Lake St Clair Lodge

Staff were great. Lovely lunch and dinner options and desserts were amazing. Cabin was ok, but parking a bit challenging in some cabins. Accessibility also a bit of a challenge, ramps don't always lead to the carpark or other useful areas. Not a lot of privacy in the cabin, soundproof though. Included breakfast was poor. The range of options provided was as expected, but toasters didn't work properly, bacon was chewy and scrambled eggs discoloured and rubbery. Lots of great walks around the area and a beautiful spot.

The food in the restaurant for dinner was delicious but breakfast was disappointing. Adding wifi to rooms would be of great benefit. I wasn’t stating there to escape the world but as part of a motorbike tour. Made it hard to check next day weather

Very over priced for what it is. Its best feature is the location on the banks of Lake St Clair. Cabins were basic, for the price they charge. Bed and pillows weren’t great. Our fridge was very noisy throughout the night. Shower is smallish. No wifi or mobile reception in room. There was wifi in the reception area only. We had dinner in the restaurant. Food was disappointing. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Super Umgebung und moderne Ausstattung. Für Selbstversorgung ist die Logde nicht ausgestattet und das restaurant schnell ausgebucht. Wie soll man sich dann ernähren?

Being in the National Park right at the lake (with a view, but not all cabins have that). Did not like the breakfast (very basic) and that there was no basic kitchen in the cabin. The price is pretty high (monopoly).

Outstanding location in the middle of outstanding, unique nature. The cabins are comfortable but outdated, no internet connection or mobile signal and poor TV reception in the accommodation areas. Whilst the eco branding is great, in this day and age there is no excuse for lack of signal availability across the whole accomodation area, for the price that is charged per night.

Not a great experience for an expensive hotel. The fridge was very noisy making it difficult to sleep. When I got up during the night to investigate I found it was not working properly. I had medication that needed to be kept cold in the fridge which was now warmer than reqd. I reported this to the staff the next day but they were not overly interested. The next day there was a power blackout in the cabins but the admin office was not affected as they had a back up generator. Again the staff were not interested.

great location, very private, nice chalet.. right next to National Park.. dining hours are short and only starts at 6pm.. Great breakfast tho.

Lovely remote retreat. Rooms are spacious and warm. Bathrooms are clean and recently renovated. They are very comfortable. The rooms are a long way from the restaurant area a consideration for older people or less mobile but easy walking track about 5-10 minutes walk. TV are are tiny, my husband had to wear his glasses to see. The only fail is that it should be stated there is no phone signal or wifi in the room, only at the restaurant. If people know they can make their own choice. Friendly staff who are try hard but in a remote area are a bit understaffed.

Simple rooms, but comfortable for a night. Hotel staff were great and the restaurant has a great food selection and lovely open fires to sit by in winter.

The cabin was very clean & bed comfy. This was our first stay in the wilderness, & it was so lovely. So quiet & peaceful. And we had a beautiful meal in the restaurant. We loved our stay here.

Clean cosy lodge , friendly staff and good food . Lots of walks of all levels

Extremely overpriced for what the accomodation is. Staff seemed very unhappy. Cobwebs in room and no heater in room. V. disappointed.

Location was great. Lodge building was beautiful and staff at reception and the restaurant were friendly and helpful. Cabin was ok - clean but a bit dated. We were given an accessible room which was unnecessary and a bit disappointing. If you are going during the rainy season, be prepared for a muddy walk to the cabin.

Great surroundings with peaceful calm environment. The room is very nice and clean.

It was set in the most beautiful of settings. The cabin was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Unfortunately our toilet didn’t refill automatically and had to be filled using the kettle otherwise the water pump went on and off constantly. Also our complimentary breakfast was awful. It was luke warm at best and our toast was thin, white cold bread with no butter. Even after we asked for it. Disappointing given the cost of the accommodation. There is also no gf options for dinner so my daughter had fry chicken with no sauce. Normally not one to complain, but given the expense of this accomodation I would have thought the breakfast could have been better and having 1 gf option on the menu.

