Tranquil Retreat wi-fi & pets, lake view from rear deck, property backs onto reserve
This tranquil retreat offers the perfect spot to relax with the family including the furry members!!
Sleeping 6 , there are 2 lounges with the ground floor lounge offering a terrestrial tv whilst the upstairs lounge streams Netflix . With the games available, you have a perfect space for the kids to hang out.
A nice touch is the blackboard paint on the dining table.

When the pull out single bed is made it is not possible to shut the bedroom door. The bed can be moved into the upstairs lounge if needed.
The stairs are very slippery, be careful if just wearing socks.
