For the price of the room i was disappointed. Paid more for a lake view room which mainly looked over outdoor bar and into area. Very noisey from bar music turns off at 9.30pm and carpark.

Yes staff very courteous. I found the Lodge was old and could hear guests outside opposite room. The room had a perfumed fragrance on arrival soon went after opening windows. No Lake view. One night's stay served its purpose.

We had a back unit which was very clean, quiet with comfortable bed. Enjoyed soaking in the bath after a long day and beach across the road so a couple of minutes walk. Parking was limited and we had to park in the street. No AC was an unpleasant surprise as room hot in afternoon when we arrived (and something I will check in future) so we opted to leave the window open, fan on and stuff in car while we went out.
