Secrets on the Lake

Fabulous old school values.

The location, views and decor of the treehouses are stunning. "The nest" is advertised as a 3-bedroom treehouse which is suitable for families. I booked for 2 nights for my husband, our tween daughter and I with the plan that we would not be using the double bed in the open plan lounge area. I specifically called reception to confirm that there were two proper bedrooms with doors. However, when we checked in, I was disappointed to see that the master bedroom with the ensuite is more like a granny flat under the main area with its own main door and separate key. To get to it, one needs to exit the main door to the outside, go downstairs and essentially enter a separate apartment downstairs comprising of a bedroom, bathroom and laundry. This would be ideal for another couple. However, it is not ideal for families with children. We ended up using the double bed in the open plan living area instead. This bed in the living area has no privacy and is bathed in light by 5am since most windows do not have blinds. Overall, this treehouse needs some maintenance and should be dusted well before guests arrive. We worried because when hot water is switched on, a strong smell of gas is released in the patio. This is particularly noticeable when filling the spa or when turning the spa heating on. We reported this, but maintenance told us that it is because the system is old. This is concerning.

Secluded and just what we needed, from location, meals, cleanliness and isolation! Just perfect and feel in love with the swing.

the whole experience of and in secrets is truly unique. the only down side was leaving.

Exceeded our expectations

I’m disappointed that my parents were charged for another rooms drinks and we had to wait for our bbq pack to arrive as reception believed it was for another room. This was unacceptable when secrets prides themselves on being up class accommodation.

The location,views, cabins,walkways, and the incredible wood carvings were a unique artistic experience. Only one tiny annoyance…. No butter for our toast!

Our accommodation was in a converted old railway station relocated to site. The location was fantastic. Rainforest all around with a lovely lawn area at the front. It was very private and quite, just the birds in the forest. The shower and toilet were a bit cramped but otherwise it was perfect.

It is very private and relaxing ...a true escape from the everyday world.. Have been going there for years and will always return.

Wonderful location. Unique and beautiful furnishings. Excellent attention to detail and happy, polite and kind service.

Beautiful craftsmanship. Nice views of lake. Privacy. Lovely bush setting. In nature.

Great stay at the Whistlestop cabin. Amazing outdoor spa, truly you wake up in a secluded rainforest

Treetop and secluded location excellent. Recommended for a couple break away

What a gem of a place! We stayed in the Whistlestop cottage. It was lovely. Well appointed and spacious and a logfire was burning on our arrival - it can get a bit chilly in the rainforest at night. On Mondays the restaurant is closed but no problem as a preselected BBQ hamper was delivered to the cottage at about 6pm which we cooked this on the “barbie” area with a spa bath set up a path at the back of the cottage. It was a heavenly spot and was lovely to sit on the verandah afterwards for an after dinner glass of wine before retiring! It is a beautiful part of the world set in the rainforest and you feel as if you are the only people around. Very peaceful. This is highly recommended and we will definitely go back and were only sad that we stayed one night. We had a stroll around the rest of the property and down to the lake the next morning as we checked out . Incredibly beautiful place.

Beautiful location, great privacy and excellent service. Nothing negative about this wonderful venue.

Beautiful surroundings and awesome staff. Loved the wood fire in mid July :)

We had a very enjoyable stay at Secrets on the Lake. The location is amazing and the secluded cabins are beautiful with everything provided to make our stay very memorable. We will definitely be back.

Awesome. Relaxing. Excellent attention to detail. Wonderful staff. Peaceful.

Beautiful wood work in the cabins and the secluded location
