"Our room was remodeled and it was clean and nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a simple breakfast in the morning. We found it odd there was a sign instructing us to wash up our dishes and put them away. The young woman at the front desk was very sweet and helped us pick out a Milton Sound cruise. I would definitely stay there again."

Lakefront Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Very roomy accommodation, well set out, with excellent facilities at a very reasonable rate. Lovely welcoming touches with the lavender bags and little chocolates on the pillows. David was very welcoming upon our arrival. The spa bath was a lovely inclusion. Close access to the town centre, eateries and tourist attractions on the lake. A bit of oil on the squeaky cupboard doors would be good, otherwise faultless. Would we stay there again? Definately!"
