4 wheel driving tracks are a plenty amongst the mountain ranges for those who like getting muddy and dirty with nature.
Not to forget the energetic ones, why not bring your bike and ride The Mansfield Rail Trail. 134km of bike track from Seymour to Mansfield which is suitable for all ages and abilities. Or even just somewhere to take your dog for a well earned walk.

Great for Snow Trip!
This is a great place to stay for your snow trip. Very conveniently located near Mansfield. Picturesque views of the beautiful green rolling hills from the bedroom & living areas. But the bedroom with the bunk beds is certainly the kids' favourite!!!
Really enjoyed the stay & we'll be back.

Amazing place to relax!
We found "Life is Better At the Lake" as an extra ordinary place to relax. The place was really clean and very spacious. Entertainment deck is one of the best. Very cozy and enjoyed every minute. Huge thanks for Allison who has provided such a nice place.

Beautiful house & plenty of room
The house was very impressive & lots of room.
The entertaining deck was perfect even though the weather was raining & cold. The outdoor heaters worked beautifully combined with the blinds to keep it comfortable to sit outside...along with the outdoor fire pit.
With reverse cycle units in every room everyone was happy!
I will be, & already have, recommending Life's Better At The Lake to my family & friends.
Thank you Allison for sharing your lovely house.
