The room was great, had everything we needed. The shower is very powerful! The garden patio is lovely and means you can eat meals outside. It’s a short walk to the Lake and the water was just right for swimming.

Lovely place to stay at Two Mile Bay. Is only a short drive to Town. Is right on the lake front with a walk down the side of the motels to the lake edge. Had a lovely courtyard out the rear. Was very quiet. Room was nice. Had a spa bath in upstairs bedroom. Would definitely stay there again.

We loved walking down the path to the water and watching the sunset. We didn’t use the jacuzzi tub but it looked nice. There were ants starting to come in the door frame. They will need to take care of the nest before they start getting into the room itself.

Room smelled terrible. They sent self check in so I didn't see any staff members. Room is pretty old but seemed pretty clean. (Apart from the smell.) VERY close to the lake. Can walk to a few restaurants. Most people would need to drive to the town centre. Depends how much you like to walk.
