Guest Reviews

• Helen (10/5): - Clean, great price & warm accommodation. Glass entrance door seemed to be missing a blind or curtain.
• Tracey (10/5): - On arrival the batteries on the keylocker was low. Phoned liz, and it was sorted immediately. Thanks we had a lovely stay.
• Vaimoana (10/5): - Lovely property, friendly and accommodating staff. We stayed at the Rob Waddell Lodge which is a great place for large families such as ours. Amazing views of the lake and very well equipped with everything. Will definitely return and recommend this place to others.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Highly recommend - Good time camping
• Hoana (8/5): - I really loved our spot. I loved being on the venue.
• Frank (10/5): - Beautiful view over the lake from my camping spot
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great stay great place. Nice and clean
• Amy (10/5): - This place is absolutely beautiful, we wished we had stayed longer
• Scott (8/5): - Was good
• dakshan (8/5): - I liked the local vibe and accommodating staff
• Justin (8/5): - Beautiful surroundings
• Loela (8/5): - We enjoyed staying in the cabin. It was not super clean but clean enough to quickly do it ourselves.
• cheryl (6/5): - enjoyed the quiet but the steps up too cabins carrying everything got a bit exhausting backwards and forwards a few times.But the location was excellent for our needs
• Gillian (10/5): - Great Venue fantastic scenery
• Bruce (10/5): - Very good value. Wide open spaces outside for camping and regattas. Clean and tidy shared kitchen. Off-road cycling options right to the door. Friendly reception. Guests must clean their units before leaving (I agree) but it looks like it's not always done well.
• Maria (6/5): - Near to the lake
• Deb (10/5): - Awesome location for rowing regatta Great facilities
• Phil (6/5): - Lovely setting on the lake, with spacious cabins and great hot water. Friendly staff helped us get on WiFi. A few features could improve the experience: a table and a few chairs, a rubbish bin, and instructions for the heater in the chalet; a microwave, bowls, and dish soap in the shared kitchen; and a clearly marked after-hours key drop.
• Lawrence (8/5): - Beautiful surroundings
• Lee Choo (10/5): - It's an awesome site.
• Bryan (6/5): - I was surprised to be given a cleaning check list at check-in advising that we were expected to clean the entire cabin ourselves prior to leaving or incur an additional charge. While the cabin appeared clean and tidy when we arrived, we couldn't help but wonder if it had just been cleaned by the previous guests and not by professional cleaners. The heater did not work, so it was a cold night's stay. Could do with some pavers or path from the carpark to cabin, as we had to cross a muddy lawn.
• Emma (8/5): - A great stay - staff were very helpful and friendly and great location.
• Jim (8/5): - Its nice area for the family.
• Katie (8/5): - Good facilities
• Brayden (10/5): - How nice the location was
• Tash (6/5): - Generally positive but a bit mixed about some things. Staff were awesome, really helpful and the grounds beautiful and chalet itself were nice. I also knew going in, that there was no bedding provided which was fine. However for the list of things we were given to be cleaned before we left, there was makeup and food left behind before us, the mattress protectors that were there were stained and as a mother with 2 small kids staying alone, the chalet had a glass door with no blind that the next occupants walked past to get to their room and there was no way of locking our door from the inside? We ended up reaching through from a window to lock it once in? It didn't feel that safe. We were only after one night and cheap beds which was great and the surrounding lovely, but the unsafe feeling may put me off again.
• Windy (10/5): - Beautiful area! We will definitely be back!
• Natasha (8/5): - Great location with good facilities. Bring your own bedding and some cleaning stuff like cloths.
• R (10/5): Highly recommended - Such a beautiful place to stay so peaceful and real quiet. Absolutely beautiful and beautiful staff 😍 will definitely go again.
• Tom (8/5): - Great communication
• Jessica (10/5): - Our family had such a great time here. We stayed in the chalet and the kids loved the bunk beds! We had a very enjoyable stay!
• Lisa (10/5): - Great place to stay, will definitely stay again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice place for holiday with family . Check in was fast . But we only got to know during check in that we need to bring our own bedsheet and blanket.
• Kjirsti (10/5): - Nice shaded camping spot
• C (10/5): Simple, clean, affordable camping cabin - We wanted camping experience but not in a tent. This cabin was perfect! Closing doors and windows, simple bunk beds, shower, toilet, sink and so clean! The community kitchen was really convenient with fridge to keep our food and dishes and cook Ware for the 2 stoves let us make home cooked meals and share stories with the other cabin renters. The playground for the kids was 2minute walk away, lake was 4minute walk and we could see it from our cabin window. The cafe on site was wonderful! They had amazing food that we indulged in for a chocolate Belgian waffle breakfast, what a treat! The staff was kind, we would definitely go back again. I only wish the lake had easy access to walk in and swim- it was set up for boats with the launch and docks, no beach, no kid area.
• Gareth (8/5): - What a great place and the great friendly service from Liz
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Be Really liked our stay. Dont forget our sheets/sleeping bags/pillows
• Lisa (8/5): - Beautiful view and friendly staff. Playground for the children and cooking facilities available.
• KarenMunro (8/5): - The kitchen areas were very nice and well equiped and I loved the deck but it was a shame there were not more picnic tables on the deck. The camping area was very attractive and I was very lucky to get a shady spot and a view of the lake. It was great to be able to jump into the lake where you were hot. The event I was attending was in the centre and it was nice that there were doors opening onto patio area with views of the lake. The showers were great and always available and always hot. The toilets were always good also. There were also outside showering facilities, a drinking water fill up place, a tap at the right height to wash your feet, a cafe close by so all in all I thought it was great.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Easy to find, property was perfect for our needs. Quiet, peaceful stay. Communication was excellent. We would use again and certainly recommend to others.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - great location, friendly staff, wotif booking details didnt mention needing to take own bed linen and towels or ring to book it! Staff great and provided it for us. thanks!
• Verified traveler (4/5): Really bad - The bed sheets has many insects. It seems that there has no change the bed sheets. There has no pillow provided. 1st night - we double checked and made sure the door locked before we go bed to sleep. In the morning, we saw the door was opened. The door had scratch marks， I guess somebody use the tools to open the door. Be careful your bags and money if you stay in there. We really cannot sleep in the 2nd night. The washroom is clean. The location is not different to find. I won’t go there again.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Cabin was dirty and had an ant infestation. Add said it ca,e with bedding but we had to sleep without. We were told we had to clean the cabin at check out. Kitchen provided no soap, towels etc.
• wanida (8/5): - Friendly staff and very quiet.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Our cabin was simple, clean, serviceable and in good condition. Great setting
