We decided to have a little family trip before the kids go back to school. For 2 families in total, the property catered to everything we needed.The kids and our hubbies enjoyed the fishing so we spent majority of our days and nights across the street watching them fish.Kids enjoyed their stay and gave 10stars.My parents enjoyed relaxing out in the front balcony every morning, drinking their coffees while watching the grandkids attempt to fish.
The house accomodated for 10 of us, Minor things for imrpovement but in our eyes, the property but just absolutely beautiful and the layout of the house, We cannot fault.
The view of the Lake in the mornings were gorgeous, Plenty of things to do..We all enjoyed our stay, we took our own blankets and pillows.
The house had a kayak,paddle boards,even a BBQ for us to use.The host replied to every question and enquiries we had.Overall, the kids rated the best holiday spot ever!!the only downfall was, after spending days at this location, we did not want to check out especially for the price we had to pay, it was a bargain.
Thank You for allowing us to book a relaxing,fun and beautiful home for the long weekend.
FYI - there are shops around the property, Local Hotels and Pubs with amazing food, overall, it is definetly the perfect spot for a family getaway.We will definetly book this place for our next holiday away.

This property was a lovely 4 bedroom home with nice decor, mostly.
There were several disappointments with it unfortunately. It is very close to a main road so traffic noise is an issue at night and the level of cleanliness was poor. Stains on all the dining room chairs was unpleasant, a large spill of a brown liquid was all through the fridge, dirty smudges on the upstairs toilet wall and bathroom doors, toilet roll holders in most bathrooms were falling off the walls and food left on plates and glasses that had been put away for next use. I was also unhappy that the entrance code was not sent the day before as promised and no response came from the owner from emails and phone calls until the day we left to go to the property. The response was that if the phone number is not recognised by the owner then it is not answered. Disappointing. We left the property cleaner than before and a bit embarrassed having brought overseas visitors there at a big expense to us. As lovely as Windang is and the house, we cannot recommend this property

Enjoyed our stay as property is clean and spacious and comfortable for 2 families as described and well set up to prep Xmas lunch. It has a beautiful outlook over the water. A few tweaks would make a difference.. better bed linen with top sheets (we took our own after reading reviews). More regular knives( not steak knives) and more forks. Queen
Bed in master bedroom is not supported properly.
And the garage opening switch was very high!
But overall we enjoyed our time and it was easy to go for walks by the lake or get to the beach from there.
Pelican watching is very amusing!

We had a family holiday in this beautiful house with Lakeside views for a week.
The owner responded in a reasonable time to any questions.
We had garage parking and were very comfortable once we worked out how to get inside the house. Communication explaining how to use ‘it’ would have been helpful beforehand. (just a heads up there).
The downside was there was no complimentary coffee, sugar, or any kitchen cooking supplies so bring your own salt, pepper sauces etc.
The towels were very threadbare so once again bring your own like we did. Lots of wardrobes and hanging space but only 3 coat hangers in the whole house. The bins were really smelly and had not been collected, possibly because food rubbish was placed in the recycling bins by the previous party.
Hooligans also setting off fireworks every night we were there around 2am -4am really p!$$€d us off and kept waking the children.
The views of the lake and the house itself can’t be faulted. It’s just a shame the nights were not undisturbed.
Would I go again… not at the rates we paid a day with check in at 4pm and early check out at 10am. And not during New Years holiday week.

Whilst the house is very roomy and functional it is let down by the proximity to a busy road.
I would not recommend this for people who are after a quiet getaway. It feels very urban and bland.

We stayed 4 night, this is a big house with 3 levels, plenty of room and the water views are lovely and the location is great, walk to Windang Bowling Club and the row shops on the main road. great little area to through a fishing line in or have a little swim. The owner very quick to answer questions. the gas fire place perfect for the winter days . Bath towels are provided - but they are old. If we have the chance to go back, we would take our own towels, and they did not have any wine glasses - so a quick trip to the shop for wine glasses. The bedrooms does not have any reading lamps. The Modern key pad door entry took a little working out on how to close and lock the door, perhaps a small note on the back inside of the door would help for those not familiar with new technology The biggest down fall of this property is the late night traffic noise from the main road, but that is not something the owner can fix - the size of the property and the location and access to the water is a big plus.

Great view - Poor cleanliness.
Great view & location. Poor cleanliness, functionality of house equipment & design. Could do with a broom for every level, yes many split level property. Not enough dish soap, bin bags, things to keep the house tidy. If you stay here it’s for the view and location close to beach and fishing only. Glass windows paper thin so be prepared to hear fishman on bridge talk all night. Loved little nook for kids in bunk room. Many toilets very helpful. Just rooms dirty on floor, kitchen oven not cleaned out, pantry food Scraps food - not clean. Big bin full - also not told when to put outside to collect. Not information about place. Would be better if had information book, eatery, places to go etc. overall we booked for the view and it delivered that.

Beautiful outlook
The house was well suited to a family gathering. Stunning views from the front balcony. Close to club and convenience stores. A short walk across the bridge to the waterfront which was suitable for small children.
There was some light traffic noise. Overall a very pleasant home.

Great location but needs more supplies
Owner was always quick to respond. The location is fantastic - the front of the house has a lake view and it is a 5min walk to the beach. The balconies were very nice and let in a very nice breeze but it would have been more enjoyable if there was outdoor furniture. The bed sheets and quilts did not seem very clean and some of them even had stains on them. The top bunk beds were not very comfortable for adults. There was limited supply of toilet paper and no laundry detergent. The kitchen has very basic equipment and could have done with more cutlery. Overall, we still enjoyed our time at the house.

Absolutely Amazing
By far one of the best holiday homes my family and I have booked. The place was so clean with all things required to feel at home. The location and view was to die for! Close to the shops, petrol station, beach and wharf. We had an amazing time and could not fault the place at all. Thank you to the owner who was fast to respond and provide important information. Would highly recommend and would definitely love to come back soon!

The house location is great. Lovely to watch the tide coming in. The downfall was the lack of supplies you expect in a holiday accommodation. Things like extra toilet paper, tea coffee sugar, dishwashing tablets and condiments. There was also a lack of information about the house. No welcome book and things like that. Didn’t ruin our stay, but was noted to be lacking.

Weekend at the Windang Lake-House.
Great house layout for a large group.
Pristine location on the water for fishing, playground for the kids & take-aways within a 5 minute walk.
Only thing I could suggest would be an increase in towel supply.

Beautiful Stay
We stayed there for a long weekend with a group of girls and absolutely fell in love with the house, it's decor, facilities and location. Super convenient to shops (5mins drive down the road), cute coffee shop around the corner and loved the temperature control fireplace and the reading nook.
Thank you for having us and its a beautiful gem in the neighbourhood.
