Lake House Daylesford

It was a rushed booking on Saturday afternoon in Ballarat. Nothing was left except motels and high end accommodations. The stay was very nice, perfect for a family. Meals were included which is a surprise. Delicious french dinner and lovely walking trail around lakes.

we had a great stay spending 3 nights pampering ourselves. This is a high end establishment with luxury and quality in mind and we weren't disappointed. Autumn is definitely a time to visit and Salus a great spa to experience. The room was well appointed with an open fireplace and heated floors and well proportioned king size bed. Always helpful the front of house were friendly and accommodating. Not the place to stay during the kid basketball tournament but definitely a place for luxury, gourmet food and relaxation. Minor points to note is that internet reception in our room was poor - we didn't care as we were trying to avoid electronics anyway and we did not bring it to the attention of the concierge. Breakfast and dinner packages are great for a day or two(or for the very energetic) but 3 nights was too much food- in retrospect one day too many of rich lovely food. The kitchen also made a major plating mistake on one night which for a top end restaurant was a little sloppy. The front of house were very apologetic and smoothed things over but I sincerely hope that the kitchen lifts its game on the pass to ensure perfection every time as is expected from such a great place and kitchen. Having said all that I would be back there tomorrow if I had the time and budget as it was a great 3 days.
