Luxurious accommodation overlooking Lake Hayes We had a delightful five stay at the cottages. They are very well appointed with two equally comfortably bedrooms. A great kitchen if you want to cook and a cosy living area with a potbelly which gave out incredible heat. Amazing views over Lake Hayes.

Simply Beautiful What an incredibly special place, I absolutely adored our stay. I would say it really is the best of both worlds, beautifully located between the city and in the country. The cottage itself is something you would find in House and Garden magazine; so beautifully appointed...
