Thank you for a lovely stay
We came for a short getaway with family and had a really lovely time. The house was well kept and cozy. The deck has a lovely view and the large sun umbrella made it ideal for all day use. The gas bottle ran out but Johnny sorted this quickly with great communication. Would recommend :)

Great Location
Great place to stay, within walking distance of Lake and Marina. We all had a great time as a family as having the extra cottage was perfect for my daughters little family. Only downside was that the cottage had no hot water as it wasn’t working and we found John the rental manager to be unresponsive to messages we sent. Would definitely love to come back and stay here again

Kinloch paradise
Great place within a fab neighbourhood, 5 min walk to the lake. Unfortunately we stayed during wet weather so were unable to use the BBQ or the outdoor seating, but it looked lovely. Did have to pay extra for linen but I see they have a cupboard stocked full so thought that should be included as we paid a cleaning fee upon booking which usually includes bedrooms. But otherwise thoroughly enjoyed our stay, really responsive property manager when we locked ourselves out of the sleep out and this place was perfect for our group of 6.
