The house was beautiful and there was so many activities for all different age ranges. The property managers were phenomenal to deal with. We will definitely recommend this property to others and we will be booking again for ourselves in the near future. 10/10. ##### Erin P.

Kitchen was especially superb, everything was clean and at our disposal. One of our guests was 76 years old and we would have been happier if there was a hand rail from the main floor to the downstairs bathroom ##### Ngalre T.

The home has everything needed for a wonderful holiday. Everything was set up perfectly, clean and obviously thought through by the owners in detail. The view and deck was amazing. Wildlife galore, lots of fish to catch if thats your thing and a lovely waterfront park. Parking was plentiful at the front with lots of space for the boat and cars. Our family wound down and lived the good life!! Perfect Holiday. ##### Riek R.

Its a beautiful home nestled in front of a lake and Helen & John have kept the property incredibly well. Everything in the house was of convenience and every amenity featured the house well. Loved the kayaks!! Our family had a great timing kayaking around the lake. In addition, the swing nearby was a great spot to sit and take in the beautiful scenery too. Beds were comfortable, showers were nice and hot and the kitchen had everything we needed. Having a BBQ and firepit made our holiday even more enjoyable. Thanks to Helen & John for being very good at communicating and making sure our stay was comfortable. If you are looking at a property to stay at, I'd highly recommend this one in Chain Valley Bay. Great property and shops very close by too!! ##### Esther S.
