The host were friendly and made us feel right at home straightaway! She showed us the house and got the kettle and heater up. The beds and lounge were also super comfy, in a peaceful and tranquil location next to the lake. The kids loved the animals and got to feed the kookaburras, watch wild parrots take a bath and were very excited when they got to see Magaret's domestic parrots up close and fed them too. We would definitely recommend staying here and would return one day, hopefully to see the baby parrots! Be sure to try the Mexican or pizza restaurants in emerald beach.
