Great accomodation in the Fishpen, perfect for larger families or multiple families. Feels like a home away from home as opposed to most accomodation options.

We had a wonderful time staying at Peter's place. It is a fantastic spot, perfectly located to everything. Great coffee just around the corner at Mitchies Espresso Bar. Beautiful house, plenty of space. The boys loves the pool and the table tennis. Huge yard for our dog. I loved the big deck upstairs. Will definitely be going there again.

Great stay in top location
This house is great for a large group or two families to share. We had two families and the lower level was ideal for the teenagers to sleep and have their own rumpus/games area (with TV) and bathroom (stand up shower only). Upstairs bedrooms were nice and spacious for the adults with another bathroom (shower over bathtub) and comfy lounge with fireplace. The house is in a fantastic location, only a few minutes walk to the beach and an easy 10 min walk across bridge to town. There is a great cafe and a fish and chip shop a few mins walk away. The upstairs large covered deck is a great space for outdoor dining and lounging and has a lovely view across to the lake. We didnt use the pool as it was too cold but it is a nice size with a few lounge chairs-would be fantastic in summer. The table tennis table was a fun on the day we got some rainy weather. The house was clean and tidy and bed linen good quality. The only negatives are that both bathrooms are in need of renovating, and the Webber BBQ provided is way too small for a large group. There was 6 of us and it was too small and we had to cook some meat on the stove inside which was not ideal. I would recommend to the owner to upgrade the BBQ to a large grill to accommodate big groups. Also the BBQ was very dirty on arrival and we had to spend time cleaning it ourselves so that was another let down. Host was very apologetic and was good to deal with during our stay. Overall I would recommend and we would stay again.
