Amazing host, amazing property.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2024
The Lake House is an excellent spot to get together with friends and family. Plenty of room for everyone, excellent views across to Goose Island. An abundance of mosquitoes kept the deterrents close by, but that is the price you pay for being so close to the lake. The bedrooms could use ceiling fans or something to move the air around on those really hot nights. We struggled a bit for fridge space with a party of 10. If you were there for more than 3 days you might have trouble keeping everything cold. Didn't use the slow combustion heater, but it looked warm.
I wish we could have stayed longer.

Clean and comfortable stay for the whole family. The kids can run around, catch fish, sit around an outdoor and indoor fire, sit on the deck with your morning coffee watching the day go by. In the evening, sit on the deck, play games while having a bbq, drink some local wines from Longhorne Creek all while the kids can enjoy themselves in a safe environment.

There are a few creases to iron out with this property, but with a bit of experience and feedback this host will have a gem to offer.
Things to improve on:
-Make sure there’s a change of gas bottle on site. We ran out midway through cooking on the second night.
-bedrooms could do with fans for airflow on the hot nights as they don’t have air conditioning (only in the living area).
-allow more toilet paper for 16 booked guests. We ran out 2 days in.
There was no linen supplied for our 16th guest and luckily had some in my sisters caravan.
-the decking area had a stunning view but the actual deck needed some TLC, so too did the little garden out the back.
