We really enjoyed the house and the stay. Lovely and very quiet neighbourhood. The walks on the pathway next to the water is a huge feature.

Reviewer Comments:
The lakehouse is lovely and quite, and on the surface clean and well maintained, thought it lacks some attention to detail. We also had a few issues, that affected our overall stay. The remotes for the TV and airconditioners had either no or dead batteries in them. The bedroom air-conditioner did not work at all. We got in contact with management who were extremely helpful, responsive and professional, and although they did their total best to rectify these issues, the air-conditioner was not able to get fixed during our week stay.
