A beautiful destination, great facilities, a little expensive, but being in the middle of nowhere, it was value for money. The receptionist on arrival was extremely busy, and alone, but was an absolute gem~ should be commended for his patience, pleasant attitude and acknowledgement of those waiting. The gin was awesome.

Property was sold as a studio sleeping 3. Was not a studio but a bed with a bathroom - with apparantly the option of a portable bed as requested. The description of the property sold on wotif did not in any way match the reality. For $420 tariff dreadful value . I arrived there with my adult son and had to upgrade to a room with kitchen facilities and a lounge so we could at least sit down - this cost was close to $580 for the night . The couch/ sofa bed was vinyl and peeling and looked like it came from the tip shop. No dry pan, chopping board or adequate kitchen supplies . Advise anyone contemplating to give lake st clair lodge a big swerve / dreadful value for money and tired and shabby. Would never g back

This was very expensive accommodation yet there was no cutlery, cutting board, plates, wine glasses, toaster, microwave! The meals were very expensive and not always good, ( terrible pizza $28). No facilities to make our own meals. The breakfast supplied, was so basic, no fruit, no honey for the weetbix, and no alternative milks! Then there was the ‘boat cruise around the lake’ for $75 each, what a joke! One hour ride up the middle to a stop yo pick up some trail walkers then straight back to the lodge. An absolute rip-off!! I would not recommend staying there!

Beautiful surrounding with great & friendly staff at reception. Only complaints is that no other mirror in the room except the bathroom but the mirror is way too high for most and average people able to see. Need a 2nd mirror desperately

Lake St Clair was an unexpected highlight for us. The Lodge was very comfortable and unlike Cradle Moutain - which although wonderful is quite busy, at least in peak season- this place is very peaceful, and walks and lake are accessible. Will definitely come back in winter some time.
