We loved everything about our stay at the Wateredge Inn. The place is beautifully decorated, the room was quiet and cozy, parking was so easy and the food was just delicious. We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. We will definitely be back in the future.

Excellent location
Really lovely stay, location excellent, really nice room and breakfast lovely. Food from the bar menu ok, but pricey for what you get, prawn sandwhich was a let down. Would be even better if you could order from the table via app. Will definately go again and recommend.

A decent hotel
We enjoyed a two night break. The hotel was fine, but nothing special. We were comfortable had a decent breakfast but evening meals were unimpressive.

Meh
Unfortunately this one didn’t work for me. The weather was hot, and the room was even hotter. No A/C. Our view was an unsightly roof. The staff chided us for eating our own food even though we purchased beer to drink on the lovely lakeside patio. I accept the rule but it set a negative tone for our stay. The registration area is basically the bar but signage is bad so we had to ask several people just to find it. They still issue actual metal keys for the rooms…not key cards…not sure if this is quaint or horribly out of date.
