Blissful stay
We had a wonderful stay, the holiday house is equipped with everything we needed and more. The best views of the marina and quiet enough to have a swim without being in the way of boats or kayakers. Thank you for having us!

Fantastic
Owners were very accommodating and very responsive. The property itself was clean & homey. We didn't want to leave. The beds were extremely comfortable. It made our weekend away just so much more as everyone was waking up refreshed & ready to go. The name is Edgewater escape. It is on the waters edge & it was an escape but I recon they could add serene to the name as it is just perfect for a family or group of friends & you go away feeling relaxed & refreshed.

This place is amazing if you're looking for somewhere to get away from the stresses of the city. It's tranquil and peaceful and the perfect place if you just want to do nothing. Sandy and Vish are very accommodating, helpful and nice people, who bend over backwards to make sure you're having a good time. It's a slice of heaven and I recommend it to everyone

Peace and Tranquility
This is a beautiful place to stay, everything we needed was there. Beds were comfy, enough space for the seven of us to be together but also have our own space with the second living area. 3 toilets great. The 1 thing that could be improved is enough dining chairs for the guests to all eat at the table, but this is very minor in the overall stay.

Absolutely beautiful!
The highlight of our Christmas with family, upon arrival the house was spotless and with some treats on the table and some beautiful Christmas decorations. Within minutes the kayak was out on the water and sitting around the firepit outside (there is a person a few houses up who does have firewood for sale). We all expected a house on the water to be a bit noisy with boats ect but we barely heard anything all week. The house has absolutely everything you need, bring your food in and that's it. I cannot say enough about the property as a whole and have not 1 negative thing to say. I hope I will be able to make time to come back again. Thankyou Sandy and Vish
