Excellent

It was a very convenient place to stay. Having a microwave and toaster was perfect for us. The room was adequate in size, with a fold up table and chairs. The was some noise from the adjoining room.
The laundry was convenient but fairly expensive and needed coins.
The restaurant was very good with delicious smoked duck and a helpful and attentive waitress.
The walk around the little lake was pleasant.

The Lodge was fabulous. Very comfortable.
Beautiful property. Peaceful overnight.
Would love to stay again.
One small thing for housekeeping, it was great having crockery, cutlery, cutting board, etc with a basket containing dishwashing liquid, sponge and an electrostatic clothe … but no tea towel ???

Arrived at 4pm on the hottest day of the year in Pemberton at 41 degrees and was given a room facing west with the doors and windows wide open and the room was like an oven. We had to close everything and set the aircon to 20 degrees and go out for 4 hours before we could use the room. A tiny bit of forethought a few hours before, like closing curtains and turning on the aircon, could have made our arrival much more pleasant.
An overnight stop on a longer journey. Dinner in their restaurant. Well equipped but seems to have lost the zing and out of kilter with the way Pemberton presents.
Very nice place to stay. Stunning surroundings. However, I would not recommend Shefingo's, the restaurant on site. Service excellent but the food that I and my friends had, tasted as was cooked by an amateur.
Check in process was easy and I felt very welcomed. The room felt very homey and was very clean. There was a variety of options from the minibar and kitchen (including appliances etc). Nice walk around the property to view the lake and wild life around (birds, kangaroos).
It’s probably the most comfortable hotel stay we’ve ever had. We also had dinner at the restaurant, the food was awesome and the service was great! Looking forward to stay again one day, thank you.
Likes:
- Quiet
- coffee machine
Dislikes
- only given 1 coffee capsule per guest per night ( any additional are payable, how much are these capsules anyway that they should charge guests who are paying $150 per night stay)
- we stayed 2 nights and the cleaning was not thorough ( trash cans not emptied , carpet not vacuumed)
- very expensive restaurant , most guests evidently choose to dine elsewhere
Very clean comfortable room with all that was necessary had we brought our own breakfast supplies. Friendly staff in a lovely country setting. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and breakfast was well catered for too. Easy walk around the lake/dam with lots of bird life, plus wallabies/kangaroos to watch.
A beautiful place to stay, I loved the surroundings, wildlife and accessibility into town. We enjoyed the meal at the restaurant though would have liked a staff person on hand to help with operating the pancake machine. We did get help from the front desk personnel but perhaps a person in the dining room would be better. Very friendly cleaning staff, greeted with a smile.
