We hired Jeannies place at the end of The Lake. Jeannie was a breeze to deal with and we enjoyed here piece of paradise for the weekend. The cabin is well set up with the large back deck and stunning views of the lakeI would definitely stay again
The house had everything we needed and we especially enjoyed the large veranda with wonderful views of the lake. We had so much fun exploring the lake by canoe and kayak, hanging out on the veranda and playing the various card and board games available. Thank you!
The bungalow has a fantastic layout and is very well equipped. We especially loved the main room facing the lake. The morning view was beautiful and very romantic. The owner was very responsive, and everything about our stay was excellent. We would definitely visit again.
The place was clean and well stocked with every we needed for our 2 night stay. Check-in was easy and we really enjoyed the spot. No deck but the kayaks were easy to access and overall the place had a great territory homie feel.
The perfect location at the far end of the row of cabins. Such a peaceful place to observe the changing faces of the lake throughout the day. Will be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at this great cabin. Beautiful views, well-equipped cabin, and easy drive from Darwin; perfect for a weekend break!
A wonderful relaxing stay on the lake, perfect for getting away from it all! The house is spacious and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay (we did grocery shopping in Darwin on our way to the lake). Best part was lazing on the verandah taking in the tranquility and chilling out reading a book with a glass of wine.
The Lake House was exactly as described but we thought the highlight of the place was the HUGE deck. Various bits of comfy furniture for sitting and lying around with HUGE open views of the lake and far shores. As holiday-makers from Adelaide, we also used it as a base to explore Litchfield NP - a much easier day trip than from Darwin. The house has everything you need - including the all-important noodles for swimming in the lake and at Litchfield! Lovely to canoe all round the large lake in the late afternoon. Highly recommended
Had a wonderful time at this house, lots of space to spread out, a wonderful view of the lake and very well stocked kitchen/lounge room/bathroom. The whole package!
My family have stayed at this property twice now, and we love it!
Our young boys enjoy the canoes and while my partner and I enjoy a few beers on the deck. It is becoming our home away from home.
A perfect getaway for my 50th birthday. Couldn’t have chosen a better way to celebrate. Family came out for a day trip From Darwin to share the experience. Plenty for everyone to do with canoeing and swimming ( plenty of canoes and kayaks for everyone to share with decent paddles. House was set up beautifully with little extras to make us want to come back. Waking up to the view of the water right at the doorstep was spectacular! Will definitely be back.
Perfect location, fantastic veranda, and all the amenities you need. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, the beds comfy, and there's lovely arty touches throughout. We will be back!
This was our 2nd stay and once again we thoroughly enjoyed it. We took our son and his young family along with us and we all had great fun on and in the Lake. The house has everything you need and the setting is spectacular
