A simple house with everything you need. Lovely outdoor spaces, close to beach and lagoon for all your water needs. We feel at home and instantly relaxed We absolutely love Wisteria Cottage and are completely happy. Stayed 15/02/2023 to 22/02/2023 ##### Liz h. ### 10/10 Excellent #### simon 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication What an amazing location!! Right on the Lagoon, kayaks provided with the house. Short stroll and your on a Dog friendly beach. Only a few minutes walk to the local shops, cafes and surf life saving club. Layout of the house is perfect, with a newly renovated bathroom Front yard is fenced and perfect for dogs, the back yard has an enclosed bbq/patio looking over the Lagoon. No WiFi but it does has a small TV with DVD player. Kitchen is functional but needs a renovation. Access is provided to laundry at rear of bungalow (no bungalow access) with washer/dryer, toilet and shower. This is also where the paddles and life jackets for kayaks are kept. We loved our stay here, even when the weather is bad or windy there is still so much to do. Treat yourself and book a stay! ##### simon Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz h. 2 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Instant relaxation Third stay at wisteria cottage and planning another in a couple of months. The property is exactly as shown. While the front yard to the street is lovely and (unlike most other properties near by) extremely private, the back porch looking out to Cochrane Lagoon is where we spent most of our time. It’s a minute walk to the swim area of the lagoon and a great spot for paddling around. Another 2 minute walk across the beach to Copa beach. The property has everything you need for an easy stay - just be aware that coffee maker is aldi so many pods don’t fit it. The rooms are comfortable (and so is the main bedroom bed). The whole property is fenced (also unlike most local properties ) which is perfect if you are taking your pup or have young kids. Locally you can pick up stuff at the local shop and there are a few good restaurants. There’s a great seafood co-op on the road to Macmasters too. As the title says, for us it’s instant relaxation time and we love it there. ##### Liz h.

Dog loved it as well! Even had a nice picnic in the front yard! ##### Jess B.

Something for everyone with easy access to the lake, beach and dog friendly beach area. Great to be able to use the kayaks. It helped that we had great weather. The house was neat and tidy and met all our needs. ##### Fiona L.
