Nice big area spacious rooms.
Few bugs were in the house as it’s by the lake which is to be expected we kept the windows shut but they still managed to get in. There was also a some spiders webs and spiders inside.

Absolutely beautiful, hidden away spot. Extremely private. Unit was clean, big and had everything we needed.
Spa on the verandah, very relaxing. I didn't meet the ppl that ran it, but there was lots of communication. They were there if needed, though unit quite self sufficient. Will definitely be back 😀
Nothing.

lost property backup was exceptional
bedroom aircon not working, no resolution at all
4.0
It was nicely decorated and clean (other than the millions of mozzies and spiders that ocassionally come inside (!))
The ocassional black swan that swims by
Tank water that's not drinkable - ???
"Breakfast" was a DIY thing - albeit plenty of supplies
"Lake" was more of a swamp
"Retreat" means its hard to find and miles from any kind of shop or restaurant
"Spa" requires too much work, long instructions and braving mozzie ridden terrace next to swamp
"air con" needs to be reset every few hours by goong outside and flicking somethjng on and off
Shower has no screen so water goes everywhere (why? why ?)

the tranquility, peace and quiet! it’s a beautiful spot!
after paying $486 for a night, on New Year’s Eve we couldn’t find an Iron to Iron our cloths before we went out for dinner. asked Bec and she said she could bring an Iron in the morning! well too late because we were checking out in the morning! it wasn’t much pleasant to go out with wrinkled cloths on NYE! I cancelled the dinner in the hotel, and we just went out. kind of ruined our evening.

Beautiful accommodation, private and spacious. Breakfast provided. View from the hot tub is awesome. Bed is very comfortable
Smell from the Septic tank can be overwhelming at times if sitting outside or using the BBQ.
Fridge is a small bar fridge.
Some traffic noise from the highway.
9.0
The location was great. Bec was great at communicating and gave us great direction and information.
I wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the spa and location but it was only a stop over.
There was lots of bugs inside the cabin. We had to spray all the rooms with bug spray and it was quite dusty.
It was pretty difficult to find in the dark.

Liked the surrounds and the wildlife and birds.
Traffic noise from highway; sheets had not been changed; lack of hooks in bathroom.

The spa was great. Was only there one night on our way through but could easily have stayed longer. Really private.
We got a little lost because it was dark. We just didn't interpret the directions correctly. Totally our own fault.

Great location, very clean,
Excellent communication before we got there, we had an issue with hot water not working, after contacting them they were out to fix it in under 10min, very friendly people.
This was only an overnight stop off on our way through but would definitely consider coming back for a few days.
highly recommend !!
Everything was excellent !!!

A beautiful holiday home, tastefully decorated. Very serene ambience by the picturesque lake. The spa with a view was most relaxing. Emerald Beach is stunning and only a 3 min drive away. Would love to re-visit for a longer stay as we only stayed one night.
