Room Types
The hotel offers two types of studios, Lodge Studios and Waterfront Pool Studios, three type of suites, Lodge Suites, Waterfront Suites and The Sutton Suite as well as seperate accommodation at The Retreat.
The majority of the rooms that are on offer are in the “lodge” or “waterfront” categories and the major difference is the location of the room. As the name suggests, all waterfront rooms are located overlooking Lake Daylesford and offer a balcony or patio to take in the country air. The lodge rooms are located on the other side of the building, offering a patio or balcony with views facing into the hotel grounds.
Key difference between a Studio and a Suite is in design and space. All suites have been individually designed with unique artwork, created or curated by owner and artist in residence Allan Wolf-Tasker. In addition, the suites feature a seperate living area with dining table, where studios just provide arm chairs. This is something to think about when choosing your package, as some include a room service dinner.
The Retreat is seperate from the hotel but located on the grounds of the hotel behind a discreet gate and includes two seperate villas, The Spa Villa and The Atrium Villa. Essentially all people love about staying at The Lake House but with some additional luxury and privacy.
