The Lakehouse

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. The property fit us all really well - two couples with two children each under 4. The kitchen was really well stocked, the house itself was a good layout and the location was good. A huge disappointment however was how hot the house was. It was honestly miserable being inside the house in the day time, and not much better at night. We were there on days that varied between 25 and 30 degrees. The house only had two small fans there - luckily we brought two of our own otherwise we probably would have needed to purchase some. We had all the windows opened but couldn’t even have the front door opened because there was no fly screen so it was unsafe for the kids and let moths and flies in. The whole house was carpeted which didn’t help with the heat either. Another thing to note if you’re thinking of taking young children is that the backyard is not fenced. The house also needs a bit of maintenance, the bathroom door didn’t lock and the BBQ had two burners that were not working. Overall the house itself was pretty good. In reality, the heat made the house really unpleasant so I wouldn’t book here again. A couple of ceiling fans or a split system would’ve made our stay much more pleasant.

Have you ever stayed in a holiday home where the kitchen knives are actually sharp? That's the level of consideration put into this accommodation. Someone actually tried to provide what you need, and it's refreshing. The home is comfortable and spacious, clean and very well appointed. Literally the only thing we couldn't find was a tea towel and oven mitt. There's even staples in the pantry, like vegemite, tomato sauce, crackers and so much more. Even without air conditioning, the whole home cooled down in the evening with the windows open (in January) and there's fans in the closet. Would recommend highly.
