Relax & catch up with friends or family. Reconnect with friends and family over drinks in-front of a fireplace like no other. Toast marshmallows (that we supply as a thankyou gift), laugh, chat, play pool, table tennis or cards in this amazing space all while cooking your food in a purpose built large communal kitchen. If cooking is not your thing then get some tasty peninsula takeaway. With a gorgeous view of the sunset, an outdoor alfresco area with fire pit and plenty of space. If you need to unwind, relax in the most epicically beautiful bath. The space This property was made originally in the 1970s from reclaimed materials. Every brick, doorway and window had come from another property. The cathedral ceiling trusses were reclaimed from the old Masonics hall in Franskton. Let degrade over the decades, this property was purchased, lovingly renovated and reclaimed yet again over 4 years and turned into the beautiful lodge. Guest access You have access to the full property up until the end of the building. We ask that you do not go down the driveway as it tapers downhill. The back section of the property is out of bounds until this is finished but don't worry. You still have plenty of space. The paddocks and chickens are viewable from the lodge but these too are inaccessible to guests too. Other things to note It is recommended to bring lots of firewood. We supply a box full and have cut wood that can be used at an additional price. We will be accessing the back of the property occasionally while you stay. As it is a very large space, heating is difficult away from the fire place so remember your layers and warm woolies in the colder months. the pool is available in peak warmer months from Nov- April. This is an older country rustic estate that has its quirks but it is homely, comfy and uniquely special. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Optional golf privileges - Table tennis - Basketball nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,229 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Additional charges apply for cleaning if house is not back to original state.

Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David H. 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Overall up keep. The house overall up keep is very poor. Every surface was dirty and dusty, with cobwebs dangling down to the top bunks. The property didnt seem looked after well what so ever. The outside of the property smelled bad and the backyard was unkept. We left the property cleaner than we found it. The equipment for the table tennis table and pool table was on it's last legs as well. The power was cut at 10 despite check out being at 11. The kitchen and bathrooms were nice. For close to 2 grand for a one nights stay I excepted more care for the property. ##### David H.

Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Linh N. 6 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Ms Thi The kitchen and bathrooms have almost everything we need. There are a lot of things for the little kids and teenagers to play with; however the house has no air conditioners and no fan in the main living room, yet we stayed there on 2 very hot days (30C degree) so my brother had to drive all the way home to bring portable fans and air conditioner there (he had to be in the car for 6 hours in total that day). I think it would be better if the owner installed fans or air conditioners in the main living room. ##### Linh N.

Easy to stay together. Big open spaces so we could all converse & dine together. Plenty of activities and games for us to utilise. Had the best time and the host was awesome and accommodating to all our needs. ##### Ellenye M.

The leisure centre with the pool was awesome. The owner was very helpful. We were group of 13 Kids enjoyed their games and very convenient to super market and so close to beach. Fully recommend to everyone. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ##### Sohinder S. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael G. 2 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Great place, Poor communication Kat was nice in person, and the facilities and location was great overall, however there are some areas that could be improved Communication was frankly very poor. As examples - I messaged if we could check in early and did not receive an answer. The text chain was essentially "are we able to check in at 12 instead of 2 on Saturday?". And the reply was "I am running a workshop on Friday." ... So maybe that means no but it's not really a direct answer and it's pretty easy to say yes or no to a simple and common request - the host said she tried to called me to discuss extra fees for linen but couldn't get through. Given I have no voice messages, missed calls, or texts of any kind even when calling message bank this is not particularly believable. Even giving her benefit of the doubt and saying she has tried to call, this means she has tried once and didn't try again, and also it means she has wanted to contact me but then didn't bother texting in the app even though we had already had a text chain. Lastly, there is a 25 fee per bed on top of the listed price if you want linen provided. This is not very easy to find in the listing at all, so aside from being overpriced to provide bed sheets, it feels quite dishonest as it's buried in the fine print. Basically it would not be hard to make that more visible and obvious.Finally, there is no fan/AC in the main living space so it can get quite hot. ##### Michael G.
