Overlooking Minety Lake, this waterfront home gives guests a unique experience that combines luxury living with exploring the local nature. The open-plan living set-up flowing out onto the decking and garden area – ensures the picturesque views are always close by. Plus, with a private jetty, you can benefit from direct access to the water with a paddleboard or kayak, for example. When you're not participating in watersports lapping up the on-site swimming pools and tennis courts – the Sky and Sky Sports subscriptions provided by the hosts will likely come in handy here too. While cooking in the state-of-the-art open kitchen is tempting, you'll also find an on-site restaurant – for fuss-free meal times.
