Came down to run the marathon - location for that is perfect! Also if you're a coffee addict the Steaming Bean across the road is brilliant. Accessibility to town is great, BUT - the road is busy (can't imagine what its like in summer). Also, its the worst provisioned place we've stayed in (in terms of foodie extras) which is a bit off considering the price. Can't fault Lakeside accomodation though - they did all they could to sort out this and the issue of wardrobes full of bedding. Finally whats not made clear... The fireplace is NOT available. The downstairs (as visible in pics) is separate and for the owners use only. They turned up on the Friday night and were not exactly quiet - bit of a cheek considering we were paying them $680 a night. Views are great. So if you want access to the Lakeside path for strolls into town, and don't mind the cars its ideal.