While our cabin was clean and cosy unoccupied cabins appeared untidy. The main dining and bar area was always very clean and warm, and manned by very welcoming and helpful staff.

Very clean. Big bed. Plenty of space. Very good , new walk/ in shower room. Amazing views of lake

Room was clean and facilities within the room were good. Rooms were more or less cabins in a location remote from the main building down a bush track. If you have any mobility issues this is not the place for you. At $400 a night we thought that it was vastly overpriced.

What a beautiful, peaceful location! Pristine air and surrounds make for a relaxing and refreshing stay. The cabin was well-appointed, very clean and the bed and pillows were confortable and supportive for my arthritic back problems. Recep However, we were disappointed by the restaurant/cafe options. The website describes a menu of organic choices from a wide range of Tasmanian produce. This is incorrect. Whilst, as a business owner, I am only too aware of the staffing issues being experienced world-wide at present, the menu was so limited there was only one option for my vegetarian daughter and as I have wheat allergy, my options were similarly limited. Lake St Clair is a little way from major centres, but freezers are a pretty great way to prep and store prepackaged or fresh food. Having worked extensively in hospitality, I thought the Management lacked imagination and experience, which translated to the staff. The coffee machine wasn't switched on until 11am and people staying or returning from hikes were desperate for a proper coffee, which, when it finally arrived, was pretty awful. Talking to many experienced hikers who have been there many times, the restaurant and cafe has a long-standing pretty bad reputation and they avoid it. With the sheer numbers of people passing through this facility, it could be a poular goldmine, but is really missing the mark. We actually got in the car and drove six kms to the nearest cafe to get a good coffee!

Fitout was very Bunning / K mart Quality, all white interior with no pictures needs an interior designers touch, Kitchen had no Nespresso or Microwave far to basic, deal breaker was Lodge 15 is by the lake with a mean window in the kitchen so high we couldn't see out and no picture window facing the Lake - so I felt very ripped off!! Space was good and the bed was great, also very warm

The owner was very friendly and helpful, as were all the staff. Would have liked a microwave in the cabin but it’s not a deal breaker. The gas log fire in the cabin was lit which made for a warm and cozy welcome when we checked in. The bed and bedding were nice, warm and comfortable. As it gets pretty cold there, electric blankets might be a nice touch, that way you don’t need to leave the gas heater on most of the night. All in all, we had a lovely time.

An amazing room with an exquisite view of the Lake. Room was toasty warm when we arrived, and the spa was a welcome addition.

The property is within the national park providing easy access to the lake & its surrounding. It was a two storey rustic cottage. However, the bedrooms were at the loft above and were too small for the big luggages to be opened. Heating was via a central unit and could only reach one of the bedroom.

Location was great. Lodge building was beautiful and staff at reception and the restaurant were friendly and helpful. Cabin was ok - clean but a bit dated. We were given an accessible room which was unnecessary and a bit disappointing. If you are going during the rainy season, be prepared for a muddy walk to the cabin.

Very clean. Big bed. Plenty of space. Very good , new walk/ in shower room. Amazing views of lake

We stayed in a cabin which was little bit dated for the price, but clean and comfortable. You are basically paying for the location - which is awesome

Staff were good and wilderness setting magnificent. We booked the top level room available and paid accordingly but were very disappointed, no real fire place (gas), dated, basic and needs some work to match the price point. Okay if you’re a hiker needing a place to stay but not what you’d expect if you’re a couple on holiday touring Tasmania. Better elsewhere and can see why it wasn’t busy.

Admin we’re good. The shack itself was very basic. No microwave. Heating good. Bathroom stop class. Not impressed, expected much more finesse towards customer on “Shack”itself

Clean cosy lodge , friendly staff and good food . Lots of walks of all levels

Extremely overpriced for what the accomodation is. Staff seemed very unhappy. Cobwebs in room and no heater in room. V. disappointed.

