The heating was on for us arriving. The lodge was clean and comfortable, kitchen reasonably well appointed and the hot tub was perfect so all in all no complaints More

We have just returned home from a great weekend in Tantara Lodge. Having read some of the negative reviews on here I was a little worried about what we could expect on arrival, but thankfully there was nothing to have worried about. The lodge was warm and cosy, clean, reasonably well equipped, fairly private and in a great location and... More

The main problem was the hot tub which still wasn't up to temperature by Saturday afternoon.

Firstly no one was there to greet us --the key was left in the door . We did know to bring our own towels , but to be honest , for the... More

Had to help other guests to find their accomodation as no staff on duty. Somebody was doing maintenance as a man kept running around with power tools but not clear if he... More
