JocelynRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What a lucky find this is! You instantly feel relaxed as you enter- the smell of the timber, the coziness of the space, a liittle home away from home. The kids love the bunk bed! Everything you need is provided-I love the fact that they use eco-friendly products, and encourage composting/recycling. Both Deborah and Ian have been super helpful, if you do have any questions. Happy to chat with you if you've got the time, and even shared some limes and chilies with us (went great w our ceviche! Thank you!). A great location- short walk to the beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay- it's just what we needed.

Chalet #3. Lakeside, on beautiful grounds.

LindaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

When we opened the front door, we were amazed by the how close we were to the lake. We were thankful to have a grey, cold day…to light the fire, make a cuppa and watch the world go by outside. We woke to the sound of wind and when we looked out the bedroom windows, the ducks were riding the white caps on the lake. Do yourself a favour and book more than one night…it’s the perfect place to unwind
