Fantastic stay
Fantastic stay complete with wildlife, good weather and spectacular sunsets. Room very comfortable. Only dissapointment was that the restaurant was closed in the evenings (food in the bistro was very good, but more limited menu and not the same ambiance as lakeside restaurant)

Absolutely beautiful location
Lake Crackenback Resort is amazingly beautiful. I love this place. Each time I’ve stayed the accomodation has been modern, clean, comfortable, and well equipped. All rooms have great views. Nature is at your doorstep. It’s pricey but worth it!

Despite the wet weather, we had a great time at the resort. Lots of walks and animals to see. Breakfast included was ok. No housekeeping during the stay which was odd.

Disliked: Amenities
Beautiful location; chalet itself nice but no wifi; no clothes hangers; no batteries in aircon remotes; tennis courts in dangerous disrepair- ran into falling, rusted metal surrounding/enclosure; clearly no maintenance in a very long time; breakfast was always cold (ie the ‘hot’ food; shrivelled mushrooms; cold ‘toast’; cold roasted tomatoes; dinner really average despite cost; oysters not fresh - stuck to shell.). If l were an owner, I’d be worried about the quality of services offered by resort. I wouldn’t return.

Fine but expensive
Good stay overall. On the expensive side. Chalet was super clean except lots of trash under the sofa (2 bottles and an apple). The chalet did not have any privacy or views, had to keep all curtains closed. Some of the resort equipment needs maintenance, e.g. arrows and trampoline. Breakfast was ok, no revelation.
