Well deserving of its 2 Hat Status. Lovely old villa, well positioned on lakefront - ambience added to by the resident Kookaburra's that come to be fed every night. Staff friendly & unobtrusive , meal presentation was great as to be expected at an award winning restaurant. As we were from NZ was great to see some NZ wines on... More

There are not many hotels in the world which can claim the appellation of "special". The Lake House can. A beautiful property with a superb restaurant - rightly the recipient of countless awards - and staff (friendly, efficient and welcoming) who are without peer. Simply put....what is there not to like about dining and living extremely well, relaxing - using... More

Pretty boutique hotel with an excellent restaurant. Rooms are nice but not very memorable - appears a little too pricey for what it offers. More

The accommodation in a lake front suite was very spacious and comfortable and the balcony was lovely. We noticed the paintwork in parts was a little tired and the celing of the room was a little cobwebby but overall it was great - quiet and well set up with a beautiful outlook. The coffee machine (pod) was a great touch... More

We loved the food and the service is superb. The waiters knowledge on the wines was very impressive. However, the rooms are very poor value for what you pay. The TV is in such a bad spot that you cannot watch it from the bed. There is a very annoying fan in the bathroom that is activated by a sensor.... More

I enjoyed a nice weekend at the Lake House in February. The staff were lovely and the food was great. Our rooms were very nice, spacious and with great bathrooms. We had a lovely private terrace off our room and so could enjoy a quiet afternoon tipple before dinner. The downside is that the Lake House setting isnt quite as... More

My Husband and I just got home from a 1 night stay at the Lake House. The restaurant meals were divine, as was the service, but sadly the price we paid for the accommodation was WAY too expensive for the pigeon hole we were crammed in.

While our accommodations and meals at Lake House were very good, my husband's experience at the on-premises Salus Day Spa was terrible. On arrival, the hotel management informed us that reservations had been made at the Salus Spa for both of us the following day, to ensure all appointments were not taken. My husband has had facials for years, at... More
