Secrets on the Lake

Fabulous old school values.

The location, views and decor of the treehouses are stunning. "The nest" is advertised as a 3-bedroom treehouse which is suitable for families. I booked for 2 nights for my husband, our tween daughter and I with the plan that we would not be using the double bed in the open plan lounge area. I specifically called reception to confirm that there were two proper bedrooms with doors. However, when we checked in, I was disappointed to see that the master bedroom with the ensuite is more like a granny flat under the main area with its own main door and separate key. To get to it, one needs to exit the main door to the outside, go downstairs and essentially enter a separate apartment downstairs comprising of a bedroom, bathroom and laundry. This would be ideal for another couple. However, it is not ideal for families with children. We ended up using the double bed in the open plan living area instead. This bed in the living area has no privacy and is bathed in light by 5am since most windows do not have blinds. Overall, this treehouse needs some maintenance and should be dusted well before guests arrive. We worried because when hot water is switched on, a strong smell of gas is released in the patio. This is particularly noticeable when filling the spa or when turning the spa heating on. We reported this, but maintenance told us that it is because the system is old. This is concerning.

Secluded and just what we needed, from location, meals, cleanliness and isolation! Just perfect and feel in love with the swing.

the whole experience of and in secrets is truly unique. the only down side was leaving.
