Location away from the village but with a few minutes walk to the lake. Beautiful apartment with everything we could possibly need. More like a home than a hotel with a backyard full of roses in bloom, decks to sit out on and to look at the stars, great lounge space and really comfortable bed. The pool is a beautiful temperature and great to swim in after a long drive to get there. The mantra is run by a lovely, friendly manager and great staff. Would highly recommend this accomodation.

Lovely large townhouse complex with laundry available! I still can’t believe I had a whole house to myself! The hotel is a 15 min. walk from the main part of town, where the Intercity bus stop is, and tougher to wheel a suitcase to than I expected due to gravel paths. It’s not a long walk to the lake to see lupins and the area feels very safe. I even managed to get a few night sky photos from the backyard!
