About this house rental
A beautifully designed FUN house on the lakefront with playful, inspiring interiors and gardens designed by Landscape Architect Brendan Moar, in one of the best spots right on the lake at Lake Tabourie on the stunning South Coast of NSW.
This shack has been transformed into one of Lake Tabouries most exciting new additions. A recent transformation, the shack (now, more than ever) captures the spirit and fun of classic Australian beach house life. The shack opens up via bifolds, french doors and louvres to embrace it's beautiful surroundings. The verandah has a stunning aspect out across the lakeside garden and over Lake Tabourie. A fire pit/bbq/hammock takes centre stage of the lakeside garden and will become the focus of your evenings at the lake. The gardens are fully fenced and every part has somewhere to sit, and take it all in. Feel free to help yourself to the herb garden.
There is no TV, but there is WiFi, so you can stay connected and watch NetFlix if you must. There are board games and an awesome record player and a pretty damn fine vinyl collection. The shack is a thoughtfully put together interior (and exterior) and we ask that you be respectful and treat it with love and as you would if it were own. Vibe is an important part of your whole experience, so by night be sure to the advantage of all the greats lamps and dimmers on all the light switchers - HA! ever read that in an AIRbnb thingo before?
Right on the lake, you can fish from your front yard, or take out one of the two kayaks and cruise around Lake Tabourie or out to the beach. Simply walking to the beach (which takes about 7 minutes) is a beautiful experience, along the lake edge through stunning Australian South Coast bush. Lake Tabourie has a very special nostalgic spirit that is becoming rarer and rarer to find. Quiet and peaceful, its a place for making and sharing beautiful hearty meals, exploring on foot or taking trips by car to countless world class beaches, lakes, estuaries, and bush walks (or 'hikes' as the kids under 35 insist on calling them now)
SLEEPING SPACES - IMPORTANT!!!! Please note there are limited options on this website to accurately describe the sleeping spaces so here goes - There are TWO bedrooms and a SLEEP OUT. Both bedrooms have a queen size bed. The sleep-out/sunroom opens off the front yellow bedroom (refer to the photos) and has a yellow and white striped queen size floor mattress which is very comfortable.

Fantastic- just as Linda remiss a small child - beautiful location and the retro style was quirky but really enjoyable. A fly screen here and there wouldn’t hurt but we’ll be back

Loved staying here!
easy to relax into a week of downtime with the view straight onto the lake, walking to the beach, house is well supplied with nice linen, kitchen stuff, a record player and great vinyl collection, kayaks, and two bathrooms which made life with our teenagers simple.
Not to mention it’s the suavest looking holiday rental I’ve ever stayed in.

We loved this property, it had all we required. We are regulars to Tabourie and were very pleasantly surprised by the coolness coming of the Lake/Ocean on those hot days. We had everything we needed and all the little details we excellent. Especially the Record player and Hammock!!
Highly recommended

This beautiful house provided us with a much needed respite from face paced life. Brendan was amazing to deal with, the house was so inviting as we arrived with all the finishing touches covered. There is amazing access to the lake and beach. This place really is special! I could not recommend this stay more highly. We will definitely be back!

Delightful, quirky, interesting, arty, inspiring. Magnificent setting right on Lake Tabourie. It would be easy not to go anywhere else when staying here, but at least the very short and lovely wander to the great beach. The owners have renovated this cottage in a way that brings it into the now but still keeping the 'then' of when it was built (1950s or 60s?) and the rest of the decades since then. Charming and inviting garden front and back make enjoying this place inside and out effortless.

Gorgeous retro cottage
We absolutely loved the cottage. All the retro details are just gorgeous and everything is catered for. The location on the waterfront is so pretty. We enjoyed the firepit, read a book in the hammock and also used the kayaks. It was perfect. Would love to come back. Lisa

Lovely lakeside cottage
We were very unlucky with the weather, but the cottage was a really cozy space to watch the rain falling on the lake. We had a really relaxing stay, listening to records, playing board games, going for a few walks and taking the kayaks out on the lake.

An absolute diamond of a property. An escape back to the simple and beautiful life. Music and nature

Bliss on toast
The house is in a great location with very calming views over the lake at the front and an equally beautiful view out the back over the beautiful garden. The beach is a short bushwalk away and we loved using the canoes. The retro design makes the house very comfortable and it is very light and airy.

So perfect & peaceful, the Lakehouse was a dream
The house is beautifully situated and designed. It envelopes you in its warmth and coziness. With its fairy lights, fire pit & the aqua hues of the creek - our stay was surreal, like a dream. We long to visit again when restrictions permit.

Total Coastal Relaxation
Everything about this place is wonderful -from the helpful responses of Brendan to all my numerous queries and requests, to the delightful renovation that has so tastefully turned this original coastal holiday home into the perfect pad for your weekend (or better still week long ) getaway! We absolutely loved our weekend here. So many thoughtful touches in the house, including beautiful lighting cool retro colours and the well tended gorgeous garden with fresh herbs ready for picking . We were invited to share the contents of the pantry, linen and towels were on hand, a big beautiful bath for us to try next time, firepit, hammock among the trees, as well as kayaks for paddling about on the lake. We also enjoyed working our way through the record selection too. Add to this our favourite coastal scenery, lakewater views, bush track and endless beaches and you can’t go wrong. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful Lakehouse
The entire process and venue was exactly as Brendan had described. The retro aspect of the venue with the record player was wonderful. The lack of a tv was not felt at all as the surroundings were very tranquil. I would def stay at the Lakehouse again. The only drawback was the fact that the lights at the front of the bakehouse did not work and it was difficult to see while the fire pit was used. The grill on the fire pit was also a bit tricky, as we needed it lower for the barbecue, so I do suggest getting a free standing barbecue for barbecues and having the fire pit as a stand-alone. Other than this, it was a wonderful stay. Thanks Brandon

Making memories...
The attention to detail makes this a truly comfortable and homely retreat. From the picturesque lake views , framed by the bifold windows , which provide a very interactive space, to the beautiful planting’s and garden architecture . The retro decor , books & records help you slip easily into holiday mode.
Having linen provided , making no extra work on arrival is a bonus. :)
We enjoyed cooking and sharing memorable meals together , and if there was a condiment we forgot to bring , it was there in the pantry for us.
Brendan was very easy to deal with and very obliging .
Loved our time at your ‘Lake house’ and made lots of memories together!

Fabulous property with a great position on the lake. Felt right at home for our 10 day stay and would highly recommend. Plenty of food in the pantry which made us feel really welcome. Received so many positive comments from passers by about the property. Expertly curated.

Amazing ! Perfect spot !
What a beautiful home you’ve created ! Absolutely loved waking up to that lake view every morning and having brekky on the deck. From the record player to all the retro furniture I just loved it. So fantastic going somewhere and being supplied with condaments ! Meant we didn’t have to go and buy salt, sugar, pepper and sauce ! I adored your gardens and the mint from the herb garden was perfect for our mojitio! The kayaks were put to good use as we kayaked to the beach everyday. The hammock also got a fair workout in the afternoon with a good book in hand. It’s just the perfect location, close to Ulladulla and 2 minutes from the beach. Thanks again, we would love to come back !

Can only recommend them lake house. Lovely place to stay, we enjoyed it very much!
All the efforts and the small details make the house unique, from the herbal garden, the hammock to the well equipped quitchen - everything is thought of. The location is amazing, the calmness of the lake views and walking distance to the beach make it the perfect gateaway from the busy city. If you have the chance, stay there - it was honestly the best accommodation on our whole trip and probably on of the most welcoming rental homes I have ever stayed in!
