We had a nice stay in one of the hotel rooms. Staff were very nice. We didn’t actually golf, we just wanted to stay outside Sydney on our trip. The room was clean, we had a little issue opening the room door but the staff helped us out. The bathroom door didn’t lock or latch properly but we were able to manage that.

The lakes was a beautiful place to stay. The rooms were clean and very large. They have carpet which I don’t love but were very clean and comfortable.it would be nice to have the restaurant open for breakfast as there really isn’t anywhere nearby that serves breakfast. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and the food was very good! They didn’t have a tee time available which was disappointing but overall it was very good value and I would certainly recommend it.

Convenient & scenic location at half the rate of nearby Sydney hotels was how we found this place but now we're telling friends to stay here because WOW. Room was huge, bright, and well-stocked. Lounge food was great. Coffee & breakfast outbuilding was excellent with a very friendly, helpful staffer. Highly recommend!
