This property is absolutely heavenly!!!! My friends and I stayed for a wedding we had in Nagambie, there was 12 of us and we absolutely loved this property, we already cannot wait to come back. Beautiful home and beautiful location. Owners were so lovely too! Couldn’t recommend enough.

A relaxing stay was had by all of us! Barong on the Water is a lakefront farm house, that is secluded but still only a short 20 minute stroll along the boardwalk and paths into town. There is a massive outdoor fire pit by the lake with so much firewood! An outdoor undercover dining area is well serviced with a fridge and sink, and has a gorgeous view to the lake. There is plenty of parking onsite. Indoors is cosy and inviting, and the pantry is well stocked with the basics, and some delicious treats provide by our lovely hosts. We were a group of 7 adults, and there is ample space, with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms! Once it got a little chilly outside we came in for dinner and sat around the large dining table. This house is so well located, and you can make as much noise as you like, without the fear of annoying neighbours telling you to stop having fun. The hosts are friendly, welcoming and generous with an early checkin and late checkout! We will definitely be back!

The minutes we all arrived we were so happy we picked this charming, spotlessly clean and appointed holiday home.
We were a group of 8 celebrating our annual early Christmas weekend away and not one of us could find a single fault. Comfy bedrooms, a kitchen with everything you could imagine, lovely light filled rooms and bathrooms and the incredible outdoor space!
We spent most of our time out here - bbq, wine fridge, sink and huge table- and gazed out at the lake via the lovely gardens. We utilized the boardwalk at the bottom of the garden to wander into town (20 mins max) and do some shopping before returning for a swim and then a fire in the large fire pit with all wood supplied.
We really were super impressed and will be back. The hosts were lovely and kind and booking/ instructions were great. Thank you Sandra for your wonderful house and property. You literally have thought of everything!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Barong on the water. The house and grounds were beautiful. The cupboard and fridge was stocked with food and snacks. The kitchen was well appointed with all we needed. The rooms were spacious and there was plenty of beds for 2 families to sleep comfortably.
The property is close enough to town and accessible by a boardwalk but is very private as it’s set back from the road and the water.
We will definitely be back again when it’s warmer to enjoy Nagambie lake and more.

Beautifully presented home with one of the best backyards in the region (on the Nagambie lakes)
Very comfortable for our group of 7, well equipped kitchen and comfy beds, super clean throughout.
Now, the location of the fire pit with the lake in the background was second to none.
Sandra and Andrew were very friendly and easy to deal with and it was a very nice touch that we had some breakfast and other pantry goodies to enjoy.
The lads and I loved this place and are already planning the next getaway.

Beautiful house and property. Comfortable, clean, lovely owners, had everything we needed plus some! We loved the lakeside location, played cricket on the lawn, patted “Fox” 🐴, toasted marshmallows on the outdoor fire and went for a dip in the lake. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We spend my birthday weekend at Barong and I could not have chosen a better place to stay. Before checking in Sandra took into account my plans to be on the water and informed me of river closures so that I would not be disappointed. I was so relieved to know that I could do what I wanted to do and it was so thoughtful of her to let me know. Sandra's husband (so sorry I can't remember your name, it was a busy weekend!) came to check in when we arrived and was super friendly and great to chat to.
The property itself was immaculate. Super clean, well supplied and very well suited to 12 guests. Anything we could have asked for was there from outdoor fans/BBQ/outdoor fridge, to clean bedding and towels, kitchen equipment and firemaking materials. It really felt like they have thought of everything. The weather was hot and it was so nice to walk through the pristine gardens and hop in the lake to cool down. I, unfortunately, could not get our boat down, but it is a perfect spot to moor during your stay. We didn't make it to the wineries but will have to come back again! The brewery in town was great for lunch. Nearby IGA had everything else we needed.
I cannot think of a single complaint. Everything was perfect. A huge thank you to Sandra and her family for helping to make my birthday so special. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Such a perfect family getaway for 6 adults and 4 kids! The house had everything we need, we cooked on the bbq both nights (and for breakfasts), relaxed on the lawn by the lake, and slept soundly at night! We appreciated the extra touches from Sandra and family, highly recommend!

Relaxing retreat
The property is a great place to relax with a group of friends, cook some fantastic meals in the well equipped kitchen and eat them together in the dining room. Beds were clean, warm and comfortable. It's an easy drive into town or to nearby wineries.

Fantastic Property
We had a fantastic stay over the Easter weekend.
2 family’s and 5 kids. The room layout was great. Kids in the bunk room and parents had some separation. The outdoor alfresco opening onto the amazing lawn and down to the lake was where we had every meal.
A big bonus for the kids was Fox the horse being there to see and pat every morning.
Immaculate house and beautiful lush garden all fronting the rowing course on Lake Nagambie which we considered safe for kids water play.
We will be back. Thankyou Sandra and Andrew

Amazing location and wonderful hosts
Sandra was so helpful with all of our questions and the house was immaculate. It was also great that the house had so many basics there such as cleaning products, toiletries, bbq tools, food wraps and dishwashing items, etc. We were from interstate and it was so good not having to buy these things as we wouldn’t be able to take them back on the plane. I highly recommend this lovely accommodation and location with warm, friendly hosts. Thank you for our memorable stay.

Weekend oasis
We rented the property for our rowing crew who were competing in the Nationals - awesome spot, great location and view of the last stages of the race course. It was such a great base for our crew and families. Thanks Sandra and Andrew for such a great place.

Ah May Zing!
This was our second stay here! Walking in on day one, felt like home.
Sandra is an amazing host, the house is immaculate and accommodates our large girls group perfectly.
An annual catch up that means so much to us and to have found a space to accommodate us all that is so beautiful is a huge win.
The beds are comfy, the supplies are beyond generous. An enjoyable walk into town and only a short drive to michelton winery.
Everything about this place ticks all the boxes for the perfect reunion.
Thanks again Sandra for opening your home to us. We are already looking forward to next year.

Beautiful place for some R&R
Just enjoyed a lovely weekend-fantastic being on the lake with the firepit! House was very clean and comfortable. Great outdoor spaces. House is as described. We appreciated the fragrant homegrown roses and the brekkie provisions. Loved being able to get use the kayaks and SUP’s straight from the backyard and watch the school rowers training!

Family Wedding
The house and grounds were beautifully presented and sparkling clean. We appreciated the nice touches of breakfast supplies, fresh flowers and lovely soap in each bathroom. We all felt the beds were incredibly comfortable and all had quality linen. The location to Nagambie is perfect, being only just over 1 kilometre from the town. The garden sweeps down to the lake and we were supplied with plenty of wood for the fire pit and a great BBQ and outdoor area. We all would have enjoyed more time at this lovely property and location.
5.0
Fantastic accommodation by the lake.
The house was extremely well set up with a lot of little unexpected extras such as flowers in vases and chips in the pantry. It had everything we needed for a family holiday both inside and outside of the house. Being right on the lake was great but it also close to the town of Nagambie for anything else we needed.
We will definitely be booking this house again.

Wonderful family wedding accommodation
This property is perfectly positioned to accommodate groups for weddings at nearby wineries- it delivers even more than expected. Great beds, quaint country kitchen that is fully equipped, lovely outlook, sensational alfresco area, swimming access and a warm welcome. Prompt and efficient communication and genuine understanding during Covid uncertainty- most appreciated. After four attempts we finally nailed a date and Barong did not disappoint. Thanks.
