  Denise C from NA recommends this vacation rental

  Great venue for a group affording individual privacy + multiple gathering spaces. Location perfect providing a sense of rural seclusion while only a short trip to town. Wifi fab and kitchen well equipped.
  
  Suggestions: signage on roadside at the gate entrance; advance notice that it’s a shoe-free house; consistency re linen per room / bathroom (we had random facecloths and hand towels); cleaning – used dry soap in master shower, waste paper behind master side table and child’s sticker on bedhead; ambiguous check-out times (in-house signage 10am vs email communications 12noon); add chux / washcloth to kitchen. PS We watered your lemon trees.

  annalise a from Mill Park, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  We absolutely loved our two night stay in this gorgeous home. It was so big, spacious, modern and just simply stunning. The view of the lake from the loving room and bedrooms, late nights by the bon fire with wood fire supplied. Huge land for the kids to run around in. 5 families travelled (16 people) and there was plenty of room. The kitchen was spacious fully equipped. Thank you so much for letting us make memories in this beautiful home. We will be back!
