Lakeside Inn Illawarra
The room was extremely basic. Not only did it not have a couch to sit on, it didn’t even have a single couch seat. And although I paid extra for a room with a lake view or partial lake view, I can’t remember which, you could only see a bit of the water if you stood in a particular spot in the room ...
