Great location and fantastic staff.
Liked: Location is great. Staff is wonderful-friendly and there when you want but not hovering.Not just pet friendly but pet welcoming! That’s very hard to find.Because it was March not many people so almost had the place to ourselves with two large comfortable common rooms where we could make ourselves coffee, play board games and entertain our 8 month old grandson.
Disliked: Only complaint was the room we had #1, needs an upgrade. There was a broken back on one chair and a broken bottom on a wing back chair. However my son & daughter-in-law’s room on the 2nd floor looked much better. So maybe just some rooms need an update.That was really my only complaint.

Wonderful getaway! We would definitely...
Liked: Super friendly staff! Room was ready when we arrived. Everything was very clean. Comfortable beds, lots of pillows! So many great places to hang out in to talk, relax or play cards. The kitchen on the second floor was a wonderful surprise as it was available for guest use and well equipped. The made to order breakfasts were amazing!! We had room 1, which was a walkout to the pool area. Outside was a table with umbrella and chairs which we made great use of! Lots of lounge chairs available around the pool. As there are only limited rooms at this resort, nothing was crowded.
Disliked: The location is not close to restaurants. We didn't realize we could use the kitchen so were not prepared with our own food. The food truck had an awesome menu but unfortunately was closed as the resort was short staffed.

This is the spot if...
Liked: This is quite an exceptional looking building and I can see why it's main income will be from hosting weddings during the season. It's in a pretty quiet spot and our room was nicely designed, albeit feeling a little out-dated with decor.
Disliked: From my initial understanding whilst researching bookings it was on the lake which it absolutely is not. This hampered things in multiple ways. I had expected to be able to have access to the lake and maybe that was possible somehow, but it's situated on the edge of a holiday home / park residence which if you walk through you can see the lake but I have no idea how to get to it.I'd hoped to be able to paddleboard out, no facilities, no equipment which for some reason I had believed to be the case. Beyond breakfast service there's really no engagement or interaction with staff. It would have been nice to have had even a basic bar running, but we made use of stores in Brighton and did our own thing in the communal kitchen and living area on the 1st floor

Nice place, it has much...
Liked: The location is interesting to go to the main beaches and wineries. Breakfast is excellent.
Disliked: On the Booking app, for the room I have rent, there was a picture showing a nice and spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi. Truth is, there was no jacuzzi, either no spacious bathroom. Also, the mattresses were in bad shape for a KING ROOM. Kind of disappointed.

All in all a great...
Liked: The location is near perfect just by the lake (doesn't have a lake view but it is about a 2-minute-long walk), tranquil with nature around. We had booked our room on the ground floor facing the pool and that turned out to be our private pool of sorts as we could slide open the window and walk out to the pool area:-)Only one more room had a similar view and access as any other guest would have to access the pool area through a separate entrance. But again if there are guests around the pool area then one would have to keep the curtains/ windows closed for privacy. We got lucky as the area was almost always empty:-)The shared kitchen was also of great use as we could heat up our food, use the cutlery and have a peaceful dinner in the dining area. (If you are a late dinner eater like us it will be a good idea to pack some food as otherwise you won't find anything around for food late in the night.)The breakfast was terrific (also unlimited) and the service was the cherry on the cake:-)
Disliked: ONLY if the beds were a little longer and the pillows smaller (flatter)! I am 5 ft 11" and my feet below the ankles were hanging out of the mattress in my sleeping position. Also, the height of the pillows gave me a neck ache in the middle of the night and I used the backrest cushion of the sofa as my pillow for the rest of the night. Again my wife who is 5 ft 2" was ok with the bed length but the pillows were uncomfortable for her as well.Not sure if all the beds are of the same length but if one is not as tall as me and can carry their favorite pillows with them then this won't be an issue at all:-)

Disappointing, it would be a...
Liked: The breakfast staff were excellent, kind and helpful. The hot tub was broken, should have posted ahead if time that it was out of order. The pool was freezing. The place is so pretty but is filthy dirty. The floors and baseboards are dusty, from the front deck to the upstairs. The chairs out front were covered in pollen dust, and cobwebs. Needs attention to details.
Disliked: Needs paving to reduce grit and dust, needs matts to reduce the transfer of grid throughout the building. Needs someone to clean entrance so it looks cared for.
