The house was lovely, large and comfortable, great cross-breezes so stayed cool and also great to have screens on all of the windows - very important. The views are lovely, great to have a large verandah, and two wonderful bathtubs with views of the forest from the tub. Local visiting magpies and parrots were also great. When there were some plumbing problems, Kate was very helpful and brought someone in for maintenance right away.
Both the forest around and the area down by the lake were lovely. The lake beach below is great for walking & exploring but is not a swimming, beach, mucky lake bottom, lots of weeds. There are beautiful beaches nearby but all require a car - Boomerang beach and Seal Rocks are especially lovely.
