The location was excellent. Being that close to the lake (and their cafe!) for a morning coffee and walk was a great start to each day. The natural water spa pool on the balcony was also fantastic and very relaxing. Friendly staff.

We rate the location as great - near Lake for walking & swimming - we did both. Easy access to nearby Restaurant & 2 Mile Bay Sailing Club. The cafe on site is a huge bonus. Bed very comfortable & any clean Linen offered every day.
