    Fabulous location and set up for both families and groups of friends gathering for a long time catchup. Inside the house was spotlessly clean. Front door and entrance way need some attention re built up dirt around door frame.EVERYTHING you could think of supplied for a relaxing fun time. Beautiful outlook across lake...so peaceful . Quiet neighbourhood. Beds comfortable. Easy acess. Neighbourhood shops 1 km away.Fantastic time had by all. Highly recommend.

    Our stay as two families with teens at “Chilling Lakeside” was truly relaxing (mid Dec 2024). The booking process was easy, and communication with the gracious hosts was excellent. The house was well-equipped including entertainment for the adults / teens, good books and amazing views with stunning sunsets enjoyed by the jetty and around the firepit. Pelicans coasting along the water and friendly little ducklings were a joy. The nearby Coastal and Co takeaways had the best burgers and our trip to Caves beach (35min) was lovely. It was a memorable and relaxing stay.

    This house is even better than it looks on the photos, it is an ideal place to go if you want to relax with a book or board game by the lake, go for walks around the suburb, fish, kayak or visit the beach. I went with a group of friends and all 8 of us absolutely loved it. It is the perfect place for anyone looking for a peaceful get-away.

    We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and quiet for a restful getaway. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, and every detail made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Lucio and Julie were such great hosts, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. We all had a great time and can’t wait to book again for our next trip. Highly recommend!
