Summary: The Love Shack is a treasure, in a wonderful, peaceful spot. Our stay was one of the most relaxing holidays thanks to the lake front position, the bush walks, kayaking and the bach was charming and had more than everything we needed for the week. Flo and Rod were wonderful warm, hospitable hosts and welcomed us with snacks and wine. Expectations exceeded! Thank you.

Summary: This property is in a stunning location & absolutely everything you need is thought of. It has to be one of the best baches I have stayed in and waking up to the sounds of the birds and having coffee by the lake cannot be beaten. Florence is extremely lovely to communicate with & everything was a dream. Thank you.
