such a relaxing place to stay. Everything was clean and tidy and the facilities were modern and cosy. The deck was a dream with comfy couches and a beautiful view to the reserve below. So close to the lake and the Kinloch store. Will definitely come again.

Amazing location + facilities

This property was amazing, incredible location just a really short stroll to the lake and the shop. House was overall really clean - the only minor detail was the duvets look like they could do with a refresh. Bathroom and kitchen were great. The extra little amenities that you have thought of - were incredible - we took as much as we could - but actually alot of the little extras were there - which was so helpful. Added bonus with the off street gated parking for the jetskis! We will absolutely stay again!
