We had a very relaxing stay. The cottage is set in a beautiful rural area and yet only 45 minutes from the lake which is an absolute must to visit. Our only comment is to use caution with the kitchen taps as the hot water is very hot.

My partner, sister and myself had an amazingly relaxing stay at the cottage. Our favourite spot was the back deck. There is beautiful view across the river to paddocks with cows grazing, and the sound of the river running below. Our thanks to John for a wonderful stay.
