The home features an exposed beam ceiling, brand-new flooring, and plush carpet, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The heart of your stay will undoubtedly revolve around the water, whether you're fishing, swimming, boating, enjoying a lakeside picnic, or unwinding on the back deck with a glass of wine, soaking in the stunning views.

Ideal for groups of couples, small families, or an extended family, this spacious home boasts five generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a comfortable lounge, a separate dining area, a laundry with an additional toilet, and a covered outdoor space.

All five bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds, with two offering access to private balconies and the master suite including an ensuite. Each bed is fitted with fresh, clean linens, while the bathrooms are stocked with a complimentary supply of hand soap and toilet paper. Bath towels are also provided for your convenience.

If you are unsure if your group falls into any of these categories please enquire before booking. We can easily determine if the house rule of “No parties or events” is disrespected, and this means additional charges, bond forfeited and/or eviction will apply.

Good place to stay
Good location, clean and generally all good, but the living spaces could have been a bit larger, considering the number of beds. The late check-out was great.

Great family place
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family vacation was great. House had enough rooms and spacious enough for 8 people. The outside veranda was absolutely beautiful. So serene, loved having breakfast outside and dinner with the sunset. It’s right on the water, so kids rode on their scooters everyday and there’s a lovely walk in front of the house when it’s not so hot. A few things to consider:•The house has no air conditioning. It was beyond hot inside during the summer heat. We asked for a portable aircon. The owners were so nice and came and dropped off the portable aircon which attaches to the window. But the rest of the house was still hot. •The place also had a sewerage smell. •The place also needs pest control as we so many cockroaches inside the house. If pest control was done and air conditioning was put in, I would 100% come back here.

Mannering Stay
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. Some wear and tear issues were noted. Have sent an email with details and photos. Moreover, what I can add that the place is very beautiful. However, the people who walk their dogs outside on the path were not picking the poo. There was poo everywhere along the path. We were very careful not to step on it. The owner should make a complaint to the Council. Regards, Quddus Wazirzada
