We’d seen some negative reviews, and while the house is rough around the edge, we had a great stay and the kids loved the sheep, chickens, pool, basketball and tennis courts. The house isn’t in pristine condition, but it’s neat and tidy, comfortable and is in a beautiful location. The properlty manager was also very responsive and flexible with check-in’s ##### Jessica E.

Bedrooms, kitchen and living areas are tidy and well presented. The photos are not an accurate representation of the current property.

Watch the ducks. See the sheep sit around the fire pit. It is great. Watch the collie dogs that took me back to my childhood of sheep & wheat. Home is a bit outdated though if you want some quiet time, great. ##### judy q. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Shari F. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great family trip We had an enjoyable week at the lake house. The inside was neat, tidy & pretty well maintained considering the age of the property. The grassed area leading to the lake was a great area for cricket & soccer, and the family enjoyed fishing in the lake. We had 5 adults + 4 kids in the house and it was more than big enough. The pool was a good size & despite being a bit cold (it is not heated) the kids had a lot of fun. The spa took a while to heat but once it got going it was used constantly. The only down side was that some parts of the outside areas are in need of some maintenance & clean-up but apart from the BBQs & ping pong table it was all still useable. We would definitely stay again. ##### Shari F. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle L. 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful family time Our family loved our weekend at Highlands Lake House. Sam was amazing to communicate with. Location stunning. House had great atmosphere. We loved the log fire and fire pit. Highly recommend. Only comment would be to Stayz that it would improve information for people with additional needs if you listed each accessibility feature rather than just a generic ‘wheelchair accessible’ comment. (Eg step free access to different areas including showers etc.) if you provided hosts with different features to tick this would enable more accuracy and more ease with finding the right property for people with additional needs like electric wheelchair. ##### Michelle L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rebecca C. 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Unfortunately our stay posed a safety concern as there are no installed smoke detectors in the house at all. The first night the fireplace was letting out a lot of smoke as the wood provided was left in the wet, not stored well. luckily I woke up to the smoke and opened all the windows! There were brackets to hold them but none installed. Having stayed at this property 4 times over the last 5 years we always enjoyed it but the lack of upkeep or maintenance to the property has declined as many here have mentioned and the kitchen utensils are in a sad state. The aircon is in need of repair as the heating wasn’t really getting up to a warm heat at all. Location is great though and kids had fun but it hasn’t been up kept and photos do not match the current worn state as others have mentioned in their reviews. One bathroom contains extensive black mould on the ceiling as others have mentioned in their reviews. The internal spa bath no longer works or has the button pad installed. The cute but cheeky animals come right up to the house which is great but they do poo everywhere at the doorway. Still a lovely location and stay for families and kids with a great layout. ##### Rebecca C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly C. 9 Jan 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyable stay, however could do with a clean. Overall we had an enjoyable stay at Highlands Lakehouse. The kids enjoyed the pool the most. It was very refreshing in the hot weather we had during our stay. We had looked forward to using the spa too, however we were disappointed to find it was out of order. The property could do with a more thorough clean - while commonly used areas and items were clean, there were items that needed some attention - some of the leisure equipment, and most notably the BBQ which we decided not to use due to caked on grime. The house and kitchen were spacious and had beautiful decor. The grounds and lake were also very pretty, and it was nice to take a stroll around and also see the sheep and chickens. We had a very relaxing stay here. ##### Kelly C. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### JUDITH R. 17 Jul 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Photos of current Stayz ad are inaccurate The property wasn't clean; the basketball and tennis court were out of service and run down; the spa was not on at arrival and took over 24hrs for the spa to heat; no floor heating; bedding was not as stated; long-term rusted leaking roof in bathrooms required buckets to catch water; the fireplace was not cleaned; nothing to start a fire with; property not as described, photos of beautiful horse stables and horses are false. The manager offered a deposit credit to be used at a later date if no negative review is posted. ##### JUDITH R.

There were a couple of things that brought our rating down (the pool was really dirty and it looked like it had been a while since it was cleaned, and one of the bathroom doors kept coming off the hinge and falling on whoever was opening/closing the door) but overall, the property is great for families/friends to get together. ##### Audrey K.

The house is amazing and the barn was perfect for our daughters Sydney friends to come and stay with us. Everyone loved the farm and the animals.

Less than 25% refund. Government lockdown cost two pensioners more than they have ever lost in any situation in their whole lives. This was unfair and morally unacceptable. My advice is book another property. ##### Tony D.

Friendly manager. Our kids love to spent time at the front yard (beautiful garden) with 2 lovely pet dogs from the manager. We recommend this property for those who love quiet and fresh air. We will back soon one day! (The only things should be improved is the laundry. It was a bit messy with bed sheet cover in and out of the machine so we couldn't use it.)

Overall, we loved our stay and made good use of the property, but the property needs maintenance and felt a bit tired and dated. The pool area is under construction, but we made use of the spa anyway and the outlook from the back of the house is beautiful. The kids loved the animals, including the dogs! Unfortunately, there was also a rat resident in the kitchen during our stay, which was a bit of a shock! Overall though, we really enjoyed ourselves. ##### April E.

Milly and Rob made us very welcome and were always obliging and keen to make our visit memorable. The house was lovely! Enjoyed many fun times together cooking and wine tasting. The outside facilities were a great hit for kids and adults alike. The farm animals, pool, tennis court , fire pit and walks around the lake kept us all busy. Wonderful weather and many unforgettable memories of our time together. We will be back with bells on ! Thanks for sharing your beautiful property , Sue and Michael ##### Sue and Michael B.

Very disappointed. The pool was not under maintenance, it was a big hole where the pool was. BTW the pool is sitting on top of the ground in the front yard. No AC No fly screens. Poorly maintained not to forget all the things left behind in the fridge (which was broken), the bathroom and the bedrooms. Very expensive for the property condition. ##### Debbie P.
