“Disappointed”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

Very disappointed in the rooms, we have had better motel accommodation over twelve days. The Lounge was very nice,the service was very good and the restaurant was excellent, the wine list was well overpriced. Would visit the restaurant again but stay in the closest motel.

“Beautiful and relaxing.”

Reviewed 7 May 2013 via mobile

Beautiful place, so relaxing and peaceful. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious. We upgraded to the tasting menu and loved every dish, the goat was the standout. Service was fantastic from all the staff, nothing was ever too much trouble. Actually, the staff at Lake House are some of the best I've ever come across, where even the cleaners and... More

“Overpriced!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

I was so looking forward to our stay at Lake House but for the cost of it felt very disappointed. We were greeted by a very lovely receptionist and shown to our room. At first it looked fine but there were many things that didn't come up to expectations and in fairness we should have mentioned it to the Manager.... More

“Fabulous food, good over all experience”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

We stayed at the Lake House for 2 nights in a Lodge Room. The room was comfortable but dated. The bathroom was adequate but had a good bath. The setting of the hotel by the lake is very pretty. There is a large comfortable lounge where we spent one of our evenings by the log fire which was great. The... More

“Very pretty location, Good food, but accommodations a let down”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

I'm disappointed to have to give this hotel an average rating - I was really looking forward to staying here as it has been on my 'to do' list for a while. However it is definitely a let down - and for the price which is not cheap (stayed in a Waterfront suite) it just isn't up to standards. To... More

“Amazing Dining Experience but rooms need a facelift !”

Reviewed 14 April 2013

It was extremely difficult to rate this establishment because the food was simply outstanding along with really excellent service, however, the rooms were a bit of a let down. We stayed in a Waterfront suite (not cheap) which was spacious enough, however very dark on the ground floor and the furnishings really need a facelift. What a shame. We have... More

“A nice place in the country”

Reviewed 10 April 2013 via mobile

A great place to go - we were well looked after. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Dinner in the restaurant was quite an experience and exceeded our expectations with first rate service, although quite intrigued by the large presence of french accents amongst the staff. The room was nice but not that different to rooms in other 4/5... More

“Beautiful!”

My partner and I stayed here in March and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating or helpful. Beautiful view in a villa overlooking the lake and the heated bathroom floor was just a taste of how fantastic this property is. Wonderfully comfortable bed, great coffee machine and picturesque surrounds complete this place. They catered to our every whim! It... More

“Great food overpriced accomodation and alcohol”

Reviewed 1 April 2013

The rooms are very small and dated. I'd expect when paying over $500 a night to have a separate lounge and TV room. Some of the staff could learn a thing or two about humility - the sommeliers were quite dismissive of the average punter who doesn't necessarily want to spend $300 or $400 on a bottle of wine. The...
