Tom's place was beautifully presented and more polished than the rustic shack I was expecting. For some reason I hadn't realized it also had a view of the lake. So both were a bonus. However, although the surrounds were lovely surrounding the house, with gumtrees and rocky outcrops, the lake was much more desolate than we expected. We arrived in a heatwave (38.5 degrees elsewhere), but there was still a cold wind off the lake. We drove around looking for easy access, hoping for a walking track and swim, but neither was forthcoming. I imagine it has a beautiful bleakness in winter, and would be a cozy place to snuggle in beside the fire.
Thanks for sharing your place with us Tom
