Hello we stayed for a women's retreat and found it a great location, plenty of bird life, beautiful views from the verandahs - kitchen had what we needed - lots of space. Sauna door not able to be closed unless someone from the outside closed it for you and downstairs bathroom shower water spreads all over floor and around toilet so not super safe but the rest of it was great :)

We were looking for a large house capable of accommodating 4 families for a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. Ski Cove House was perfect for that. Good beds, great spaces and well equipped kitchen. Wonderful! The only down side was that no one mentioned that there is a 30-40 meter drop from the house to the lake below and only a very rough track down. My wife took a nasty tumble that put somewhat of a dampener on our weekend. Thankfully she sustained no serious injury but could have. There are plenty of beautiful beaches not too far away.

Enjoyed a lovely weekend with friends overlooking the beautiful lake. There were plenty of beds and a well stocked kitchen with ample plates, glasses cutlery. etc. Easy access down to lake level for water activities. Modern appliances. Deck needs updating. Short drive to Forster for anything you need, or a stroll through the coffee shops.

We knew the sunset was a feature of this property, but seeing it in person is surreal, absolutely magnificent. The house was large enough for our group of 11, including a 2, 5 and 7yo. The house itself is a little worn, and can be noisy with our little kids running around, but with so many ppl and family members being able to enjoy the location and time together, it was a small compromise. The balcony railing was a little concerning with our young ones having the tendency to want to lean on or try to climb on the wire balustrade, so we made sure we always had our eyes on the kids. Overall though, we would happily visit again, loved the location and with Kate’s check in and check out process being super efficient we had a wonderful multi generational family holiday.

We stayed at this property for a weekend to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. Our group comprised 6 adults and 6 Grandkids aged 12 to 17. The house was perfect for us. The location is amazing with beautiful lake views. The house is huge and there is enough room for us keep out of each others way. The games room was well used by all of us. The property manager, Kate, is so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She even left a bottle of bubbly and a lovely birthday card for my wife before our arrival. The fire kept us warm and toasty the whole weekend. We will be looking for an excuse to book this outstanding property in the future!

We had a lovely stay: ample space, lake-side, big kitchen and deck area. Pool table and ping pong table for the games room. The kayaks were easily accessible by the lake. Check-in process was effortless. Highly recommend and will now visit again.
