Beautiful little hideaway with a great price tag. Very reasonable for such a large property. We had everything we needed and the retreat was so clean and well cared for.

We were amongst the trees so there were some creepy crawlers- but this was to be expected and on the whole there were a lot less than we would have imagined. The property was very clean. We did have a resident gecko however. We couldn’t see him but we heard him every night and there was a little gecko poop left about. But to us, this added to the charm!

The property is just off the highway but feels miles away. A beautiful mix of nature and comfort. The skylights let in beautiful views of the trees that surround you. The light that comes into the house from all the windows is just stunning to wake up to. Perfect retreat for an artist to soak up the atmosphere and light. Really enjoyed the openness of the building. TVs in the bedrooms were a surprise and loved. It was nice to have access to DVD’s and books to read. We really appreciated the abundance of towels & toiletries. The breakfast supplies were a lovely bonus. The short walk to the lake and views are stunning. The covered deck was a delight. We have fallen in love with this place and plan to have a family vacation there very soon. You will want to stay several days to enjoy the peace, comfort & beauty. Easy going friendly hosts. Highly recommend staying here.

There was nothing we could fault. Leaving the property was hard because it was just so good staying there.

The place was lovely. A lot bigger than I expected. Loved the spa bath. Adele the host is lovely. Shuttle to Moonee Hotel was great, Drew their driver was so friendly. Can't rate the Moonee Hotel though. Bar staff took 30 minutes to make Cocktail and still got it wrong. Food only average.

Nothing. I agree there is a bit of musty smell but it's amongst the bush. Once you opened place it was fine.

Fantastic location. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Great lake views (pier to walk out on). All the facilities you could want and more. Excellent free breakfast with plenty to eat. Retreat had excellent decor. A magic stay. We will go back and for longer!

What's not to like? Hmm... location signage hard to see going in one direction. However one easy phone call solved all our problems.
