    “Great location and views, access to the jetty a fantastic bonus!”

    The property has a very comfortable layout, the kitchen is great and has everything you need including a fridge with a small freezer compartment and two caffetieres. The double bed is very comfortable, bathroom a good size and it's nice to sit out on the bench overlooking the lake and the hills beyond. A great place!
