It was a unique experience to stay in this spacious house. I'm glad we booked it. It truly felt like home, making me wish we could stay a few days longer. The living room sofa was comfortable, and the TV was impressively large. The dining table and kitchen area were excellent. On the ground floor, there were three rooms—two with private bathrooms and one common bathroom. At night, we turned off all the lights and went to the patio to stargaze. I managed to see two shooting stars and the Milky Way, which saved us the cost of booking a stargazing tour. The second floor featured bunk beds and a queen-size bed, with windows offering another view of the starry sky.

Loved the whole house. The water pressure was fabulous and having 3 toilets was great. Sofas were very comfy and it had a great kitchen with a Mitsubishi fridge that made ice, great addition! I have to say we also met the owners family, who were lovely and very welcoming. They let us inspect the other smaller unit so we could see if it would suit our needs at a later date.

    MAGNIFICENT view from Barbara Hay Lodge but note that this lodge has no hot tub (we knew this). The view was definitely worth it. Animal feeding included - absolutely awesome. Kitchen facilities modern + effective. Washing liquid, dishwasher tabs + washing powder all provided. Fireplace lovely. Walking distance to shops, restaurant, the lake and Good Shepherd Church. I’ve rink nearby. Can stay a week.

    A lovely cottage with everything provided. The fireplace and the outdoor bath was a real bonus and made this a standout amongst the many accommodation options available. Good communications and easy access and another bonus of a delicious loaf of what looked (and tasted like) like homemade bread. Good job!

    The two bedroom cabin/lodge we stayed in was beautifully furnished, had a great layout and a good use of space plus we loved the interior styling. It had views over the lake, a cosy wood burner and was walking distance to town but felt more rural. The beds were very comfortable and everything we loved. The kitchen was well equipped. We really appreciated the tasty loaf of bread provided and the little Whittakers chocolates which was a lovely touch.

    Super clean and cozy lodge with two bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. They have a shower, an indoor bathtub and even an outside private hot tub for stargazing at night. We tried the fire place which is quite straightforward and this gives a nice vibe of a cabin in the Forrest. They do have electric inverter so the fireplace is just a nice extra. Location wise , perfect! You can walk to the center of the town and only a Little over 1 km drive to the famous church of the good shepherd.
