We didn’t receive the password to open the door before arrived . There is no telephone reception, so we have to drove back to the where we can make phone call to ring the host . A bit frustrating. Also on second day, Wifi run out of data, we have to drove to ring the host again.
The place is good, clean and nice setting with beautiful views .

Lovely property with everything you need for a homely stay. Just bring yourselves & your personal items. The location is great right on the water, fire pit to properly participate in Earth Hour and wildlife to keep a smile on your face. The King Parrots delighted us all weekend. Hosts are great too, good comms.

Right from the start it was a pleasant experience dealing with the property manager, he was super helpful and a great communicator.
The property itself exceed expectations it has everything you might need all the while being close to town but far enough away that you can really relax with minimal disruption.
I would recommend this property to anyone looking to escape to Lake Eildon for a family or just friends getaway.
