Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Retallack Resort offers a relaxing getaway with spacious and modern accommodations, though some have noted limited opening hours for on-site facilities during certain times. Many guests enjoyed apartments featuring lovely lake views and convenient access to amenities like the swimming pool. Exclusive barns, such as those in The Meadows, provide ample space, hot tubs, and decking areas suitable for larger groups; however, those with dogs should note that some decking areas may not have secure fencing.

Lodge Perfection

luxury lodgeexcellent valuecomfortable bedgreat location
The luxury lodge was pretty good. The value for money was excellent, providing everything one could desire. The master bedroom featured a comfortable bed.. though a mattress cover for the two pushed together would enhance comfort. We would have loved to find salt and pepper in the lodge.
The restaurant wasn't what I was expecting. It seemed to lack attention to detail in decor and food.

The pool is good and the gym and tennis courts are on site. These facilities could benefit from upgrades, yet they remain functional and a welcome addition. There is good free on-site parking.

The location was close to many towns. The lakeside flat was bigger than I expected. There was a lovely view from the balcony, I saw a kingfisher.
There was no facility to light the gas hob. I had to drive back up to the night porter for a lighter. There were no instructions for the washing machine, I needed this. The doors to the external shed were tied together. They blow open in the windy weather. It woke me up in the night.

the oven worked, but we found no instruction booklets for any appliances or the lodge, so we burnt several items. the bath plug control was broken. the cold tap in the kitchen barely worked the first day, then quit completely. i found that the absence of readily available information was frustrating and inconvenient, i would have liked working appliances throughout my stay.

The kitchen had a good variety of equipment. The lakeside flat was gorgeous and was like home. I slept great because it was super quiet and dark.
The tennis courts exist, however, they are unplayable because of a gravelly surface. It is dangerous to run fast on it.
