Beautiful place. Perfect for group of 11. We took some equipment with us (toasted sandwich maker and airfryer) which eased reliance on the provisions to cater for 11, although found it to be a well equipped kitchen. Also games provided in the house. Kate was so helpful and easy to communicate with. A kayak, or maybe both, was cracked and letting in water, no plug in one base. Managed ok because adults/strong swimmers but important to be aware for others. Friendly locals chatting while we sat by lake and enjoyed watching their dogs play.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2025
The location is ideal, the lake and the proximity were stunning, the kitchen is well appointed. However, the property requires maintenance, the gutters are full of debris and overflow with rain, the toilet door gets stuck securing the user with in, downstairs there is a significant damp problem, pillows in the wardrobes are mouldy. The Televisions are difficult to use to the point we gave up. The kayaks provided did a good job at sinking. The property states it sleeps 12 there are only 10 beds - there is a sofa bed down stairs - sleeping on the tile floor would have been more comfortable. The balcony railing was attached to the decking boards and was wobbly . Given the price of the property and the fact I had to pay extra for the children despite there being no linen supplied I expected more.

Stayed at by the lake @ Smiths for two nights for a work trip. Lovely place with plenty of room and a stunning outlook. Close to a great cafe (Frothy's) down the way too for morning coffee. Kate the manager was excellent and a pleasure to deal with.

Location is good, kids enjoy the kayak. If you don’t mind too much cockroaches, it should be a good place.
