Harriet English
Great house...we enjoyed all the birdlife and the quiet. Highly recommend for a long weekend
Kirsteen Mannington
Absolutely delightful home away from home! Very warm and comfortable and we could tell there had been generations of family holidays at this place. Our host was very easy to communicate with and we had plenty of room for our family of four along with grandparents too. Well equipped home in a perfect location to wander to the DOC centre and loop walking track to the lake front. Highly recommend and hopefully we'll be back again, thank you so much to both Georgia and Eileen.
