Stayed Apr 14, 2025We had a lovely family time here. The accommodation is a bit tired. The sleepouts are in need of repair. We were lucky with the weather - if it was wet, the living area would have been crowded. No wifi.It felt a bit pricey.

Stayed Sep 27, 2024Perfect place to stay with famy and friends for the Blue Lakes 24 hour challenge. We loved the flexible sleeping arrangements with two sleepouts. Kitchen is well equipped and the BBQ and deck was fantastic. Such a great location with amazing Bird life!

Stayed Mar 17, 2023Loved our stay. And true to its name there were fantails everywhere. The native busy around the house is amazing, and the adjoining park was such fun for the kids to freely run around. Would love to come back and explore the area more

Stayed Feb 7, 2022The weather was average but the house was loaded with games/books/Winter Olympics to keep us entertained! Great space for 7 adults and 1 toddler, I didn’t feel like we were tripping over each other. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
