The process from A to Z was smooth, perfectly equipped property catering for the whole family:
Canoes
Bikes
Snooker
WiFi
Etc.....
A small point to be made, I would've preferred to know in advance that the house is a duplex, hence we felt we had to be ultra quiet because we didn't want the neighbours to complain from the kids noise in the games room at night etc....
Regardless, a perfect pet free (no pets allowed) property because my kids have allergies.
I WOULD BOOK AGAIN

I went there with my parents and three kids. Each room has its own air conditioning which is perfect for us. The kitchen has everything we need. We spend most of our time playing pool game dues to the wet weather, couldn’t enjoy the jetty and the backyard. Everything is perfect except the sound insulation isn’t very good, as upstairs bedroom can hear clearly the noice from downstair. (Except the lake view bedroom) the TV in the lake view bedroom isn’t working and the Wifi signal isn’t very stable. But I will still give it a 5 stars rating as the location and every other things are very good!

The property was very well appointed and ticked all of the boxes. There was so much to do, the children were busy all of the time. They really enjoyed a visit from a brush tailed possum who loved our avocados. We would love to have another visit and thank you very much for a wonderful holiday

We had a wonderful stay at the house and area. Plenty of fishing at backyard and lovely fire place. Close to bottle shop and petrol station also so easy to buy the firewoods. Overall house was well maintained and good working order. We didn’t find any faults and no one whinged about anything.

7 of us good friends came for a kayaking weekend.
The location was perfect and despite the rain we got out on the lake for a short time all of the 3 days.
The firepit in the evening was nice to relax around and warm tired muscles.

We had a relaxing and amazing time with the family and grand kids on our wedding anniversary. The house is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped, giving everyone the privacy they needed, as well as accommodating for family time and activities. The view of the lake is relaxing, quiet, beautiful and we enjoyed the BBQ, fire pit, kayaking and games room. Thank you, Lucio & Julie, for a wonderful stay.

I was thinking of a place where we adults can sit back and relax and the kids can play and enjoy themselves. As soon as I came across this beautiful property which comes with a view and all sorts of amenities for kids (and adults), I knew I needed to book it. I wasn't wrong! From the moment I booked, the host was very responsive. He accommodated all our requests. The house was presented as described in the ad. Everything was very clean and tidy. All the amenities were there as mentioned in the ad. Kids were busy with board games, scooters, and bicycles, while we had a relaxing time at the back patio overlooking the beautiful lake. We tried the canoe and it was fun. The pool table and the dirt board were good time pass at night as well. Overall it was a much-needed break we were looking and we enjoyed it thoroughly! Thank you again to the lovely hosts :)

We spent 3 nights during the Easter break! It is a perfect place with young children, clean bedroom, beautiful lake view! The only thing is no shampoo there better to let us know as we assume there will be. But overall it is a amazing place to stay with reasonable price, highly recommend to family!

The house was perfect. The bedrooms were immaculate and beds were excellent. The outdoor space was fantastic for all weather. You could sit in the shade, move to the sun, watch the sunset sitting beside the water, fish off the little jetty, sit by the firepit - the list goes on. The supplies in the kitchen were the best we have had with a full drawer of wraps etc, all utensils and crockery - everything you need. Stove, cooktop, everything worked perfectly. The owners communication was accurate and timely. The small town had everything you need within a short walk. Highly recommended.

Spacious house with plenty of things to do or just relax. Loved the direct access to Lake for fishing and kayaking.
3.0
The space in the house is great with plenty of room for everyone, nicely decorated. The little touches like books/dvds, labels, instructions, cooking staples and teas/coffee are appreciated.
There are a few things with the stay, though, that we were expecting to be of a higher standard given the accommodation cost.
Weren’t expecting stay to be a duplex, with some shared areas incl jetty which wasn’t transparent on your ad.
Front screen door does not shut and can’t be locked.
Kitchen: many items for use were not clean. We washed crockery, cutlery and glasses before being comfortable using them. Chopping boards were mouldy. Coffee machine dirty and milk frother burnt milk inside. Cracked wine glass. Many bowls and plates were chipped. Broken and sharp drawer in fridge. Microwave very old. Good to have cooking staples, but pepper empty, salt and Vegemite out of date.
Dining living. Couch very dusty. White chairs dirty and covers need washing.
Vacuum cleaner filthy like it has never been emptied. I discovered this when I went to vacuum the couch.
Garage. Helmets broken. Bike flat tyre. Tennis racket bent out of shape. Pool x cue broken. Paddles old and cracked.
All beds were made but the heavy quilts were not right for the season.
Ensuite. Foul smell. Sink and shower taps drip. Shower door handle broken and a sharp metal one in its place. Ensuite door does not close properly.
Second bedroom door does not close. Bunk bed wobbly/loose.
Third bedroom. Bunk wobbly. Very dusty behind and under bunk.
Bathroom. Sink and bath taps leak. Toilet runs. Cockroaches in bathroom and other insects.
Fourth bedroom. Bookshelf books dusty.
Cigarette butts in fire pit.
We didn’t expect or need any of these fixed during our stay, but they are things we should not have encountered. Professional cleaning $250 fee needs to be addressed.

Thank you to our hosts, very friendly and answered any questions I had promptly.

The property is gorgeous. Our family of six plus two grandparents were completely comfortable. The owners were friendly and supportive, and everything we needed for a short stay was available. My only complaint is that our stay was not long enough! We will definitely be back!

We loved the stay at Chilling Lakeside. The house was clean and tidy. It was well equipped with plenty of heating. Lucio answered every query I had almost immediately. Our family loved staying there and we esp enjoyed the firepit. Maybe if some wood was left for the first night. Luckily the servo was open and we could get some wood. Our oldest granddaughter found the WiFi password. If it was also written in the book it would be good for us older ones. Your house is lovely. Thank you Lucio and Julie
