"The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was fantastic. Restaurants and shops were just a short walk away, making it very convenient. The amenities were good, and having a laundry room on-site was a definite plus. Shared kitchen was clean. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!"
"First night regular room . The view was great but bathroom was the particularly new nor meticulate. Check in staff were courteous and friendly but dining staff not particularly friendly especially when tried ask a question.
Send night was a suite room and therefore the decor and bathroom was much better . 4/5 grade seems very fitting"
"This cottage exceeded expectations. The photos didn’t show all the eclectic, quaint decor that added to the overall character. The mattresses were newer (not overly soft/worn). We oooed and ahhhed at the original details but enjoyed all the modern conveniences as well. We even built a fire in the fireplace and relaxed listening to the crackles :) We had everything we needed for a very comfortable, enjoyable nights stay."
"Pros; clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet, private, nice landscaping.
Cons: smelled musty, dated interior (or is it intentionally retro..)
A wonderful spot close to the lake at the end of a road. We only encountered staff as we were leaving. My wife and I stayed in one of the cottages before a Doubtful Sound cruise. It is a peaceful place."
"Great stay at Shakespeare House! Nice clean room and very modern. Great owners who were helpful with recommendations if things to do and providing assistance where needed"
"I stayed in one of the cabins for two nights in October 2026. It was lovely and clean, and quiet. I had everything needed to ensure a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Mike who I met on arrival. It’s is within walking distance to the shopping area and the lakefront. I would definitely recommend staying there and will do so myself."
