Set on a sunny and private section, in a quiet residential street with great outdoor entertaining. A home away from home, a place to relax and chill and enjoy time with those that matter the most. The house is super family friendly, private and plenty of space for everyone. The lake is an easy stroll down the hill and the Town Centre only a short distance away. Bring the whole family to this great place with lots of room for fun.

Bring the boat, kayak, bikes, fishing rod and a good book. Set across 2 levels, this wonderful property has just been renovated to the highest standard with you as guests in mind.

    A great local away from the busy areas of town but close enough to all amenities & surrounding attractions. Awesome views across the lake

    Great house, we had two families staying there. Good view of the lake, good sun, and especially liked the downstairs living area for kids to go down to whilst adults were in the living spaces upstairs. Would recommend and would stay again.

    The house was beautiful and clean and the views were amazing, the fireplace really topped it off to give it a real warm and cozy feeling. Kerry was awesome as we requested an early check in and he made it happen along with everything else. Also the beds were super comfy.
