Everything you need for a perfect getaway.

Beautiful property with ample space for 3 families. Excellent location, well stocked kitchen (including coffee machines) and plenty of seating in the living room for everyone to sit around for games nights. The Lodge has everything you can think of to make your stay comfortable, with Robyn being an excellent host. We really appreciated the early check in and late checkout. We’ll definitely be back.

Family get together

Great house and location. Lacking attention to detail (some outdoor furniture needs replacing, door lock broken, kids equipment left lying around when we arrived, no seeds to feed the birds, sports balls flat and couldn’t find a pump, garden a little weedy). Minor things which if attention had been paid to them would lift its rating) We loved our stay. With a little maintenance here and there the property would be even better.

A wonderful stay at The Lodge

My family and our friends had a wonderful stay again at the Lodge! We are returning visitors and love the space for our 3 families. We love the games room, tennis court and spacious living areas. Its in such a great spot too, close to tge river and playground and a short walk to the beach and shops. The hosts are wonderful abd very responsive. We will be returning again next year for our annual Anglesea getaway!

Perfect place for a getaway

We loved our stay at the Lodge - everything from the communication, easy check-in, awesome grounds and perfect house for 3 families made our stay brilliant. Only downside was the weather, but that couldn't be helped - and even so, the fire made the house beautiful and toasty

Family Celebration

We had a wonderful time. The house/property is amazing. The beds were very comfy and the weather was superb as it turned out. Feeding the beautiful birds was a hit too. Most of the group went for walks...our eldest grandson went for a 15km run - he had had to work so didn't come til late Sat arvo. We took a while to work out how to operate the stove - but found all instruction manuals. Ditto with the spa - which was enjoyed immensely. There were lots of activities for the 5 children under 9 - trampoline and just running outside. All in all a wonderful weekend. Trish and Bill

Generous, practical house for 2 families

The house has plenty of room for 2 families and is well equipped. It’s a lovely place but easy to keep clean and tidy and the tennis court was a great hit with our teens. It’s an easy walk to the shops but we found it easier to drive to the beach with all the beach toys. Thanks for allowing us and our canine family members to stay. We’ll be back!

Another wonderful week at The Lodge

As the grandchildren get older, they remember how much they enjoy their Anglesea experience, and eagerly look forward to the next one. They love riding round and round the tennis court, and then venturing off with parents and grandparents to the playground, the river, the beach, and the obligatory ice cream. The house with its different areas suits our growing family of 6 adults, 5 children and one baby perfectly. And finishing the night off in the huge spa is a real highlight.

A property that has it all

Our group of 4 families spent Christmas at this property. This property has everything! Tennis court, basketball ring and trampoline for sunny days. Indoor spa and board games for rainy days. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances, utensils and crockery, even pantry staples. Thank you for making our holiday a memorable one!

The Lodge didn't disappoint!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge. 3 families with 8 children and we had plenty of space. The set up was perfect for us and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the games room, spa and tennis court. We had wonderful weather and played lots of tennis and enjoyed being outdoors with the local king parrots. The Lodge is in a fabulous location, tucked away and nice and quiet, but just a short walk to the river and playground, local shops and beach. The host is super responsive and helpful. We had an awesome time and have re-booked for next year already!

Great house, large enough to accommodate three families. Huge kitchen with loads of appliances. Lots of room to spread out, the kids loved the tennis court. We also had the spa/games room and the spa got a workout each day! Nice walk into town, not too far away.

Fantastic multi-family accommodation

We love this property and have stayed here with family a number of times now. It’s the first time we’ve stayed there with a 1year old though, so I guess parents need to be mindful that it’s not overly baby-safe. There were sewing needles in one of the drawers that the 2yo & 4yo were able to access. Things like that. We plan to return probably 2 years, so we don’t have to keep such a keen eye on the younger kids. Robyn and her husband are lovely to communicate with.

Wonderful family holiday

This is a perfect house for grandparents, parents and small children. It really suited the 2 and 4 year olds one week and 3 and 5 year olds the other week and their parents and us. Plenty of space so everyone can manage their time and fun. Wet day - no problem - have a spa or ride a bike on the tennis court. The 4 snd 5 year olds totally mastered their bike riding in the week they were here and finally enjoyed the flat bike paths and bridges over and around the river just nearby and the best playground. The spa was a huge success with everyone. Tennis and the trampoline provided hours of entertainment for all. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable and has an excellent floor plan - even for three groups. A big thank you to Robyn and Tony. We had a wonderful beach holiday and have booked for 2024. Penny

Another wonderful stay at the Lodge

We've just returned from another fabulous week at The Lodge. Everyone had a wonderful time. The tennis court is just fabulous for our grandkids (ages 2-9). Four of them have now learned to ride during our week at the beach (riding round and round the tennis court, with parents and grandparents trailing behind); and the new trampoline was a huge hit and very safe. The huge spa continues to be a favourite. We're already looking forward to next year!
