We are a group of 6 adults; the house was amazingly spacious for all of us. Such an open relaxed feel in a great location on the lake. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds and lounges.
Great location close to many scenic attractions. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful location on the southern shoreline of Lake Illawarra. Access down driveway to two parking bays. Easy access to house. Well appointed with everything needed for our stay. Ensuite to main but must advise that the bed base is quite dangerous as it sticks out from the mattress and is made of timber which injured the occupants on several occasions. It needs to be replaced urgently. Airconditioning to living area. Laundry but lightglobe was dead! Great living area and view. Some light fittings are broken. Overall we had a great stay again with Stayz.

Property is located right on the lake waters and have nice setup of lounge area and outdoors. The bedrooms are considerably smaller and most importantly missing Air cons. No fans in the house as well. Another key missing things are Dishwasher and Clothes dryers. These are the life essentials these days and should be installed. The host/property manager is extremely helpful and does every attempt to fix the problems upon reported.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. I think there are a few small improvements that could be made that work make a huge difference. The walls are all a bit grubby and it could do with a fresh coat of paint to make everything feel a bit cleaner.
The kitchen facilities are all a bit old and worn and the knives are not very sharp or functional. The addition of a dishwasher would be good.
The window fittings in the bedroom are very sheer. So the light comes in very early.
However the view is spectacular and the layout of the house is wonderful.
We did really enjoy our stay and would come back again. Thank you

Peaceful and private location with a beautiful view of Lake at the back. It's almost always windy in the backyard due to the lake so if you want to make the most of the picnic table on the verandah It's a good idea to bring warm clothing. The house was clean and tidy with a working DVD player, fridge, freezer, stove, oven, kettle and toaster. The owner was easy to get in contact with and entry to the property and wifi connection were easy. Would definitely return

Lovely View
Good location, nice view. Comfortable accommodation.
Electric Flame Effect fire heated, but no flame effect, owner said the light doesn’t work, so could be fixed. There were no instructions for use, so we had to guess. Took me half an hour to google, but as it had no brand name, this was not helpful. There is a cover on the bottom that holds the controls, but as it’s older, the knobs and labels had worn off. Instructions for use of the oven are necessary. Again had to google how it works. The time has to be set on the oven clock for it to heat up. As it’s turned off at the wall, this resets each time new people arrive. Fridge light does not work. Didn’t like that the air conditioning was set to 23 and could not turn it up? It also turned off after we went to bed. It was cold in the house. The small bedroom heater that was supplied rattled and didn’t sound right, so we didn’t use it. Overall a nice relaxing stay but there are definitely some improvements that would have made our stay easier.

Great house for family members to have a holiday together. Location next to the lake was great with excellent water views. The sun shining into the living area lifted our spirits. Good bbq facility and outside recreation area suitable for a family holiday.

The view was great 10 out of 10There were no light bulbs in 3 of the lamps and the ceiling lights had light bulbs that did not workThe micro wave smelt awfulWorst thing was the state of the oven - totally disgusting and obviously has not been cleaned for a very long time. We tried to use it but it smoked badly with burnt on grease being presentThe frypans in the cupboard were also really dirty and greasy as was the shelf they was sitting onWe took food to cook in the oven but could not cook in the oven so went out to eat - which was not on our agendaThe toilet seat in the en suite bathroom was too small for the size of the looThe light inside the "pretend" fire did not work - it would have been nice on the cold wet night to sit and see some "flames"There was not a good enough list of the things that were in the kitchen ie tea towels and pantry itemsThe house was reasonably clean but the mattress protectors did not look invitingThere was no barrier around the back patio which would have eventuated in an accident if anyone had been too close to the edgeIf all the above were rectified the cottage would have been perfect and worth a second visitJust a case of attention to detail and undertaking regular inspections of the property to ensure that any guests would feel right at home.

Attention to detail was required, remote for air con batteries not working

There were no light bulbs in 3 of the lamps and the ceiling lights had light bulbs that did not work
The micro wave smelt awful
Worst thing was the state of the oven - totally disgusting and obviously has not been cleaned for a very long time. We tried to use it but it smoked badly with burnt on grease being present
The frypans in the cupboard were also really dirty and greasy as was the shelf they was sitting on
We took food to cook in the oven but could not cook in the oven so went out to eat - which was not on our agenda
The toilet seat in the en suite bathroom was too small for the size of the loo
The light inside the "pretend" fire did not work - it would have been nice on the cold wet night to sit and see some "flames"
There was not a good enough list of the things that were in the kitchen ie tea towels and pantry items
The house was reasonably clean but the mattress protectors did not look inviting
There was no barrier around the back patio which would have eventuated in an accident if anyone had been too close to the edge
If all the above were rectified the cottage would have been perfect and worth a second visit
Just a case of attention to detail and undertaking regular inspections of the property to ensure that any guests would feel right at home.
