Shrouded by a lush littoral forest and neatly separated from the sea by Sandbar Beach, this is a family favourite for those eager to enjoy a spot of water-skiing, boating, paddling or windsurfing (the open lake waters making for a windsurfer’s dream!). With an impressive catchment area spanning 32 square kilometres and waterways of 11 square kilometres you can enjoy all the benefits of this unique, tucked-away calm waterway. However, should you feel a pull for the waves, the picturesque Cellito Beach can be accessed via a boardwalk at the northern end of Sandbar Beach. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Jetted bathtub - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa T. 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our extended family, including dogs stayed for a week. The house was perfect as three bedrooms had ensuites and a separate toilet in the large laundry, huge lounge - dining - kitchen area with plenty of comfy seating, large well fenced yard with more comfy furnishings, close to many beaches and fun activites. ##### Lisa T. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jo A. 9 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Holiday We came away with the family and really enjoyed the house and location. The size of living area and kitchen was great for everyone and having 4 toilets and 3 showers was fantastic! The size of the 4th bedroom was quite disappointing as we booked for 8 adults and realistically the 4th bedroom would have suited 1-2 toddlers…. Very unsuitable for 2 adults unfortunately. Also the shower in the 2nd bedroom flooded on the very first use so we had to open the drain cover clear the drain hole and leave it off for the week. Overall we really enjoyed our time away and would stay again if there were a couple less of us coming. ##### Jo A.
