Reviewed By I3627CYjasonm

I just stayed at the hotel and had a great weekend. The suites are huge and very clean. The food was excellent. In particular, I found the waiter by the pool, Teddy, extremely attentive and very friendly. He has a very big smile, which really made me feel welcome. I will be going back to the hotel.

A great place to spend some days at the lake..

Reviewed By huckf2021

This place is comfortable, clean and just an easy, relaxing place to be. The staff are all super friendly and the food is good. You can take paddle boards or a kayak out onto the lake (and you should!). You can also walk into town quite easily. We really enjoyed our days here and I hope to be back soon.

My experience at Eden Estates

Reviewed By 545noelk

I had a chance to experience the difference at Eden. Beautiful place. Food is good and can be improved. I feel the conference room is not conducive for events at this time. No tiles, plus the furniture is very poor. If they can work on the conference room and bring up to great, standards I will be happy to recommend to all my peers.

Decent hotel with excellent restaurant

Reviewed By leyton84

Hotel is pretty good but there are definite areas of improvement. Hot water is not a given. If you're lucky,you may be able to have a hot shower but most days there wasn't any for me. The bed is quite firm and a bit short so if you're tall, your legs will dangle out. The good points are, the staff are very accommodating and the restaurant within the hotel is fantastic with quite a varied menu. There is also a really nice bakery attached to the hotel which makes everything grey in house.

Safari Beach Lodge

Fantastic :)

Reviewed By rachelrobson

II couldn't recommend staying at the Safari Beach lodge more. The setting is idyllic and the staff are super friendly- going out of their way to ensure you have a good stay. The rooms are basic, however, you are not going there to stay inside your room- but instead you will be enjoying the stunning views from the property and the wildlife surrounding them (especially the monkeys!). There are a number of activities available too, we got a boat to lizard Island and you can do a guided hike. I thought the food was great too- one evening the staff organised a meal on the terrace for us overlooking the lake- such a special evening. I will remember this trip for years to come- thanks for such a memorable stay!
