Would have stayed longer if we could. Suite was spacious and comfortable, appreciated the black-out blinds in the bedrooms. Deck and bbq were great. Michelle and Dave were great hosts. And we found out Michelle is a great cook and we ordered Chinese food take out from her which was delicious. Hotel Lake was a short walk away and really enjoyable.

Dave and Michelle have equip this place just like home - there is everything you need to be very comfortable (plus they were very accommodating to our needs - they even had a air pump to fill my son’s football!). The location is excellent with a view out of this world! It was very hot during our visit, so we really enjoyed the 3 lakes close by - Hotel Lake is within walking distance and Katherine Lake has a really nice beach. The Traeger pellet grill was the icing on the cake - we cooked most meals it and enjoyed our visits on the shaded balcony (which as a hammock)! ##### Alana K.

Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Garden Bay Stay When we arrived at the property we were greeted by one the owners who was super friendly, and it gave us all the wow factor with the views of the ocean and peacefulness. The problems we had with the property was the cleanliness of it. There was dog feces in the driveway throughout our stay as well as in the yard. The yard was not maintained and unkept looking, in which we never used it. The inside of the property was dirty according to our standards in which we spent the first hours cleaning. There was hair in the fridge, dirty floors including old nail clippings, garbage and recycling within the property which smelled. We washed all the dishes and anything we were going to use throughout the stay, including the fridge.There is no A/C in this property just some fans for each room which was pretty hot with the warm weather they were experiencing. The fan in our room was filthy so we didn't use it. As well the room we were in did not have a window, allowing for fresh air as well made us wonder is this was up to building standards for fire egress. The deck was great for sitting outside and the great area, kitchen and living room was great for sitting and chatting. Overall it was a nice property just needs a little cleaning and maintenance TLC. Would like to see a refund for the cleaning that we all had to do when we arrived. ##### Robert W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### barby p.

Aug 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Awesome. Simply awesome. It’s a great area and Dave & Michelle were marvellous. And Michelle is a helluva chef if you’re lucky enough to get a happy hour treat from her! So much to do and the accommodation is comfortable, clean and perfect for a getaway on the Sunny Coast. ##### Dustin C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Byron m. Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had an amazing stay in the suite! It was beautifully decorated, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals, which was a huge plus. The view from the suite was absolutely stunning — a perfect way to start and end each day.One evening, we decided to try the host’s catering company, TL’s Metal Catering, and the food was incredible. So convenient and delicious!We also spent time at the nearby lakes, which were easy to access and surprisingly warm — perfect for a relaxing day out.Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-equipped getaway! ##### Byron m.
