Cozy and well decorated cottage at the back of a property, so I felt safe. With the use of the bbq in a beautiful back yard meant that cooking amenities were available. The hosts are helpful with providing dining local options, directions and local knowledge.

Quiet oasis with great walks by the lake 200m away.

This is an exceptional addition to the extensive short stay environment of this beautiful part of East Gippsland. A no fuss base for all that the region has to offer with gorgeous hosts.
