Summary: This has to be one of the best holiday homes we’ve ever stayed in. So welcoming, clean and comfortable. It was a heat wave when we arrived and the aircon had been left in for us so it was bliss walking into a cool home. Great water craft for lake activities. We are already planning another stay.
