  • Although it was still raining the Lake Barrine Teahouse was a lovely place to visit right on the lake. They’re famous for their Devonshire Tea and we appreciated that they had a little kiddies play area so we could have some down time with our tea. Lake Barrine is also well known for its relaxing cruises around the volcanic crater brim, or if you’re feeling more energetic there’s a 5km walking track around the lake.

We have stayed at this property several times before and we are never disappointed. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The only suggestion is to have a pillow menu as the pillows were too hard and too high.

Wedding anniversary weekend with our kids. There was space for them to run around and even kick a soccer ball around. The boys made friends with another boy when playing soccer. The grounds are beautiful. The weather was amazing. Would have been lovely to have dinner there too. The included breakfast was perfect.
