The property was spacious and had great window covers protecting it from the harsh sun during the day and blocking the light in the morning.

The manager is nice and qas helpful but there are problems with the property that should be taken care of. The 2nd patio door is sitting on the deck leaving the screen door unlockable. We always lock our door at night for sleeping so this was an uncomfortable feeling. The coffee milk in the fridge was sour. The bedding was clean but wrinked as if it had sat in a dryer for hours.

Excellent place to stay at, lodges are nicely fitted out. Very peaceful area. You wouldn't know it was only 10 mins from the shops in Corio.
I would definitely come back to this lodge again.
