About this bed and breakfast
The Lakes House
This house has been a home for over 150 years, and is ready for the next 150. It will comfortably look after 1-8 people, in all weathers, and all seasons.
There are two fire places and many couches. This is a place for those who like a fire and a good book.
A long sunroom overlooks the lake at one end, and looks over to the Bridgewater Caves at the other. This is a place for watching the earth turn and the day unfold.
Two contemporary bathrooms and simple laundry facilities take care of all domestic needs. The kitchen is generous in size and outlook you can be cooking up a storm while watching one blow over from the bay.
From the door, walking trails lead through the garden, up the hills, around the lake or beyond to the coastal and national parks in the area. There are safe beaches, surf beaches and dramatic cliff top walks for the more adventurous. This is a place where wildness is accessible.
At each days end, four solid stone walls and new beds will ensure that sleep is sound. This is a place to re-connect with the natural world, breathe deeply and recharge the batteries.

What an amazing house and location!
This house was instantly relaxing as soon as we arrived. The house is well stocked with everything you need from a home away from home.
The hosts were friendly and communicated well and they called in often during our stay to check in on us.

Perfect house stay after we completed 13 days hiking the Great South West Walk. The house with it's historical significance, glorious outlook over the lake and sun filled living spaces was everything we could have hoped for. Viona was a delight, both in making sure our arrival went smoothly, and also in checking on us when we'd settled in.

The house was amazing. Everything about it was amazing including the history of the house, the renovations on the house, the views from the property, the welcoming of the owners, and the activities in the area. We will definitely stay there again if we get a chance.

We had a lovely relaxing time. The peacefulness and even with the cold weather the property had a warm charm about it, then add the fire places, definitely worth the stay. The hosts are lovely to deal with. My friends and I needed this break away and we thank you.

When we arrived at the house we were surprised by how incredibly beautiful it is. Stone and polished wood give it a serene interior that is matched outside by it's beautiful views out over the lake. We slept so soundly even though it was blowing a gale due to the wonderful old stone walls.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Lakes House. The house was spacious, well equipped and homely. There was so much to do: caves, hills, lakes, exploring, beach, walks and stars. We hope to come back again one day.

Our family stayed 2 nights but I wish we had longer! Such a beautiful property in a magical location. So peaceful and full of native wildlife and raw nature. We’ll definitely be back!

We loved our stay at the Lakes House - three generations of family ranging from 7yo to 74yo enjoyed the views, the board games, the morning visits from the roos (complete with joey in pouch), and the afternoon strolls up to find the donkey or visit the nearby caves. Everything we thought we would need was provided to make the stay super comfortable and effortless, and it was a breath of fresh air to have no mobile signal and no wifi! I’ve been visiting Cape Bridgewater for years now, but had never stayed at the Lakes before - we’ll definitely be back in the future!
Thanks so much to Lisa, Viona and Hayne for making it such a welcoming and relaxing place to unwind.

A short stay in paradise
Oh cottage by the lake
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home
Peace and tranquillity with no mobile phone
No social media or internet news
Instead there’s just nature and more beautiful views
Kangaroos watching as we climb the green hills
Reaching the top brings more breathtaking thrills
The scent of rosemary the sound of the sea,
Stone walls that whisper of past memories
The history and wonder of days gone by
The spellbinding splendour of the starry night sky
Peaceful slumber and wistful dreams
This part of Australia boasts beauty serene
We’ve enjoyed your cottage and are revived from our rest,
Thank you for sharing - our family is blessed !

Amazing views
The striking thing about this property is the views of the lakes. The location and proximity to great walks and coastline is fantastic. If you're a birdwatcher, photographer &/or walker, this is the place for you. We spent alot of time watching the water and sky change with the hours. An extraoridnary sight. Great that there's a washer and dryer. This was a bonus. Not sure how it would be in winter if you weren't a fan of lighting a fire.

A peaceful escape
The Lakehouse is a beautiful, historic house in an idyllic and very peaceful setting. It has a well equipped and spacious kitchen and large comfortable sunroom with stunning views over Bridgewater Lake. The house is very clean, comfortable and unfussy. A great sanctuary to escape the overstimulated modern lifestyle most of us lead!

Beautiful views of the lake
Thoughtfully renovated settlers house suitable for couple(s) or family. House is set on ex farm land with resident kangaroos and animals and without a neighbour in site. The house and property overlooks Bridgewater lakes and the caves just over the road. Swimming spot down at the lake for freshwater swimming. Overall very peaceful and a place to get away for everything. Thanks Viona and Hayne.

Away from it all with stunning views
We loved the house and its history. Playing board games in the addition with the floor to ceiling windows while the sun was setting over the lake and kangaroos were grazing right in front of the house was cozy and peaceful. So many amazing walks and landscapes are just a stone throw away and we were particularly impressed with the blowholes which we visited on a windy day. The owners stopped by for a quick chat, which was nice and told us more about the house and the area. Highly recommend staying there for a very relaxing break from the city.
