Dec 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice accommodation The place had a great view of the lake and was a short 2 minute drive to the dog off leash beach. The owners where very accommodating when it came to dogs and had food bowls and a water bowl for canine companions. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place to holiday with their pets They also provided lots of extras like hair dryer and kitchen essentials. ##### Margaret O.

Clean and tidy. Well stocked kitchen. ##### Ted Q. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bronwyn O. Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 28 Koonawarra drive Hawks Nest The house was lovely and clean, kitchen well stocked. Lovely outlook over the lake, and reserve across the road was excellent for aging dog. Need a car to get to shops and beaches but this also meant that you are far from the maddening crowds (although it was very quiet this time of year). Hawks Nest is spectacular and has river, lakes and endless beaches. ##### Bronwyn O. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael M. Jan 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Riverside gem Great view of the Myall River from the front verandah. Great for a pre-dinner drink around sunset. A well stocked kitchen and plenty of room inside the house if you require a little privacy. Outdoor dining not an option. Backyard is very dog friendly. At least a twenty minute walk to Bennett's beach. We ended up driving to the flagged area. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Michael M.

The damp rid buckets were full of water and had not been replaced. Kitchen was tired and had utensils from the 70’s with roach poop throughout the cupboards. Location is within a residential area so don’t expect holiday friendly/welcoming locals. Good size home but hard to keep bedrooms cool in summer with only air con in the main living areas. ##### Jessica Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen C.
