Great property for large family group with adults n children. Plenty of comfy beds in large rooms. Big couch to all sit together and nice seating area to look at lake. Excellent bathrooms and facilities. Everything you need in kitchen, big fridge and stove. Lovely grassed area for playing outside. Highly recommend this property.

Metung Crest is a gem! The accommodation is well-appointed and perfectly located in a quiet, private spot away from the main village. Backing onto the Tambo wetlands near Tambo Bay, we were treated to an incredible array of birdlife and wildlife - it added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay, especially during meals and social time with the group. The home itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a truly relaxing and carefree break

Beautiful property but Missing items
Property is absolutely beautiful and was presented pristine! However, preparation for our arrival fell short. No, coffee pods for machine. No instant coffee except for a couple of teaspoons at the bottom of the canister which looked stale. No sugar. No dishwasher powder or tablets. Had to make a 20 min drive to get coffee each morning. No blankets as alternatives to Dunas which we found overhot.
