We had such a great 5 nights. The kids barely left the pool but did go out kayaking once and enjoyed that too. The house is large enough that you can get away from each other as there are two living rooms. We ate upstairs on the deck using the bbq and looking out at all the lovely greenery. We did visit two beaches but could easily have stayed at the house with the pool! The house is not so done up that you feel nervous having your kids there but it is just the right amount of space and plenty of facilities to keep all ages busy or relaxed, depending on what you want. We did a big shop before leaving Sydney so the local shops were fine for any last minute top ups. I'm still thinking about floating in the pool - it was a really easy, fun family holiday. ##### Francesca J.

We had a perfect summer holiday, the house is spacious with lots of great/thoughtful touches. Excellent for groups or families - our teenager even enjoyed it, so it must be good - right? The location is fantastic, a short stroll through gardens to get to the lakeshore, and the local "Bowlo", a corner store, butcher and a bakery are only a 7min walk away. The pool was fantastic, we spent every day in it! The house is excellent for pets, as its fully fenced, and the owners have thoughtfully provided some doggy necessities in case you forget... The only caution I would suggest is for those with guests who may be elderly (parents/grandparents), or mobility limited - as the main lounge is upstairs (where the Air-Con & big TV are), but Kitchen and most bedrooms+bath are downstairs. We had an amazing week long holiday there, and we honestly didn't want to leave! We will return next Summer for sure...! ##### Deborah P.

The living area upstairs was especially nice with a lovely deck overlooking the tropical surrounds and the pool area. Beds were comfortable and kitchen very well stocked with everything you would need. Highly recommend for a family getaway. ##### Stephen A.
