Secluded getaway with the Magpies.
This property is better up close than the online listing leads you to believe. It is open, light, airy and beautifully tasteful. It's setting is lovely in that it looks across to the lake which is a favourite for bird life in the area. The Magpies visiting daily for a bit of mince was an absolute highlight. The property also has a lot more utensils and appliances in the kitchen than most properties we've stayed at which makes it fabulous if you like to cook sometimes while away. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay with a very welcoming owner to tell you how to get the best from it.

Beautiful place to relax
Our stay was so relaxing. Most nights spent enjoying BBQs on the spacious deck and our dog loved the established garden with plenty of shade. Plenty of living areas for kids and adults to have their own space. highly recommended Karen was a fantastic host.
