We really enjoyed our stay at Lakes Escape over the June long weekend. The house was warm and inviting and very comfortable . We stayed as a family with our small dog and loved how “escape proof” the yard was - both the front yard and rear yards were securely fenced and our dog really enjoyed the freedom to run around and we appreciated the peace of mind that she was safe and couldn’t escape.
The house was ideally positioned across the road from the lake and a very short drive to other areas such as Smiths Lake, Blueys Beach and we took a short 15 minute drive to Seal Rocks which was so picturesque. We were lucky to have perfect winter weather - sunny and cool - and we took full advantage visiting beaches and even driving up to Forster (about 25 mins by car). We could imagine how fabulous it would be to visit in the warmer months and swim in the lake right across the road or at one of the many pristine beaches. Our dog just loved the long walks and new places to explore!
The hosts thoughtfully provided all linen and towels, and there was even an outdoor dog bed and dog bowls. We enjoyed the bbq area at the back of the home which was in full sun during winter and the bbq worked really well. We brought all of our own food as there are no large supermarkets nearby, and appreciated the pantry staples provided by the hosts (oil, condiments, flour etc) which I often forget to bring with me.
The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you need including a nice big fridge and dishwasher. Sleeping is not hard as the beds were comfy and the area is lovely & quiet. We genuinely enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again one day.
