Lovely accommodation near the lake.
We booked a spacious one bedroom apartment. Kitchen was great. The weather was cold but plenty of heaters were provided.
There was some traffic noise, so double glazing would be a good addition. Staff were polite and friendly.

A great spot
We stayed here for two nights, prior to attending a family function nearby, and it was fantastic. It's very comfortable, clean, quiet, spacious and close to Lake Wendouree. Our check in was quick and professional.
Our only complaint is that the wifi continually drops out.
