We visited The Lakes Hotel on a day trip from Sydney and tried the Sunday special. The food was excellent! Unfortunately, we couldn’t bring our dog inside, which was disappointing as we love taking him with us when exploring new places. It would be great if there were a dog-friendly outdoor seating area. This affected our experience, especially as we were visiting from out of town. ⭐⭐⭐

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food is really tasty. The rooms are great for two love birds or a single person. One of the best bbq chicken pizzas I’ve had, I love the mushroom and capsicum combo, and it’s old traditional style pizza not the Pizza Hut rubbish,
