Located was good, 5 min walk to Two Mile Bay Sailing Club and 5 min drive to town. Room was nice.
Pros:

The room was very nice and spacious, the bed was comfortable.
We liked the location across the road from the lake and a 5 minute walk to Two Mile Bay Sailing Club.
Tennis courts looked good.

Cons:

The spa pool was pretty dated and swimming pool is not heated. The Restaurant / bar area also pretty dated.
