The Beach House, lake front in Cape Maclear

It was everything and more than we could have hoped for. The pictures on Airbnb do not actually do this place justice. The house is fantastic and was easily accessible for my 80 year old father who has mobility issues, ramps everywhere. The staff were beyond helpful and very friendly. A delight from check in to check out xxx

Tamarind Lake Cottage

YanduraRating, 5 stars5 months ago

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and we had friendly staff who helped with cooking and cleaning. Katherine continually checked if everything was okay which made us feel right at home. The environment is very serene and beautiful. It’s like a little heaven as it provides a mixture of a magical forest and the beautiful lake down the escarpment. The gardens are well taken care of and for nature lovers, this is a place to be.
