What some previous guests have had to say...

The Grounds Are Amazing!
“Beautiful home and amazing grounds. The home is just beautiful and in winter with the fireplace and heated flooring made for a special evening of catching up with old friends. There really wasn't anything we wanted that wasn't available. The grounds are amazing and we're looking forward to booking another weekend in summer to enjoy the outdoors and the other activities the property offers. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.”

The Kitchen is a Dream…
“Stunning property to get away from it all We booked for a Christmas in July for 8 friends and it was perfect. The kitchen is a dream to cook in. The house was wonderfully warm, as was the spa and all rooms. Beautiful. Thankyou.”

A Perfect Place For Relaxing.
“We had an excellent stay at the Lakehouse. The property is extremely picturesque with its own lake and huge yard. The house itself is very comfortable with a fireplace, large bedrooms, and a massive spa. The hosts were also very thoughtful--they had the fireplace going when we got in. A perfect place for a relaxing weekend. Beware, you will not want to return to the city though!”

We Will Definitely be Returning
“We received a very friendly welcome and the accommodation was lovely, just as described. Everything was clean and the burning fire very much appreciated! We all felt very comfortable in our surroundings and we will definitely be returning”

Would Recommend To Everyone!
“The Lakehouse and grounds are absolutely stunning and well looked after. We really made the most of the log fire, it made us feel like we were back in England! Thank you so much for having us, we would recommend to everyone!!”

Our family loved our weekend at Highlands Lake House. Sam was amazing to communicate with. Location stunning. House had great atmosphere. We loved the log fire and fire pit. Highly recommend. Only comment would be to Stayz that it would improve information for people with additional needs if you listed each accessibility feature rather than just a generic ‘wheelchair accessible’ comment. (Eg step free access to different areas including showers etc.) if you provided hosts with different features to tick this would enable more accuracy and more ease with finding the right property for people with additional needs like electric wheelchair.

We had an enjoyable week at the lake house. The inside was neat, tidy & pretty well maintained considering the age of the property. The grassed area leading to the lake was a great area for cricket & soccer, and the family enjoyed fishing in the lake. We had 5 adults + 4 kids in the house and it was more than big enough. The pool was a good size & despite being a bit cold (it is not heated) the kids had a lot of fun. The spa took a while to heat but once it got going it was used constantly. The only down side was that some parts of the outside areas are in need of some maintenance & clean-up but apart from the BBQs & ping pong table it was all still useable. We would definitely stay again.

Overall we had an enjoyable stay at Highlands Lakehouse. The kids enjoyed the pool the most. It was very refreshing in the hot weather we had during our stay. We had looked forward to using the spa too, however we were disappointed to find it was out of order. The property could do with a more thorough clean - while commonly used areas and items were clean, there were items that needed some attention - some of the leisure equipment, and most notably the BBQ which we decided not to use due to caked on grime. The house and kitchen were spacious and had beautiful decor. The grounds and lake were also very pretty, and it was nice to take a stroll around and also see the sheep and chickens. We had a very relaxing stay here.

Overall our group was pleased with the stay. There are always small issues that arise, but the owners were quite responsive, and appears that they are committed to continuously improving the property. We would definitely stay here again.

The property wasn't clean; the basketball and tennis court were out of service and run down; the spa was not on at arrival and took over 24hrs for the spa to heat; no floor heating; bedding was not as stated; long-term rusted leaking roof in bathrooms required buckets to catch water; the fireplace was not cleaned; nothing to start a fire with; property not as described, photos of beautiful horse stables and horses are false. The manager offered a deposit credit to be used at a later date if no negative review is posted.

Overall we had a nice time there (despite the cold, rainy weather) and the kids loved feeding the sheep and chicken and playing with the dogs on the property. There were a couple of things that brought our rating down (the pool was really dirty and it looked like it had been a while since it was cleaned, and one of the bathroom doors kept coming off the hinge and falling on whoever was opening/closing the door) but overall, the property is great for families/friends to get together.

We booked this amazing property to host our daughters bridal shower/bachelorette party. The house is amazing and the barn was perfect for our daughters Sydney friends to come and stay with us. Everyone loved the farm and the animals. Millie and her beautiful dogs made us feel very welcome. Would recommend the property to anyone!!

We lost over $1000 in money not refunded. Less than 25% refund. Government lockdown cost two pensioners more than they have ever lost in any situation in their whole lives. This was unfair and morally unacceptable. My advice is book another property.
