    Nice self contained cottage but mosquitoes are a massive issue

    Lots of mosquitoes day and night 24/7 could not enjoy the balcony with view or going outside the property, to eat or have a drink or bbq with out getting eaten alive. Even with bushman’s spray on the body , still got bitten and wife is allergic to mosquitoes she welted up. Gap between the entry door and flys screen when closed so mosquitoes get into the house and eat you alive as well while you sleep even if you spray the whole place before you go to bed Had to close all windows and doors to reduce the mosquitoes entering maybe a zap light inside and out side would help a little , felt like I was locked up inside due to mosquitoes besides that I would give it 100%

    Was a nice place to stay very well equipped as a self contained cottage had everything you need to cook up a meal very impressed. Place is close to Forster Nice and quiet and very friendly owner

    The driveway is a little narrow. Not really a negative though. Lovely stay.

    The frangipanis were in bloom; the evening chorus of kookaburras was wonderful, the changing mood of the lake view from the verandah; the hammock in afternoon dappled light. Well equipped kitchen. Puzzles on rainy day.

    Only minor "complaint" would be the exclusion of beach towels. Fortunately, we were able to borrow some from nearby relatives, but for those travelling to the Forster-area and looking to lounge on the beach, a set of towels would probably be appreciated. Having said that - Ken (host) was very responsive during our stay and could have probably provided beach towels had we asked.

    A lovely location, with beautiful views over the lake. Loved sitting outside for breakfast (listening to the birds chirping was delightful), dinner (taking in the gorgeous sunsets) and lounging in the hammock soaking in the afternoon sun. Check in/out was seemless and well-communicated, and Ken (host) was very responsive during our stay. Was great to have laundry on-site, including outdoor hanger for drying. Overall, the property was clean, tidy and very comfy. It was nice to be located outside of the Forster city-centre, but easy to get ino town via car (10-15 min drive) or bus (didn't use, but it seemed convenient enough).

    Hubby wanted a tv in the bedroom lol but that takes absolutely nothing away from this property.

    Ken and Cathy have gone out of their way to make their guest comfortable. They have thought of everything and it was lovely to go somewhere where everything was provided for you. The bed was comfortable with an electric blanket and plenty of heaters as well A ++

    The driveway is narrow and steep, making the initial arrival at the property somewhat daunting. Access in and out of the shower could be improved with some safety hand rails.

    The house is is lovely and wonderfully decorated with many thoughtful features included. The view from the well appointed veranda is beautiful, it was a pleasure to sit out there and enjoy the sunset. (Friendly suggestion...the addition of some hooks on the backs of the doors would be great).

    No air conditioner for summer months and cookware fry pans getting old

    The place was clean and tidy the only thing we suggest maybe an reverse cycle air conditioner as we can imagine in the summer this place could be very hot and some new fry pans as our fish stuck. Otherwise a beautiful, quiet and relaxing stay with stunning water views.

    Unfortunately the shower was over a small bath which was unsuitable for me as I have very bad knees. Because of this I had to cancel and go elsewhere. Ken was very understanding and even tried to find us accommodation elsewhere.

    The location was good. The view was amazing.
