A very relaxing, comfortable place to stay with lovely lake views.

Barb Australia

Great location, right next to boardwalk and easy 5 min drive into town. Excellent gardens and grounds. Tasteful period look but with modern amenities and standards. We stayed in a room with 2 bedrooms: king bed + ensuite and 3 singles with separate bathroom, great for families but also maintains privacy for a couple. Comes with a separate lounge area from dining/cooking area. Spacious balcony with great view. Pool was lovely with a nice water feature, tennis courts looked to be well maintained and pristine. Everything was spot on.

Felt like you were away from the hustle and bustle. The place is easier to get to now as you can enter from Lakewood Drive. Our cottage had a nice view over the lake. Friendly and helpful staff.

Michael Australia

Location is superb - quiet, wonderful views, bush setting on lakeside was filled with birdsong. Our room was spacious and we had our own section of verandah to enjoy quiet time. Comfortable and spacious indoor lounge/common room was available.

Deborah Australia

Everything. The comments on booking.com painted an honest picture. Some of the photos on the site may have either been of other or not updated. Our room was much nicer than we were expecting from photos. A nice surprise. Huge grounds, even with some local Roos. Room was very clean, huge room with a balcony overlooking the lake, sower great, location (out of town) suited us and only a few minutes into town. Staff very friendly … great stay.
