This led to major storage issues in the 8 bed dorm and a rather cluttered room. - quite a walk into town compared with other places (I hurt my ankle on a trek though so may have felt longer than it actually was)"

Kamana Lakehouse

5/5 Excellent
Lovely spot
"The rooms are getting a bit shabby the walls need a paint & the carpets need shampooing, overall very comfortable a bit over priced. A nice quiet area to stay, a bit out of the main CBD. The restaurant was fabulous, great staff"
