This was a relaxing short stay in a very pleasant environment, just down the road from a nice club. We had the opportunity to eat out each evening and explore the area during the day. ##### Robert D. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wanda O. 13 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property in a quiet location The property is very well presented and spacious. There are lovely views to the lake from the living areas and balcony. The owner has thoughtfully provided everything one could want. The beds were comfortable and the back garden was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much. ##### Wanda O. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Carole R. 30 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great with chance of greater! A few instructions missing. Maybe just my fault, but did not register steep stairs inside (this should be flagged). Also lack of hair dyer or coffee maker (other than Expresso). Also unclear on whether ok to use kayak and how to open garage door. Otherwise, terrific! ##### Carole R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carole R. 10 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Heaven by the lake but now with an unforeseen plus one I am a repeat visitor to this lovely very private house, and would have expected to be informed the house is now shared with another (permanent?) resident downstairs. She’s a kindly older lady but this still significantly changes the privacy of the house - which to me, having to live cheek by jowl with my neighbours in Sydney, was one of its greatest features. It’s a big change. It made me sad also to see the balcony furniture cushions now disintegrating since my last visit. And I would recommend leaving instructions for the smart TV. It may just be me, but this is the 3rd time I could not get the set top box to work. Those things should either be easy for anyone, or leave instructions. It’s still a magic place but the magic’s a bit eroded which is such a shame ##### Carole R. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lyndall B. 12 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Getaway by the Lake House was large, spacious and clean. Nice view of the lake from the front balcony and good little shopping centre in walking distance. Beds were extremely comfortable. Kitchen area was well stocked with cutlery, crockery and utensils. Outside BBQ with Entertaining area, Foxtel and Netflix were a nice bonus. Only complaint was that we were unaware the dwelling was a shared one with someone living in a separate apartment underneath and I had to chase the owner to get the access code the evening before our arrival despite being told I would get it 24hrs before arrival. ##### Lyndall B.

Love the furniture and decor. It was clean and comfortable. A good place for a short break. Unfortunately did not get to use the kayak. ##### Gary C.

A short drive to Catherine Hill Bay, a beautiful beach with a dog friendly area. ##### Pip S.
