So grateful to Ellen for our time in Goon Nure. We were warmly welcomed & Ellen introduced us to the unique delights of the local plants & animals. Light filled, amazing design looking out to Banksia trees, wattle & water. Cosy spots to read in the sun/shade along the decking. Enjoyed the frequent visits of birds and evening wallabies. Made the most of swims with the swans. Highly recommend, a home away from home!

Amazing retreat into nature. Very restful but still close to access interesting and fun activities.

The property was beautiful and the owner was lovely. Very peaceful place with close access to the lake. Lots of bird life as well as roos, koala, echidna etc. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short, but have been given a credit to return for the remainder of our booking at a later date. Highly recommend.

This is a wonderful bush property that backs on to Lake Victoria. It's quiet, peaceful and private with abundant wildlife to enjoy. Kangaroos, echidnas, a blue tongue lizard; there was even a Koala. Birds everywhere. The house is comfortable with everything you need supplied. Love to go back there again.

Loved this place for its artistic unique style and its wildlife. It was awesome to get to feed kangaroos and birds (beautiful parrots) and walk up to the lake in the morning. Definitely bring some insect repellent with you.

Every step of this process was great, Ellen was extremely helpful and very accomodating. The property was perfect for a relaxing weekend away, it had everything we could have asked for.

A lovely place. Relaxed. Native birds & wildlife. A great get away to unwind.

Great property if like me you are looking for somewhere quiet to relax and recharge the batteries. Really enjoyed our short stay here and especially the animal and bird watching with the local residents

Lovely morden clean stylish home in a bush setting with native animals come visitting & longing to be handfed. Lovely & friendly hostess!

Had a lovely stay. Property just like advertised. Very clean and comfortable. Setting among nature amazing. Wildlife very entertaining and very much 'part of the property'. Ellen was fantastic - both in sending information prior, inducting us to the property and follow up after we left. Wonderful experience.

Ellen was extremely friendly and welcoming for our arrival. Her pre arrival communications were excellent. We arrived on a public holiday so found ourselves short of some supplies. Ellen very generously offered supplies and in fact returned to us with fresh eggs and garden vegetables from a neighbouring friend's garden. Our accommodation was clean and very comfortable. Ellen has a plethora of local wildlife friends who visit and in fact she provided treats for us to give the birds, kangaroos, friendly kookaburra and butcher bird. These critters gave us hours of delight. Sitting at the lake and watching the swans swim by gave us beautiful moments of peace. While being away from the hubbub of crowds the property was still close enough for short day trips and sightseeing of the beautiful local area. Thank you Ellen. (And your coffee was great!!)

Unique quirky place right on the lake. Enjoyed feeding the kangaroos Would be happy to go back again. House was very clean and Ellen went out of her way to make sure we had a comfortable stay.

We stayed here for two days over the New Year's holidays. This is a great property by the lake side with beautifully designed house, lots of trees and greenery. The interiors of the house are very nicely done. Its extremely clean and well maintained. The linen provided was very good. Kitchen is well equipped and has a good selection of Tea. Lots of different kinds of birds can be seen, we also saw kangaroo. Its a very tranquil and comfortable property. We had a great stay and hope to visit again.

What a joy it was to arrive, to be greeted there by Ellen and so warmly welcomed to her superb property. Within an hour we were visited by the "Welcoming Committee" of 3 gorgeous kangaroos, who also returned later in the evening with some extra company. Birds everywhere flitting through the trees, stopping for a dip in the giant bird bath set in a beautiful bush garden. Later that night the possums came sneaking up to visit us, and kept us all amused. Just as we were heading off to bed, we heard a loud tapping noise and after investigating with the torch, we found the source of the noise...a tawny frogmouth (owl) up in a tree with a frog in it's beak, thrashing it against the tree trunk to kill eat before enjoying it for it's late night snack ...and this was just in the first 8 hours! On another night time walk we saw a sugar glider, bats and more possums. The kangaroos visited us every evening, and on the last night we were there, 6 showed up with 4 of them returning late at night and staying until around midnight (as if they had come to farewell us!). We also saw a mother and baby wombat and an echidna on day 2, and black cockatoos arrived early on our last morning to signal impending rain. We had an amazing few days away with total peace and serenity in every waking moment. The house was extremely well set up for comfortable and easy living and we had everything we needed and more. I should add that the TV was never switched on, as we were too busy having fun out on the spacious verandah being entertained by all the wild life. I would highly recommend this property for anyone that wants a retreat from a hectic lifestyle, and it is a credit to Ellen that she is happy to share her little slice of heaven. Thankyou Ellen for having us to stay.

We stayed at Zinc House over Christmas - the kitchen is really well equipped, the property is beautiful and inspiring, the location on the lake is super romantic. House is open plan and easy to keep cool - even on hotter days has a great breeze off the water. Kangaroos and koalas on site! Ellen is really welcoming and provided really detailed instructions about all of the property's facilities. House is perfect for an older family or couple into kayaking or stand up paddling, boating or just enjoy natural bush setting. We sat out on the deck until late into the evening and were glad we remembered our mozzie repellant! Beds were really comfortable with nice linen and Ellen provided coffee, tea, sugar etc. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

A gorgeous spot, right on the lake. The house is amazing. Would be great to be there when the weather is warm to enjoy time on the water. We had fun despite the rain, exploring the local game reserve by 4 wheel drive and riding our bikes around through local tracks. The kids loved the wildlife and exploring around the lake. The only suggestion would be that the beds were very small. Comfortable but small. The host was very friendly and welcoming, and gave us plenty of local advice for things to do. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
