Set amongst the lakes , the cabins had enough room between them to be be pretty private, the birds and wildlife were stunning, waking in the morning to the bird calls was beautiful,
If I had to complain about something,,, the front gate!! Being right on the corner and having to ring a phone number for it to open it caused a couple of traffic problems,,, until we worked out at how far up the road we could ring and have the gate open for us as we got there,,, (became a bit of a game)š

The property was just as amazing as I remembered from our last visit. The interactive wildlife made our whole group melt and made the trip worth wild.
It isnāt the right environment if you have a late dinner on the verandah as noise over the water travels and conversing and laughing at 8pm will result in noise complaints and constant communications from the property management until we went inside.
Also one of the cabins we were staying in had several door handles (bed room, bathroom) very loose and partially coming out. The shower was either stifling hot or freezing cold. So I would suggest that some TLC is needed in some of the cabins.

The location, such a beautiful location, you relax as soon as you get there. Nice spacious rooms. Well equipped.
Very hard for someone with mobility issues to climb the stairs, hand rails would be great. My mother who uses wheelie walker really struggled to get in.

Fantastic location with everything you need for a great family getaway, large bedroom with the three single beds. Plenty of space in the living area, very comfortable with the bonus of a barbecue and pleasant outdoor terrace overlooking the lake.
The room had a slight damp musty smell at times. Not many power points. But overall nothing to complain about.

We had a very comfortable Cabin which overlooked the lake with all of its Bird Life and Turtles. We spent a lot of our time sitting on the Verandah just taking in the peace and Tranquility of the area and watching Mum and Dad Duck wandering around looking after their family of 13 Ducklings.
The staff were very friendly and also very approachable.
Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat is also situated right next door to a Hotel has good quality meals at reasonable prices.
Nothing to dislike.

Location and the entire greenery and lake surrounding the units. Absolutely great for kids and the staff were very accomodative and knowledgeable of the area.
Mattresses were not very comfortable and few extra power points for kitchen bench area would be handy considering all cooking and equipments were electric. May be the microwavewave can be put in a overhead shelf rather than the bench.
