Great house, very roomy which made it a perfect for 3 families

Lovely place Great to watch the sun sets Close to Smith’s Lake for water sports.

We had a great stay here! Great access to water and coffee shop. We loved the quirky nature of the art work. The house did have a strong unpleasant smell when we arrived (perhaps the cleaning products?), but was ok when aired out. The kitchen was jammed pack with a lot of things so had everything you needed but not much space left. Loved the view and cosy couch, great bit outdoor space out the back. Great place for kids, peaceful bushy surrounds. We loved it and would definitely go back!

We loved our stay here, beautiful large house, plenty of nooks, great views. Very well equipped. Lovely hosts. Thank you 😊

We were a group of 6 friends spending a relax weekend in this beautiful gem. The house has an amazing view of the lake, it is incredibly decorated and well equipped. The location is 5 min walking to the lake. Karla was the best host. We will definitely come back!

The place is very cosy and great views!

Just back from an extremely pleasant and relaxing few days with our children, their respective partners, a very young grandchild and our niece. Kestrel provided an ideal venue for this extended family get-together. Once you negotiate the steep drive and then the stairs up past the spacious bedrooms you emerge into the large, open, light-filled upper living and kitchen areas. Warmly and pleasantly decorated, superb views out over the lake, multiple comfortable couches to relax on, a wonderfully equipped kitchen and all surrounded by spacious outside sitting and eating/bbq deck areas. Kestrel has the feel of a lived-in and used family holiday home, thoughtfully and stylishly decorated and furnished. It was an inviting and easy place to spend a fun and relaxed few days. Our only comment is we were surprised at the absence of a few what we think of as basic household items such as soap for the showers, washing powder, limited detergent, alfoil and glad wrap. In an otherwise so well equipped and supplied house we did wonder if maybe the cleaner had failed to let the owner know that supplies of these items had run down/out. Otherwise though, highly recommend if you are planning a group holiday.

Great spot with excellent lake views, photo's don't do it justice. Disappointing on check out to be chastised by a cleaner who showed up late.
