This is a classic three-bedroom holiday home located just one road back from the lakeside, in the town of Kuratau. Lake Living is spread across two stories to not only offer loads of space for everyone to stretch out but also to ensure elevated views of Kuratau. Whatever the season, Lake Living has a space that's ideal to unwind. Settle into the sheltered outdoor lounge nook protected from the wind and sun, tuck into a BBQ dinner on the spacious sun-drenched deck, soak up that Vitamin D with a cold drink in hand, or head indoors to keep cool. Imagine the whole family getting away together for some fun! Lake Living can sleep up to eight guests, with a maximum of 4 adults, making this just the spot for two families to get together for a summer holiday. In summer, bring along a ball and have a good game of one on one basketball, or a cheeky free-throw competition with the hoop on the driveway. When you want to head down to the lake, it's a quick six-minute walk, so make a plan to grab one of the kayaks and get out onto the water! For indoor entertainment on a cool mid-year day, there's a pool table downstairs which is a great way to have a bit of fun without a screen! When you wake up in the morning and you're craving a good barista coffee, head to the local Floating Rock Cafe, only a 10-15 minute walk away. Scope out their menu for a tasty bite, or make a plan to grab a pizza there later! Down by the lake, there is a fantastic outdoor play area and park; a great option for kids! Lake Living is ready to offer a slice of classic Kuratau charm! There are life-jackets available to use with the kayaks, but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety.The fold-out beds are only suitable for children to sleep on.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.Please note 2 children can be added upon request. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

Jan 14, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Wouldn’t stay there again We arrived to find the shower dripping into a bucket that was left to try and stop the noise from the drips hitting the plastic shower floor. Tried to get the tap fixed the whole 7 days we were there. Lots of apologies from the company but no action. The dishwasher was dead. Found out after loading it. The smoke detectors went off after midnight and needed batteries. ##### Tony M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce L.
