    This has to be one of the best holiday homes we’ve ever stayed in. So welcoming, clean and comfortable. It was a heat wave when we arrived and the aircon had been left in for us so it was bliss walking into a cool home. Great water craft for lake activities. We are already planning another stay.

    We took Grandma for a lake change. Fantastic property for families. As pictured- with two king beds (comfortable), bunk beds with extra single mattresses, games, and enough room inside and plenty of room outside for good family fun. Kayaked and paddle boated the lake, swam, and sat enjoying the view. Friendly neighbours. Owner provided fantastic communication.

    The house was just so beautiful with the best amenities. Great location, about 5 mins drive to the main areas of Victor Harbour and grocery stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the kayaks and the comfortable beds. Cindy was an excellent host :)
