The beds were so comfy and it was so peaceful. I loved waking up to the water views and having my cuppa on the deck. Everything that we needed was here. We would love to come back and stay longer! ##### leasa Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth T.

Steep block but was great having jrtty and use of kayaks. Kids loved the kayaks. Everything just like the shown on Stayz. ##### Elizabeth T.

Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Nice Place to Relax We had a five nights stay at Fishing Point this Xmas with grandparents and a friend’s family. A great thing for this property is multilevel living spaces which can accommodate large and diverse groups like us. The main bedroom, a suite and the living room have unblocked direct Lakeview. The house has a private jetty and a perfect fishing hut. Those were the best of this place. Though there were kanyaking equipment provided we found it near impossible to actually use them because the maximum weight it was designed for was only 60 KG and is a one seat only and the ones in my group who wanted to use them were either overweight or too young to be by themselves. So the kids were a bit disappointed. Also the current in most days were too rough to support a return so it would become a one way journey anyway. Also the property doesn’t provide garage and the driveway is a deep slope. It had been hard for us to load and unload the car. Another thing is the house has a lot of quite deep stairs so definitely not for anyone with knee problems or less mobile. The location of fishing point means it will take about an hour drive to go anywhere near a beach because you have to drive around the lake. We didn’t know that and only found out when we were there. Besides all those. we had a nice Xmas there and the neighbours are very welcoming and the kids watched Santa came by boat and surf which are so special. Yes one more thing is I would suggest you bring your own kitchen knife. ##### Serena H.
