    Driftaway was a wonderful place to spend a week with a mixture of friends and family. So much to do if you wanted an active holiday and so many spaces to relax if you wanted to just unwind. The kitchen was the best equipped holiday rental kitchen I've stayed in- I love to cook so it was an absolute joy.

    Beautiful house and layout. Communication with host was excellent. I just wish i knew how steep of a hike it is to go down to the water. Bad knees, bad back, bad ankles, found it very hard to get to the water.I still highly recommend though, as its a beautiful place and even if you can't make the walk down to the water, you can access the water easy enough around at frothy coffee cafe.

    We didn’t have great weather but the view is amazing and unaffected by weather. There are plenty of indoor activities to keep everyone occupied until the sun comes out again.

    We booked this house for the whole family to come together and celebrate my father's 70th birthday. There were 7 adults and 3 kids (ages 3-10). The house is very well equipped for kids, with lots of toys and games included. This was great, as it meant we had a lot less stuff to pack. The view over Smiths Lake is incredible, and can be taken in from the large outdoor deck. The kitchen was very well equipped, and there were a couple of pantry staples available (e.g. salt/pepper). The house is in reasonable condition, but it's definitely a holiday home and has been well used. This isn't a negative, again considering it's targeted at families with kids. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to large families, or perhaps a couple of families looking for a combined place to stay.
