  Although the house disappointed on arrival, it didn’t spoil our stay as they were all minor things but felt they should

  The property was in a lovely location right on the lake and was very spacious. The hot tub was a lovely addition to our stay.

  When we arrived there was an awful smell, some of the windows didn’t lock, the place looked like it had been locked up for a few months before our arrival and then a quick clean before we arrived. The main bathroom shower door was broken, stains on the carpet, the walk in wardrobe had no light, the veranda had fairy lights that were hanging down and covered in cobwebs, there were no baking trays and only 1 wine glass for a house that can sleep 8+ people, The downstairs was very cold and was told that we would get some heaters but these never arrived, my husband also did most of the repairs that needed doing himself due to the host not responding to him. We felt a bit disappointed on arrival. We did however meet the owner of the property who apologised about the house and said that he did not know about these issues and would be looking at getting the house back in to shape.

  We all had a wonderful week in a lovely comfortable, well supplied and well-located home.

  Location perfect for everything we needed and wanted to do. We enjoyed sitting outside and looking at the great view. Very relaxing.

  Not much but if I wanted to nitpick some teaspoons in the kitchen would have been nice.

  Lovely place and location

  Loved the jetty and the jacuzzi

  AVOID - Cleanliness and lack of any lamps for lighting extremely poor. Good location and spacious

  Host provided code on time

  The cleanliness of the property was very poor. Cigarette ash, sand, a dead cockroach and ice cream stick on the patio. Spiders web on more than 1 inside window plus children's finger marks on many windows. Dirty cutlery draw and rusty kitchen door hinges with significant rust residue in the cupboard. Fizzy drink spills on lounge floor and kitchen. All windows outside look like they had not been cleaned for months. All issues reported immediately to host who apologised and promised to refund $200, sadly this was not honoured, despite allowing 3 weeks for this to be refunded.

  A spacious home in a quiet lovely location with many facilities.

  It was a great location facing west right on the lake front. The size of the house and the space in it suited the seven of us (1 unrelated female sailor and 6 male sailors for a regatta). The covered deck with a large table and a good BBQ was perfect for breakfasts and our dinners.

  The bedding with doonas was too hot for the temperatures with no option of blankets etc. There was a shortage of crockery and glassware for our party of 7. It was difficult to open the sliding windows and some of the Venetian blinds were broken. The heating in the hot tub wasn't working but we decided this was done deliberately to save on electricity cost?
