The highlights were the hot pool, swim up bar and the game near the reception. Regarding the cabin we just have a few comments: - the lack of privacy between cabins (when we arrived the neighbouring guests were using out balcony and furniture. - it would be nice to have complimentary tea and coffee - there was a hair on the dishes in the kitchen!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Very disappointing

Didn’t end up staying. Room was a very average caravan type accommodation. There were 2 power points which were not connected to the wall and had wires hanging out. Drove into town and booked into a motel that cost less and was on the lake and within walking distance of the shops and restaurants. Returned our keys and explained about the exposed wires in the room and did not hear back from the property. The resort is not close to the lake or town and the pool area is not as attractive as it is depicted on social media. Would not recommend.
