How's the serenity! El Be lakeside bungalow

Gorgeous bungalow beautifully situated on the edge of the lake. Shady location on the north shore with exceptional views of the lake. Step off the balcony, across the lawn and straight into the water.

Huge undercover area for relaxing and enjoying the expansive views of the lake.

The bungalow accommodates four guests comfortably, two in the bedroom with a king-sized bed and ensuite, and two on single mattresses in the living room. There is an additional bathroom for your visitors.

Fully air-conditioned (split systems in main living area and bedroom).

Well equipped kitchen with gas cooktop, microwave, coffee plunger, blender.

Weber BBQ on the balcony.

Large flatscreen TV with VAST satellite TV channels. DVD player. DVD library. Access to Lake Bennett WiFi for an additional charge.

Plenty of kayaks, paddles and lifejackets plus a big Canadian canoe.

Check in from 2pm. Check out b y 12 noon. Keys are kept in a keysafe at the bungalow. We will provide you with the combination/code for the keysafe.

We endeavour to keep costs down by asking our guests to bring their own sheets and towels, and to clean the bungalow before they leave. Cleaning equipment and supplies are provided.

If you would prefer to pay for a cleaner please let us know and we will try to arrange a cleaner (subject to their availability) for the extra cost of $100.

If you are unable to bring your own sheets and towels you are welcome to hire ours for an extra $11 per person which covers the cost of laundering.

It is unlikely that I will be able to offer linen hire during peak periods like school holidays, Easter, Christmas and long weekends. This is because we often have back-to-back bookings at these times and there is no opportunity for my cleaner to come in and launder the sheets and towels.

If a cleaner is required at the end of your stay the minimum charge will be $100 (for two hours).

No pets allowed (sorry, lake rules).

We recommend you bring drinking water (Darwin water or bottled water), as we have bore water which is high in minerals which isn't good for kitchen appliances like kettles and coffee machines (and some tummies).
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private balcony or patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while wireless internet access (surcharge) keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided on request.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Peaceful retreat at Lake Bennett
We loved the huge, tidy outdoor undercover space, as we were out using the kayaks most of our stay. The property itself was well stocked and functional for what we needed. Would have preferred a pull out sofa in the lounge room over foam mattreses. Communications was seamless thankyou Sharon

Nice place in the shade
A basic but comfortable cabin in a shady location. We probably would have preferred 2 bedrooms but the kids still slept well enough with the mattresses on the floor. We enjoyed the shady lawn area and canoes.

Nice and relaxing
Nice place with plenty of shade. There is only 1 bed so kids were on lounge room floor with supplied mattresses. No issue for my lot they are tiny. My kids just love being out on the water , fishing, paddle board and just swimming in the lake. It is a bit muddy to get to the water but been to lake Bennett many time and we are use to this. I was surprised how quiet the lake was being school holiday, bonus for us. Place was tidy but only wiped over clean. It is a great place to relax you will enjoy yourself.

A nice little cabin, tucked away at the end of the lake on the grass. Lovely new and very large carport/undercover area. Very well equipped with everything we needed. The view of the lake was beautiful esp. for sunrise and sunset.
