Travelled with family
Liked: Staff & service
Pleasant lakeside cabins; very responsive staff; good prices; fantastic views of the lake. Beach consists of rocks; access road poor; located in a village which can be noisy. Owner very pleasant and accommodating. Clean, and would stay again, but not appropriate for a "luxury" lakeside stay.

Amazing place
Although a bit run down it was impossible to fall in love with the location. Because we were on our honeymoon l had book the luxury lodge unfortunately we were one day late due to border problems then when we did arrive we were told our lodge had been booked out to others. however, the staff were lovely and after offering us numerous bottles of wine as compensation for the oversight.

Beautiful cliffside lodge right by the beach
We only planned to stay 2 nights here over Christmas, but the setting, staff and owners were all so nice that we had to extend by two more. Dixon, Gilbert and Kingston are all fantastic characters that really make you feel welcome and add that family vibe. Thanks also to Paul and Collette for making us feel that much more at home. We'll be back for sure.
