Well appointed lake house

We found this an excellent size for 4 adults. The kitchen was well stocked and the ensuite bathroom was very handy. The over sized back deck was great.

Lovely Lake Vacation

We spent a lovely Easter break at the Little Blue Lake House with family. The house was very neat and clean with all the amenities required for a perfect long weekend. A large fenced in yard for our fur babies too! Everything was in walking distance, the Lake, shops and Bowling Club.

Beautiful spot in a quiet relaxing setting.

Lovely town to stay at with all amenities close by. Close to the water and also an inviting nature walk. However the house was quite small for the amount of occupants. Also we had no bins for 3 days as they were full from the last holiday makers.

Cosy, comfortable home in quiet area

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 6 adults, 1 toddler & 2 small dogs spent a relaxing weekend. It was a good base for us to check out the area as thinking of moving up at way. The home was immaculately clean. Kitchen well appointed. Lovely deck and plenty of seating space. Quiet peaceful location. Checkin very easy. Gardens/Lawn well maintained. Bathrooms modern but small. The 2nd bathroom is located at the back of the 4th smaller bunkhouse room which is where we put the Baby in a portacot. Ceiling fans in rooms without Aircon would be nice as would some nice body wash. Close to the Lake and nice plae to walk the dogs. Handy to the LM area.

Beautiful property and location - needs a really good clean

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely time in Gwandalan, as the property was in great proximity to the local shops, club and water. We were however disappointed in the price, due to the u cleanliness of the home and maintenance of some items(we have pics and will forward to property management), i.e. dead cockroaches, unclean utensils in drawers and leftover food crumbs and used alcohol and dirty tray in oven upon our arrival. We also accidentally left $50 on the dining table, and no one contacted us to let us know or to offer to return this to us, which was also disappointing.

Family Xmas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house suited us perfectly and was nicely appointed. The location and space was great and with the lake as a backdrop, almost everything was perfect. It was really disappointing that the house didn't have wifi. My fault for not double checking but my recent experience has been that wifi is offered as standard. Maybe something to consider for a property costing over $500 per night

One of the best places we've stayed

Place was amazingly clean. All supplies provided were close to new (especially in the kitchen). We were there on the public holiday and owner still took time to respond (prompt communication). Highly recommended.

Great Location.

Overall condition of the accomodation was very good. But, the pictures on Stayz were not the exact size of the accommodation (for example, the kitchen/ oven was much smaller than the pictures advertised). It was walking distance to shops and very convenience.
