Lovely resort at a respectable distance from the lake
Pros:

Clean great looking resort with amazing facilities such as pool hot tub and gym. The breakfast option looked good but did not go for it in the end.

Cons:

The wifi was non existent - for a 4 star resort that is not acceptable.
Also facilities such as the gym closed early at 9 pm. Location is 7 minutes from the lake which is dair enough - that is the decision you take going there. Quite a few busloads from tours

we had a lovely stay our room was good but the flooring has seen better days.
Pros:

Our view from our window was amazing

Cons:

We visited a number of years ago and changing the reception removing the fireplace has lost its cosy feel. The staff seemed under pressure not enough of them especially in the restaurant

Can find better
Pros:

Pool

Cons:

Room was musty n dusty, no aircon for $450 a night, strange gurgling sound all night coming from within the shower walls - non stop.

Main door entrance is not solid and is just frosted glass allowing light to enter the room all night.

Pool was the only saving grace of this place.
