The Booti Booti Lakeside Chateau was a much enjoyed residence for us over 8 nights! Ken has truly excelled in providing a great home, in a beautiful location with amazing amenities. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook amazing meals - with all cooking utensils and bake ware provided. Condiments do need to be purchased, but that's no biggie.
A Nespresso machine with supplied pods is available if the local coffee haunt 'Country Palings' is not open, which saves the ~10 min drive into Bluey's Beach or Forster.
We loved using the water equipment provided for the lake, including a few SUPs and kayaks, and our toddlers loved paddling in the water as well ( the lake is shallow enough to sit in) We took a picnic blanket and some drinks down and stayed for a while in the afternoon.
Hot Tip: Make sure you take insect repellent with you, as the stairs back up feel a lot more than on the way down!
The common areas are huge, and can accommodate large families and multiple couples. We loved the kitchenette in the mornings when the little ones wake early and the study/playroom. Lots of TV's, with Netflix provided. The views are to die for, with views of the lake from two bedrooms and all living areas.
We didn't have too many issues locally in these Covidnormal times, but be prepared to sign in at all locations visited, to book in at locations of desire, and for some waits for tables if venues don't take bookings.
The best part of all? Ken's communication, recommendations and hospitality. We would not hesitate to re-book. Thanks heaps, Ken, for a lovely stay. Two thumbs up!
