Dunkeld East

Amazing food and great service.

Clean and comfortable room with double volume ceiling and beautiful views on the deck.

1. There is absolutely zero privacy between the toilet, shower and the room, not even a screen of some sort. 2. The beds had electric blankets. But there was no heater in the room to cater for the very low single digit temperatures. There is a fireplace but it isn't practical to stay up and keep the fire going all night just to keep the room warm. 3. The room door didn't lock at all. We explained this to the lady at the front desk. She said the handyman, Bheki, would arrive soon to fix it and to leave our rooms unattended while going into town for dinner. She didn't seem to appreciate the natural apprehension of leaving luggage in an unlocked room! When we got back, the lock still hadn't been fixed, so we had to sleep in an unlocked room! In the morning, she indicated that she misunderstood and didn't realize the door wasn't locking. We're not sure where the misunderstanding was when it was simple communication that "the door cannot lock" and "the door isn't locking". This was most frustrating after a late 3.5 hour journey.

The lake view and peacefulness

You can almost hear people in the other room.

Remotely place to enjoy the ambiance of a holiday weekend

The room didn’t have a refrigerator, just wish all the rooms can be fitted with them

View from the room, the restaurant and the staff working at the bar- not the check in.

The walls between the rooms is paper thin! You can hear the people talking like they sitting right next to you, and when they watch tv you can might as well join them. You can hear them shower, flush the toilet, snoring…every sound they make you can hear. This was extremely frustrating if you want a good nights rest I would not recommend staying at Dunkeld East.

The setting is perfect.

The road leading up to the hotel is dreadful. If you didn’t have a 4x4 you would find it very difficult.
