The bathroom looked great and once we saw the bath, we planned a soak, buying bath salts at the local supermarket. Filled the bath a little too hot, left it to cool a little, went back and found the plug wasn't working well and it was half empty.

Good size room. Perfect for pet friendly parents. One small complaint was the small milks in fridge were curdled and fridge set too high which slightly froze some of our items. Overall very happy with the room and service.

Very dated outside and website pictures imply that you will be staying in a cabin by the lake. However in our case this was not so and we were given a room in the shabby main

I did not stay at this property despite having booked and paid online. The lady in reception did offer a different room but in all honesty I couldn’t see it being any cleaner. Mobile phone used to take photos of my drivers license which I have never had before. The worst experience I have had.

All new rooms, staff great, great pillows, but scarce on tea and coffee, milk and biscuits. Had room 5 then 15 as there was a smoker smoking outside our room and the desk clerk totally understood. Also, pet friendly which was a bonus.

When we booked via Expedia we booked a Lakeside Cabin. When we arrived we were charged the same rate but only got a small hotel room.
The beds were shocking and it will be our first and last stay at this property. Check In instructions and room location were non existent till I asked.

We had a wonderful stay at Lakeside Inn. The facilities were pleasant and well looked after. The pool is beautiful, the rooms are great and I nice stroll to the beach. Pet friendly environment with a pet friendly beach near by. Cost is reasonable too. We had a wonderful time. Thank you.

We stayed here on a budget, the beds were comfy, and the kitchenette seemed fresh, but the bathroom was very, very tired. It was clean enough and the late checkon process was simple.

Booking in was quick and easy, room was clean and bathroom renovated. Good size room.

The room was ok but a few maintenance issues needing attention- shower curtain rail coming out of ceiling, wrong type shower head installed (non adjustable so shower spray soaks the door and floor) toilet roll holder coming off wall. Reported these to staff. Bedhead not attached to anything, old curtains. Needs a clean behind and under the beds. No spare blankets or pillows

It was on the lake
The lawns had not been cut for weeks. It was untidy with pieces of the furniture broken, damaged walls and generally run down.

My family and I stayed in the family cabin. The kids bunk bed sheets weren’t changed from previous people, there was holes In the walls from door handles and broken tiles in the bathroom. The benches weren’t wiped down and roaches in the bathroom. Broken fly screens which resulted to the cabin being full of flies. Definitely wasn’t a pleasant stay and not worth $670 for 3 nights will not be coming back.
4.0
Either the property needs a substantial makeover, or owners should consider updating photos on website to match. Cabin had not been cleaned adequately prior to arrival. TV in room does not allow you to plug in hdmi and only has a couple of free to air channels available with poor reception. Dishes require to be washed in bathroom sink. For over $200 per night I would expect not to have the clothes line in the bathroom fall off when I try to hang my towel up.

Great for a one night stay.
Your staff were extremely pleasant.
2.0
Every single toiletry in my cabin was empty. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and dish soap. Found it ironic they had items to wash your dishes but no sink to wash up in. The basin the the bathroom didn’t drain so any sort of rinsing of plates had to be done in the shower. Plates and bowls were dusty and not cleaned in a long time. A previous guests pyjamas were still under the bunk beds. There was an inch of DIRT not dust actual dirt under the lounge and beds. No extra bin liners available. Extra sheets in cupboard but no extra pillows or blankets. The cleaners simply do not care by the looks of it and the owner/managers obviously do not do check overs. Such a shame because the location of this accommodation is as so good.

The check in experience was bland. He wasn’t interested. Just wanted to get the job done. We had questions but he wouldn’t make eye contact.
4.0
The size of the apartment and amount of bedding was great. The pool was lovely. The room was clean and the bathroom was updated and clean. But the room needs maintenance and repairs. The oven wasn’t working, there were no cutting knives provided, the kitchen tap was half hanging out. Overall though, we would book there again.
