Great family trip
We had an enjoyable week at the lake house. The inside was neat, tidy & pretty well maintained considering the age of the property. The grassed area leading to the lake was a great area for cricket & soccer, and the family enjoyed fishing in the lake. We had 5 adults + 4 kids in the house and it was more than big enough. The pool was a good size & despite being a bit cold (it is not heated) the kids had a lot of fun. The spa took a while to heat but once it got going it was used constantly. The only down side was that some parts of the outside areas are in need of some maintenance & clean-up but apart from the BBQs & ping pong table it was all still useable. We would definitely stay again.

Enjoyable stay, however could do with a clean.
Overall we had an enjoyable stay at Highlands Lakehouse. The kids enjoyed the pool the most. It was very refreshing in the hot weather we had during our stay. We had looked forward to using the spa too, however we were disappointed to find it was out of order. The property could do with a more thorough clean - while commonly used areas and items were clean, there were items that needed some attention - some of the leisure equipment, and most notably the BBQ which we decided not to use due to caked on grime. The house and kitchen were spacious and had beautiful decor. The grounds and lake were also very pretty, and it was nice to take a stroll around and also see the sheep and chickens. We had a very relaxing stay here.

Overall a nice property
Overall our group was pleased with the stay. There are always small issues that arise, but the owners were quite responsive, and appears that they are committed to continuously improving the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Photos of current Stayz ad are inaccurate
The property wasn't clean; the basketball and tennis court were out of service and run down; the spa was not on at arrival and took over 24hrs for the spa to heat; no floor heating; bedding was not as stated; long-term rusted leaking roof in bathrooms required buckets to catch water; the fireplace was not cleaned; nothing to start a fire with; property not as described, photos of beautiful horse stables and horses are false. The manager offered a deposit credit to be used at a later date if no negative review is posted.

Easter stay
Overall we had a nice time there (despite the cold, rainy weather) and the kids loved feeding the sheep and chicken and playing with the dogs on the property. There were a couple of things that brought our rating down (the pool was really dirty and it looked like it had been a while since it was cleaned, and one of the bathroom doors kept coming off the hinge and falling on whoever was opening/closing the door) but overall, the property is great for families/friends to get together.

Amazing property
We booked this amazing property to host our daughters bridal shower/bachelorette party. The house is amazing and the barn was perfect for our daughters Sydney friends to come and stay with us. Everyone loved the farm and the animals. Millie and her beautiful dogs made us feel very welcome. Would recommend the property to anyone!!

Lockdown - minimal refund
We lost over $1000 in money not refunded. Less than 25% refund. Government lockdown cost two pensioners more than they have ever lost in any situation in their whole lives. This was unfair and morally unacceptable. My advice is book another property.

Family Time
If you want to feed the chooks. Watch the ducks. See the sheep sit around the fire pit. It is great. Watch the collie dogs that took me back to my childhood of sheep & wheat. Home is a bit outdated though if you want some quiet time, great.

Ladies weekend
Weekend away for 6 ladies, so much room. The house had everything we needed. The views of the lake are breathtaking. Beautiful property. Lovely secluded feel. Out of town, but only 20 minutes to all we wanted to see. Perfect for adults and for a family getaway.

Beautiful view! House clean, nice and warm. Friendly manager.
Our kids love to spent time at the front yard (beautiful garden) with 2 lovely pet dogs from the manager. We recommend this property for those who love quiet and fresh air. We will back soon one day! (The only things should be improved is the laundry. It was a bit messy with bed sheet cover in and out of the machine so we couldn't use it.) Thank you for sharing a lovely house!
