Great Property, excellent host
We had a great stay at the Villa. The communication with the host Mal was excellent and the house had all the amenities we required. It was fairly new, clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend a stay here and if we travel back to Swansea we will definitely stay again. Thanks

Great location
We stayed 2 nights and the outlook is beautiful. Sitting on the front patio looking over the lake watching the sun go down was a highlight. So many beautiful colours. The house is very clean and well presented with everything you could ever need for a short stay. Mal was great and very accommodating, nothing was a problem. Highly recommend this property if looking for somewhere to stay between Sydney and Newcastle.
Very spacious and clean whole house.
Beautiful surrounding area.
Close to nearby beaches and attractions.
Lake view was fantastic.
Host was nice and friendly.

Great relaxing little getaway with great view!
We had a lovely time away with our Sister and brother in law.
The unit was immaculate and well equipt with everything we needed. Some essential cupboard items left that were appreciated and just added that extra touch.
We stayed with another cpl ( family) and our only gripe being the 2 singles we pushed together to make a queen were very hard tho coversations with Mal he is considering a topper so we would also return.
The other is wifi - NO wifi and think the property would benefit from that but then again Mal has offered the use of a wifi dongle for next time ao all in all very accomodating which is very appreciated.
Fantastic relaxing little getaway, the men fished off the jetty just across the way!
Will def go back :)

Very nice plac

only thing i could say is you feel as if your under constant surveillance with all the security cameras
would be good to know if cameras where on or off whilst your there.
