    Walls thin, could hear people walking past and talking during the night. No extra blankets in room.

    Right on the lake, great views from some rooms.

    The light on the board walk was right outside the window of room 34 and kept the room very lit up, even with the blockout curtains. The light should be switched off or the window should have something at the top of the curtain rail to block the light out.

    I was in one of the rooms with a newly renovated bathroom. The rain head shower was excellent! Good heat and pressure and the electric mirror was a modern touch. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable

    There were some other patrons on the night we stayed who were unpleasantly noisy, boisterous and intimidating.

    The location of this property is second to none. We had a lakeside room and the view was magnificent.

    Keep an eye on the opening days of the restaurant on site. It is amazing and was a draw card for an afternoon beverage, but was closes the two days of our visit.

    The hotel is in a great location with plenty of local attractions to keep you busy. A 3min drive for great coffee. Walking distance to a local pub and a great kid friendly park.

    Could ask more if they had towel rails , somewhere to put your luggage like a luggage rack and a shelf in shower , but clean and tidy a leak in the corner of our room which needs attention !
