About this property

Island Lakeside Retreat: Pool, parkland reserve and Lake

  • Description
    Wake to sunrise over the water and finish the day with sunset drinks by the pool. Set right on the lake shore of Chinaman’s Island, this spacious retreat offers relaxed luxury the whole family can enjoy.

    Inside
    Light-filled living areas, indoors and out, look across the pool to the reserve and lake beyond. The beautifully appointed kitchen, complete with butler’s pantry, is made for holiday entertaining.

    Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, including a huge master with its own private balcony and views. You’ll also find two bathrooms, a separate powder room and a study nook.

    Outside
    The huge backyard has room for a family game of footy or cricket. It’s laid out so you can keep an easy eye on the kids while the grown-ups relax.

    Right outside your back gate
    Wander the island path to fish, spot the abundant birdlife, or catch a stunning sunrise or sunset. A few minutes away is the Yacht Club reserve, with a playground, BBQs, a lake beach and picnic areas overlooking the water. Saturday morning parkrun starts there too.

    Bring the boat
    The boat ramp at the Yacht Club is just 5 minutes away. Many guests moor in the sheltered lagoon behind the property or park their boat in our long front driveway.

This was my second time staying at the property and I couldn’t recommend it more, the owners of the house are lovely and have turned the house into a beautiful and comfortable stay, it’s in a perfect location to get to the lake and a nice 5-10 minute walk from the Sebel. Me and my family had a great time and would recommend it to anyone that is looking to enjoy a nice stay.

Holiday New Year Stay

The house & property are in a beautiful serene location. The house was very clean & offered all aspects of what is needed on a holiday stay, especially the outside spray misters & pool. The lovely surrounds with easy walks around Chinamans island & short walk to the Sebel for a morning coffee. Exactly what we were looking for. Great & easy communication with the friendly hosts.

Better than perfect!

We recently had an amazing 4 night stay over the Easter long weekend and we didn't want to leave! The house itself is somehow even nicer than what it appears in the pictures, and the communication with Jo felt like chatting to an old friend (which made staying in the house feel like home the second we arrived). It was quite possibly the cleanest property we have ever stayed in (hotels included!) and it felt like guests' every need had been thought of and catered for. On top of everything else, the location is absolutely fabulous - a short drive to town and a wonderful track at the back of the property for walking/riding along the lake to the Sebel for sunset drinks. We cannot wait to stay again.
