The hotel was exceptionally clean and extremely comfortable; very well appointed motel cabins, beautifully comfortable beds and well stocked cupboards and lovely toiletries. All the staff on site were excellent especially young Dylan in the restaurant and bar. Evenings by the fireside were very cozy and welcome, some great food from the kitchen too - phenomenal apple pie! We had underestimated how quiet Miena would be in winter, also extremely disappointed the local trout was nowhere to be found anywhere on any menu throughout the central plateau that we could find. As we were travelling with our young son, a couple of board games or cards available to play in the bar or cabin would’ve been appreciated. Otherwise, a really excellent accommodation.

The property is as expected, when you have limited options you're going to get bare basics. The shared facilities do the job, they're maintained and kept clean. The room I had was cozy yet spacious enough, the bed comfortably and warm, very warm. The room decor is lodge like and feels welcoming. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall, good stay and beautiful area to explore. The food at the hotel is Absolutely TOP NOTCH! They do a phenomenal job there with meals.

This hotel has been newly renovated in a very modern interior. We had the king with kitchenette for my mum and me and we were super comfy. The restaurant and bar area are so cozy and warm and great atmosphere. Definitely will go back and would highly recommend to anyone doing a scenic trip through the Central Highlands to use this as a point of stay...wonderful staff as well..

Booked king deluxe room which was very small, no cupboard to hang clothes, dinner was available from 6pm until 9.30pm yet we arrived at 7.15pm to be told kitchen is closing. They did however take our order but while sitting there having dinner staff were vacuuming and putting chairs on tables which made us feel uncomfortable and rushed our dinner. Room cost $320 overnight which is ridiculously overpriced for what you get.

The Great Lake Hotel lies way up on the central plateau and hence is a great place to explore this alpine wilderness. If you like trout fishing there is ample choice. Regarding the Hotel, rooms are very comfortable, staff are so friendly, restaurant is good and the wallabies are a delight in the evening. This is a great place to relax for a few days.

I didn't like the food from the restaurant. They fry fries in the same pan as they fry fish, horrible. Everyone gets the same sause over there meat, kangaroomeat etc. Too salty. It's a great pity because there are no other options within 40km. The room was very nice, clean, heating below the blankets as it can be cold during the night. Heating with a dyson ventilator works very well.
