Three bedrooms downstairs, games room, bathroom, laundry and large living, kitchen and dining that opens up to the terrace and outside seating, dining, BBQ and firepit. We have a wood burner and air conditioning (hot/cold) inside the property. All beds have electric blankets for the cooler months. a new concrete 10x4 swimming pool has been added to the property in Nov 2023 perfect for those hot summer days.

For those that are more adventurous - there are fantastic bush walks, river swimming, kayaking (BYO), country walks, breakfast, lunch and dinner options on the weekend at the Pickle Wombat in the village. Please also be aware that there are no shops in town, you will need to bring all your own food etc.....

Please be aware this is not the 5 star Hilton, it is rustic, quirky and in the middle of the bush, but perfectly charming and perfect for a small group.

Guest access
There is one bedroom upstairs that is locked, the other five bedrooms are available.

Other things to note
There is unrestricted access to the lake from the drive - do not swim in the lake, children must not be unsupervised if by the waters edge.
