Stunning pet friendly villas set around a peaceful lake. The villa was spotlessly clean, fully equipped little kitchen, very comfy king size bed and en-suite. Incredible views from our villa of the property and lake. Got to enjoy kangaroos sunning themselves around the grounds, a very peaceful location. The staff were very helpful and friendly too and very welcoming of our pup. We would absolutely recommend and property and will stay there again in the future.
