Fishtales on the Lake was perfect. From the moment you arrive you feel relaxed and welcome. Hosts Kaz and Steve were very kind and helpful. The property is immaculate in prime location, with everything you need to feel comfy and "at home''. The lake is right at your doorstep for a dip and paddle on the kayaks(supplied) or if keen for the beach there are plenty of beach options within minutes. For those wanting pure relaxation sitting on the spacious deck and reading a book is also great.Best place to stay, look forward to staying at Fishtales again!
