Wonderful winter stay
We had a great Winter short break. Loved the serenity of the property, the view, proximity to the lake. The house was clean, comfortable and well-stocked. We would definitely recommend it and plan to stay again.

Lakeside paradise
Wonderful weekend getaway with friends. The house is spacious, and the outside area rolling down to the lakeside is idyllic. Looks better than the photos! Strongly recommend.

Great location and view, loved the fireplace
Anna was very easy to communicate with in regards to our booking and check in. The location and view are great. Its an older house but suited us fine for a large family group. The driveway was not for the faint hearted, but we managed it. The beds downstairs in the bunk room could maybe do with updated mattresses but the other beds were fine. Quite an interesting downstairs bathroom :) Just a short walk to the beach and local cafe's. Very friendly locals.

The house actually presented better in the photos than it did in life. However; the layout did work brilliantly for our teen children (not quite glamorous enough though, for us adults!). The outlook from indoors was picturesque. Unfortunately there was a stench coming from the lagoon which we noticed when we sat outside or swam in it. We didn’t expect this. The kayaks did somewhat redeem. For the children at least!

Wonderfully relaxing stay
A great spot with beautiful outlook. Renovated kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable, stylish, clean and tidy. Location is amazing. Only one thing to improve: two of the four on-site kayaks are missing the plugs that keep the water out. We would have brought our own, had we known. Otherwise a brilliant stay.

If you have good knees and a level of fitness this place is fantastic! It has everything you could want. Only draw back were the steep stairs.

Lakeside getaway
We came up for a weekend away for my partners 40th, with all the borders closed this was a great distraction from everything going on in the world. The place was perfect for our group, we had our 5 month of with us and we’re able to still get her to sleep while the rest of us enjoyed dinner in the dining room. The fire pit was an amazing feature, again you couldn’t hear anyone down there from the house so it work out perfectly for our group. Such a beautiful setting, we had a great time and it was the perfect weekend away! Thank you!

Ticked so many boxes with a few quirks
This place really ticked all the boxes for our 2 families only let down by slight issue with cob webs and steep awkward drive way - there is must needed backyard lighting BUT so many positives that made this place perfect for us. Being right on the lagoon was fun and hours of entertainment as well as only being leisurely walk down to the beach. Anna was fantastic and always on hand for any calls or enquires

Wonderful Lakeside Family Property!
We had the most amazing time at this beautiful lakeside property. Traveled with two kids and they absolutely loved the table tennis and snooker tables as well as the many videos and board games available. The fireplace really set the mood and the lakeside bonfire was the icing on the cake. The property is literally an 8-minute walk to the beautiful Copacabana beach and the surrounding neighborhood is stunning. I can't thank the property owners enough, they really thought about everything, from the amenities to every kitchen supply imaginable the property caters for everything you will need on your perfect getaway. We absolutely loved everything about the property and we can't wait to come back!

Lovely lake location, great family house
Simple house, slightly quirky, but with everything you need, clean and tidy and, despite the persistent rain, we all enjoyed our stay here very much. Gorgeous watching the ducks and swans too! Slightly longer walk to the surf beach than I had imagined but it didn't impact our enjoyment at all. Really appreciated the fast and friendly response when we had issues with the DVD player too. Thank you!
