How's the serenity?

The views were phenomenal! It was such a lovely stay, the property has everything that we needed and then some. It could do with a bit of a reno though as it's quite vintage and the bunk beds weren't comfortable however those are some minor issues that we easily overcame! Fantastic property and a short car ride from everything!

Perfect

I really liked the place! The sunsets from the balcony overlooking the lake were amazing. We had a great time playing board games, pool, and table tennis. All the facilities were top-notch. Communicating with the host was a breeze. Definitely want to come back!

Nice break in Bonnie Doon

Overall a great stay. House had all the requirements for a great week. Only issue was the driveway to the property, getting a larger trailer up the drive and down again wasn’t great. Perhaps that should be advised on the add.
