Thank you for the wonderful stay we had as an extended family for our daughter's birthday. The house is extremely well fitted out with everything you could possibly need to enjoy the lovely setting. The house is spacious with a seperate loft sleepout meaning it was perfect for a large group ensuring you could have privacy if you wished too, on one of the many decks or garden areas. The landscaping detail is eye catching and creative. We will be back and would highly recommend this property. The attention to detail to ensure you feel at home is definitely one of the best we have seen.

Thankyou John and Dianne for our wonderful stay at your beautiful home. We are 4 adult couples who stayed here for the wedding of our daughter / niece at Spencer Lodge and it was perfect. We have followed the Lake Rules and made some unforgettable memories. We are all widely travelled and agree that this is the best place we have stayed in. You attend to our every need with the way it is set up. The views are magnificent, the home luxurious and comfortable, and the outdoor fire encourages talking and wines late into the night. Complementary wine and spirits and fridge were a lovely touch. Thank you for 3 days of bliss.Also Dave and Angie for your warm hospitality and friendly communications.The O’Neill ClanPS We’ll be back again!

Very rarely do you find a place which undersells itself - but Ted's is that place. The location is phenomenal sure - but its the attention to detail that blew us away. The Spa overlooking the water, the stocked fridge and complimentary mini bar, the quality of the furnishings - no stone has been left unturned to make sure you will want for nothing. We were lucky enough to meet the owner as well - and in the unlikely event you need something that the house doesn't have - he will make sure you have it the next day. The house is ideal for groups of friends, or 1-2 families. Access to the water is 20 metres, and the house has kayaks and SUPs free of charge. And make sure you go trout fishing ...you can then enjoy drinking a cocktail while cooking the fresh trout on the BBQ, just before toasting your complimentary marshmallows by the outside fireplace....a week i won't soon forget!

I highly recommend Ted's place for a tranquil holiday away in a stunning setting. John and Dianne are excellent hosts and you couldn't ask for a better set up at their place. Ted's Place has been designed with an incredible attention to detail and the moment you walk in you feel at home. Thank you so much John and Dianne!
