Excellent fit-out and perfect location

We really enjoyed our 2 days here despite the cool weather. The kitchen was amazing and had lots of extras. The only negative is that there is no table although there is one folding one outside that can be used.

Fantastic holiday bach

We had the best time here - it was such a relaxing place to stay. Everything was clean and tidy and the facilities were modern and cosy. The deck was a dream with comfy couches and a beautiful view to the reserve below. So close to the lake and the Kinloch store. Will definitely come again.
