Bellbird Bach on Lake Road

Bellbird Bach on Lake Road

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (138)
"Lovely bach property 5 - 7 mins walk to lake edge surrounded by native trees and bush. Lots of birdsong. Plenty of parking and sunshine. Large deck area. Good size kitchen dining lounge for 6- 8. 2 bedrooms - each has a double / queen and a set of bunk beds so 4 in each room if needed. Good quality comfortable mattress on all beds. Great communication and easy check in. My only quibble would be bookabach fees were almost the same as a nights stay - if this included cleaning fair enough....
