Lovely apartment with even lovelier view

A friendly welcome from the reception team. Apartment was a studio with kitchenette on the top floor. It was clean, spacious, had good amenities and was close to shops and restaurants. The view of Picton harbour from our balcony was absolutely amazing, we could’ve stayed there all day watching the works go by. One night was not long enough!

I had previously stayed at this property and did discuss a number of concerns that had arisen with our last stay but decided to come back again as I felt that one stay should not define what this property is all about. This time I was very, very impress with my stay and the room I was given hence I gave a 5 star rating. It is so ideal for overnight stays and just to spend time away with your partner. I was given accommodation on the bottom floor which allowed easy access in and out for me especially carrying some very heavy suitcases but also recovering from head and shoulder injury. Well done Lake Front Lodge, will definately come back again!

Pictures look better than reality

The lodge is located next to a busy road, after which is the lake, not as peaceful as it looks in the picture. The “balcony” is actually the walkway for the rooms upstairs, often we had to close the draps for privacy.

Okay, so let’s get this out the way: it’s a little dated but only to the 80s with some interesting decor. Something of an old school motel. But it’s clean, very well equipped, and the real winning quality: in a FANTASTIC location. You couldn’t ask for a better spot. And a shout out to John: a real friendly chap and genuinely welcoming.
