    We spent three weeks at Karen’s place. She was very helpful and everything went smoothly. The neighbor hood is very quiet but also walking distance to the shops. The beds and linens were clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and there is aber

    Karen's place was situated perfectly for us. Not right in the middle of the busyness of Ocean Grove but only a 10 min walk to shops and 15-20 to the main beach. House was clean and really well set up for teens and parents with a well stocked kitchen and nice garden and decking to enjoy the outdoors.

    This property is better up close than the online listing leads you to believe. It is open, light, airy and beautifully tasteful. It's setting is lovely in that it looks across to the lake which is a favourite for bird life in the area. The Magpies visiting daily for a bit of mince was an absolute highlight. The property also has a lot more utensils and appliances in the kitchen than most properties we've stayed at which makes it fabulous if you like to cook sometimes while away. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay with a very welcoming owner to tell you how to get the best from it.

    Our stay was so relaxing. Most nights spent enjoying BBQs on the spacious deck and our dog loved the established garden with plenty of shade. Plenty of living areas for kids and adults to have their own space. highly recommended Karen was a fantastic host.

    We had a very relaxing weekend stay. House is close to the lake so we enjoyed the view and walks around the perimeter. Karen was a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely come back again.

    This property boasts privacy and space with two large living areas, large bedrooms and great entertaining outdoor area. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay and would not hesitate to book this house again. The upstairs loft bedroom has amazing views of the river. Lovely gardens surround with a view from each window, we even had a little possum visit us among the vines. The decking with large table and seating was perfect for BBQ dinners. Thank you Karen for a memorable stay.
