## About this property

### Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

### Lakefront Gem - Kuratau Holiday Home

Nestled down a quiet cul-de-sac in the lakeside town of Kuratau stands this spacious and family-friendly holiday home, just waiting to be the perfect base for your next lake escape. Welcome to Lakefront Gem!  
  
You’ll feel right at home here at Lakefront Gem, offering a stunning blend of vintage and contemporary décor. When it’s time to unwind after a day packed with adventure, get comfy on the couch, share your holiday snaps on the complimentary WiFi, or flick on the TV, with the fireplace and a heat pump providing a toasty ambience.  
  
Four bedrooms sleep up to eight guests at this Kuratau accommodation, with two modern bathrooms and a washing machine ensuring ample comfort and convenience for your stay.  
  
With the lake right at your doorstep, there is ample room to park your boat, and with the boat ramp a two-minute drive away, you’ll be cruising around the lake for some water sports and fishing in no time.  
  
The kids will be able to run around freely as the property is fully fenced and they'll love the short journey to the local playground and tennis courts, just two minutes away by foot.  
  
Needing to stock up on supplies or feel like some takeaways? The Omori Store and Snappy’s Takeaways are a five-minute drive from home.  
  
If you’re looking for a fuss-free base packed with all the holiday essentials, Lakefront Gem is calling your name!  
As the property has direct access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.There are life-jackets available to use with the kayaks and paddle boards but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
