I was not thrilled by several aspects of my stay. The room looked tired and felt quite dated. Paying extra for pool access was like a cheap shot, especially since I specifically booked here expecting it included. It all was like an unexpected expense.

A Treasure by the Lake

amazing viewkids playgroundhandy locationsteep hill
The cabin was so nice, clean, and well-equipped. I appreciate a practical space. Our villa had amazing views and lots of facilities. The kids loved the playground and bounce pad. The location was so close to town, and a Woolworths nearby made things easy.
The walk to the pools felt long. The steep hill was difficult. It would have been nice if we could drive. My back pain made it difficult.
Location
9/10
The resort is positioned conveniently with its nearness to local amenities. A very close Woolworths made shopping easy. Access to local eateries presents lots of options for dining out.

While I did not eat on site, the close proximity to town means it is very easy to find dining. The option to cook in the chalet is perfect. It meant we could have family meals together.

Our room had everything necessary. It was clean and kept well. The facilities were perfect for our children. We stayed the night and it matched the description.
The reception staff seemed disinterested each time I asked a question. The rooms were a bit dated. The bathrooms lacked bench space to put toiletries.
