The "Resort" appears to be a combination of units owned by private investors and units operated by the resort. We arrived at a relatively quiet period and there were not many units occupied.
Luckily we were allocated a "front" unit with a great view of the lake and mountains. Not all units will have this.
There are a couple of small swimming pools and spas and small games room and gym.
The units ( 2 bedroom) are spacious and comfortable, and I would say 3 star level.
The internet connection was usually slow, and often cut out. They told me they had recently upgraded this, but in my view the internet service was poor. Also you have to pay for internet on top of room charge which is a bit of a bugbear for me.
The lighting in the lounge room area was poor, being a single energy saving bulb which made it difficult to read in that area, and felt a little gloomy. The kitchen and bedrooms had good lighting though.
The location is quiet and out of town a couple of kms so really you need a car to stay here.
So the plusses are the spaciousness of the units and the view if you get a "view" unit.
Just a couple of irritations about poor internet service and poor lounge area lighting.
