We had a wonderful week at Lemon Tree Passage. Although the weather wasn’t the best and we had quite a bit of rain, the beautiful views and fantastic location more than made up for it. The property is only a short walk from the water’s edge, and we even managed to do some fishing and catch a good one!The home is spread over two levels. Upstairs has a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and a small living area with a TV. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a genuine coffee machine. The dining area opens onto a spacious outdoor patio with a large table and plenty of chairs.Downstairs are two bedrooms with enough room for seven people to sleep comfortably. There is air conditioning and plenty of heaters, which kept us comfortable during the cooler, rainy weather. The downstairs garden also has a large undercover entertaining area with a barbecue and another huge table with plenty of seating.The children had lots of fun on the trampoline, and we all enjoyed lighting the fire and roasting marshmallows. One thing to be aware of is that the two levels are connected by an external staircase. This wasn’t an issue for us, but it may be helpful for other guests to know.Overall, it is a wonderful and spacious place to stay in an amazing location. We would happily return—hopefully next time the rain stays away!

We had a really nice time at the Shack, the location is so peaceful but also very accessible if you want to navigate around. There are amazing stars to be seen and stingrays in the water just behind the house. The retro vibe is great, we loved it! It was quite cold while we were there, but there was plenty of bedding and heating in all the rooms to make it cosy. The trampoline in the yard was a nice perk to burn some energy for the kids, in addition to all the open space all around the house. Lovely spot, would book again!

We had a lovely stay at The Shack. We really appreciated how clean, comfortable, and warm the space felt from the moment we arrived. The quirky touches gave it so much character, and the quiet location made it an easy place to unwind.We were especially grateful that it was pet‑friendly — our two dogs had an absolute ball. They loved exploring the area, and the beautiful nature walks along the water were a highlight for all of us.It was exactly what we needed: cosy, peaceful, and thoughtfully put together.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Lemon Shack. The house was located in a quiet spot and a great getaway. Great access to the water from back yard, the kids spent a lot of time kayaking. Unfortunately we didn't see or hear any Koalas in the area. The locals informed us the population greatly reduced from the bush fires.
