We stayed at Lake House in January 2012. We loved the setting and dinner at the restaurant was truly one of the best meals we have ever had with service to match. But the accommodation was not up to the same standard. Our bathroom flooded when we had a shower, the efforts by the staff to fix this resulted in... More

My husband and I stayed at Lake House for one night in February 2012. We have stayed before and eaten at the restaurant a number of times and were really looking forward to this occasion. The Hotel did not disappoint - it was even better than last time. Every care is taken with this property to ensure that guests needs... More

My family and I stayed at the Lake House on Australia Day and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The accommodation was good and we had views out over the lake which was a bonus. The only criticism that I make of the accommodation is that the floor boards on the decks outside our rooms need to be replaced as they have... More

My wife and I stayed at The Lake House for 2 nights in December 2011 and found it to be one of the most relaxing weekend escapes we have had for a long time. Our room was extremely spacious and in great condition and overlooked Lake Daylesford and the beautiful gardens surrounding the lake. The rooms are air conditioned, which... More

I stayed at The Lake House for 4 nights in September and I relished every single minute. The suites were beautiful, cleverly furnished with natural and local products. I appreciated the nespresso machine in the room , the heated tiles in the bathroom and the alpaca throws. Waking up each morning to the sound of ducks and geese with a... More

Stayed for several nights during the Christmas period and was utterly disappointed with the lakehouse for the following two reasons: 1. Food Having heard that the restaurant had received rave reviews from a variety of sources, I had high expectations for the quality of the food. Unfortunately the restaurant failed to deliver. I found the food over engineered in that... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review the Lake House. I was disappointed to read your stay with us did not meet your expectations. In terms of the food - the dishes on the menu and the menu itself are constantly evolving. The chef's use seasonal products, much of which is sourced from the region. Bearing this... More

Beautiful setting, garden, welcoming & polite staff, clean & tasteful decor. A gorgeous place to stay & relax in quiet location. A special anniversary beckoned & where better to spend it than Daylesford. BUT, & I cannot avoid this one disappointment - the evening meal was in this category. There are other excellent restaurants to choose within the township but... More

Having booked the Lake House for an overnight stay en route to Moama NSW I was somewhat concerned to read the review by bittenbytheTbugz. We were warmly welcomed at reception and shown to our lakeside view bedroom. In a block of four guestrooms with a large, clean, veranda overlooking the Lake. Well appointed, bright and spacious. The bathroom with the... More

This place is a real rip off. For A$500 plus a night I was expecting to be hella lot more wowed. Instead, we got a very basic unimpressive tiny room facing an equally unimpressive lake. Are they being serious here? What's with all the rave reviews on the place??? Do these reviewers not have any sense of what's value for... More

It is true we are not the least expensive hotel in Daylesford, however, we pride ourselves on delivering a high quality product. This is evidenced in the success of our multi award winning hotel, spa and Two Hat restaurant. We do offer inclusive packages of dinner,... More