The setting is simply stunning and couldn't be better located. All the walks start from there and so incredibly convenient. The lake view room was just fabulous, with a gas log fire that worked brilliantly. It was disappointing that there is no comfy area to just sit and chill and have a drink. There's 2 places to eat, one just serves burgers and pizza, and the other has a small but more upmarket menu . Sadly they literally have no staff, so the service was appalling. One clearly fed up server, trying to take orders, deliver food, clear up and make the drinks. Took an hour before a coke and a beer were brought to the table. Breakfast was really basic and ran out after 20mins, then had to wait for the poor chef to try and replenish it. No plates as washing up hadn't been done! There's so many simple ways they could make money and help guests., eg have a selection of sandwiches and fresh fruit for people to buy to take on their long walks. Such a shame as the lodge is fab and with a couple of extra staff and some business acumen it would get top marks

Beautiful setting, very quiet. Reception and restaurant staff could have been more knowledgeable on the local area and walks from the lodge. Staff seemed overloaded for only a small number of guests but were very helpful.

A beautiful destination, great facilities, a little expensive, but being in the middle of nowhere, it was value for money. The receptionist on arrival was extremely busy, and alone, but was an absolute gem~ should be commended for his patience, pleasant attitude and acknowledgement of those waiting. The gin was awesome.

Lovely remote retreat. Rooms are spacious and warm. Bathrooms are clean and recently renovated. They are very comfortable.

Staff were amazing and the food was fantastic. Totally enjoyed our our stay

It was such a peaceful place to stay. Plenty of walks on offer, as well as plenty of time to relax!

Spectacular views. Expensive accommodation

The Lake St Clair is perfectly located on the edge of Lske St Clair

Great access to walking tracks in National Park. Comfort and convenience in the wilderness. Gorgeous views of pristine lake.

Great surroundings with peaceful calm environment. The room is very nice and clean.

great location, very private, nice chalet.. right next to National Park.. dining hours are short and only starts at 6pm.. Great breakfast tho.

Relaxing and peaceful in stunning surroundings

It's a beautiful place, peaceful and lovely walking tracks.

Absolutely amazing place. The lake is spectacular and the Lodge sits beautifully alongside it, letting you take it all in. It’s literally in the middle of ‘nowhere’ and what a place ‘nowhere’ is! Great service, great meals. Extremely memorable. Recommend.

This place is terrible value. Stingy, stingy, stingy breakfast for such a high priced place, too few staff very poorly trained, no excuse for no wifi given the price and lack of phone signal. The amazing location is 5 minutes from Derwent Bridge where much better value for money and service can be found. This was the most expensive place we stayed in 4 months in Australia and is not comparable more economic options in other iconic locations. Cradle Mountain Hotel for example was a lot cheaper and 20 times better in terms of food and service. The accommodation was better there too but I accept that in such a sensitive and exclusive location the operator's hands are somewhat tied in terms of the infrastructure.

Staff were great. Lovely lunch and dinner options and desserts were amazing. Cabin was ok, but parking a bit challenging in some cabins. Accessibility also a bit of a challenge, ramps don't always lead to the carpark or other useful areas. Not a lot of privacy in the cabin, soundproof though. Included breakfast was poor.

Beautiful setting. Poor buffet breakfast.

Great location, good site room, you have to know that when using water the waterpump is going on snd that is very loud, you will your neighbours. As good as breakfast was, dinner was a very difficult story. They tell you „when“ you can order, nothing on the menu can be changed (if you like salad insted of chips or vegies, not possible), it then takes ages till you get your dinner. Quality is good, but the way and the feeling… not a nice experience in such a beautiful spot! Also the hotel does not tell you that it is wirin the national park and you have to get a pass. It would just be nice to know up front what the cost is.
