How's the serenity! El Be lakeside bungalow
About this house rental
Gorgeous bungalow beautifully situated on the edge of the lake. Shady location on the north shore with exceptional views of the lake. Step off the balcony, across the lawn and straight into the water. Huge undercover area for relaxing and enjoying the expansive views of the lake. The bungalow accommodates four guests comfortably, two in the bedroom with a king-sized bed and ensuite, and two on single mattresses in the living room. There is an additional bathroom for your visitors. Fully air-conditioned (split systems in main living area and bedroom). Well equipped kitchen with gas cooktop, microwave, coffee plunger, blender. Weber BBQ on the balcony. Large flatscreen TV with VAST satellite TV channels. DVD player. DVD library. Access to Lake Bennett WiFi for an additional charge. Plenty of kayaks, paddles and lifejackets plus a big Canadian canoe. Check in from 2pm. Check out b y 12 noon. Keys are kept in a keysafe at the bungalow. We will provide you with the combination/code for the keysafe. We endeavour to keep costs down by asking our guests to bring their own sheets and towels, and to clean the bungalow before they leave. Cleaning equipment and supplies are provided. If you would prefer to pay for a cleaner please let us know and we will try to arrange a cleaner (subject to their availability) for the extra cost of $100. If you are unable to bring your own sheets and towels you are welcome to hire ours for an extra $11 per person which covers the cost of laundering. If a cleaner is required at the end of your stay the minimum charge will be $100 (for two hours). No pets allowed (sorry, lake rules). We recommend you bring drinking water (Darwin water or bottled water), as we have bore water which is high in minerals which isn't good for kitchen appliances like kettles and coffee machines (and some tummies).

Great place for kids to enjoy water sports, play and relax. The cabin was great in the wet season rains, plenty of space outside under cover.

A nice little cabin, tucked away at the end of the lake on the grass. Lovely new and very large carport/undercover area. Very well equipped with everything we needed. The view of the lake was beautiful esp. for sunrise and sunset.

Everything went very smoothly with our stay. The property manager communicated well. The property was better in real life than in the pictures. We were very happy. Great location on the lake. Excellent sunset views

Disappointing that stayz takes money from the customer in a “cleaning” fund yet the customer is expected to clean the entire unit including mopping the floors at the end of the stay.

Went for a weekend away. As a family of 4 everyone had a great time relaxing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, birdwatching & exploring. Easy to book, communication was excellent. Plenty of shade all day & large grassed area out front, perfect for families. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lakefront getaway.

What a wonderful location, absolute waterfront, lovely clear fresh water lake. Water temperature amazing. Enjoyed the swimming, canoeing/kayaking on the lake. Lovely walks, enjoyed watching the bird life. Didn’t want to leave. Thanks Sharon.

We stayed here for one night only as our holiday time was limited. It's in a pretty area and kayaking on the lake was fun.
The second bedroom with two single beds is small. The kitchen, dining and deck areas are great. We went for a meal at the Lake Bennett Resort where the food was not brilliant but ok.
We will stay here again next time we are in the NT.

To start this review of I’d like to start from the very beginning, for my 18th I was looking for a place where myself and two other friends could stay just to have little getaway and celebrate, that’s when we came across El Bungalow (bungalow 6) at lake Bennett. It truely is a stunning view of the lake and surrounding areas. When we arrived the place was clean and tidy which set a standard for what the place should always look like. The owner Sharon is a lovely person who kindly allowed myself and friends to stay there even though we were teenagers who she had no clue about. Overall was a great stay and communication with the owner of the place is absolutely no problem highly recommended if you’re look for a short stay.

We had a 2 night stay at the cabin for which Sharon provided lots of information on how things worked, house rules etc. The highlight was taking the many kayaks out on the lake. So very pretty and peaceful. We also enjoyed walking to the resort for the well priced dinners on a lovely deck with sunset lake views. Happy hour drinks 4-6pm also a bonus.

They had everything there in regards to crockery. The information set out was clear and easy to follow. We love Lake Bennet and love staying there. It's a perfect little cabin for a great weekend. I personally would pay more to not have to clean the cabin before I left, it could do with a deep clean but its Darwin and it gets dusty easily. We would stay again.
