Fabulous cabin, great location, friendly host
First the little things that could be improved: There was poor light when driving in at night, it needs a strong sensor light out the front and side. We couldn't see a number on the cabin so we weren't sure we were at the right one. Inside the cabin there was no information pack explaining things, the first time I haven't seen that. There are many positives, it's a great location, we arrived late and had to leave in the morning so didn't get the chance to explore, but if we're back this way again we'd definitely stay here again. I'd had a few hard beds on this trip but the bed was fabulous and comfortable in a great bed frame. Loved the bedside tables and lamps, plenty of room. We loved the timber look of the cottage and the Darcy Doyle prints. With mobility issues I appreciated the ramp instead of steps. The bathroom was great, and it was awesome to have a laundry to do some washing, and a dryer. We asked Dorothy if we could have some friends over for dinner and she said yes and we had a lovely time of fellowship with them. Dorothy was great with communication and very friendly. I totally recommend this property and Dorothy.

Cottages not on the lakeside
Follow up on reservation through VrBo a bit difficult but hosts responsive to text messages. Fairly old self contained units that are located in the owners back yard - compact design but functional. No oven, just stove top and microwave. Located in the back streets of Metung, close enough to walk to the beach road, bit of a longer walk into the centre of town. Hosts friendly and accomodating, OK to bring our dog which was great.

Good location and quiet
The unit was roomy and basic. We felt it was tired and needed updating particularly for the asking price. There was a 10-15mm gap in the bedroom floor which exposed the underfloor. We had to seal it as we had the unpleasant experience of a red-belly black snake entering our motel unit 5 days earlier. The a/c struggled to cool the residence when the temperature was over 30 degrees. Host were very friendly and accomodating.
