Amazing location + facilities
This property was amazing, incredible location just a really short stroll to the lake and the shop. House was overall really clean - the only minor detail was the duvets look like they could do with a refresh. Bathroom and kitchen were great. The extra little amenities that you have thought of - were incredible - we took as much as we could - but actually alot of the little extras were there - which was so helpful. Added bonus with the off street gated parking for the jetskis! We will absolutely stay again!

Little gem in Kinloch
This ticks all the boxes, especially with young kids who love the bunks and proximity to the lake. We’ve stayed her for 2 years in a row now and we love sitting on the deck and listening to the whistling poplars at night. Really sets the tone for a lovely holiday.

Beautiful well appointed unit with everything you need and more. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our two boys (9 & 12). Stayed over labour weekend - georgous weather so got in a few swims - beach is beautiful. Great burgers and chips at local store. Enjoyed Kinloch market and purchased some lovely pottery and woodwork for Christmas prezzies. Fabulous weekend. Highly recommend this Bach and we would love to come back. Thankyou!
