Parking for vehicles and boat great
Newly painted property was fresh and clean. Being able to lock up skiis, wakeboard, jackets, wet suits, paddleboard etc in shed was fantastic. Shed secure and lovely and warm to dry out gear. Kitchen well resourced with a lovely big fridge and new oven. Overall a pleasant stay with good car/boat parking. A second bathroom would be perfect as my daughter said I woke her each night creeping down the hallway, however we would stay again at this property.

Fantastic, spacious and well equipped property
We had a great time at this property. The owners were very proactive with communication. This property is very well equipped and has a large decking area (bigger than the photos indicate) which is great for family meals. The garage also offers plenty of room for storage. The house has had work done on it recently and it is quite presentable and tidy. Great spot for family get away - thanks to Bruce and Sally for helping us have a great Christmas break!
