We went and stayed here in April. We have been out a few times here and there since. What a wonderful little getaway. The food was fantastic, the room was lovely - even the spa with the brown lake water was awesome (because they are very honest from the start about what to expect). We went on a lovely walk... More

What a shame. Such good potential, but yet again let down by what I've come to expect by the poor level of customer service in the Territory. I'll start with the bad and finish with the good.. The attitude of the lady in charge ruined our whole visit. She looked down her nose at us and you felt like the... More

Came here with a family group and was pleasantly surprised. The food was quite nice, if not a little lean on the veggies. Facilities were surprisingly well maintained and the evening staff were very friendly and accommodating. Shame the same can't be said for the reception staff during the day - they seemed to have forgotten how to smile. That... More

After writing a bad review about the snobby staff and horrible management last year I've returned again this year knowing that the management had changed hands. The staff were lovely to our large group and very accommodating to our needs. The rooms are lovely and were neatly kept. The Extra-King bed in our Spa sweet was the most comfortable bed... More

Sorely disappointed, great location let down by inadequately maintained facilities and inept staff. We decided to start our two day stay with a quick round of mini golf, the course is not maintained with cracked concrete, the artificial turf lifting in a number of places, and when we played mid afternoon it was still covered with leaves and twigs from...

We went to Lake Bennett Resort for New Year's Eve and will definately be going back next year. We had a lovely, relaxing break. The customer service was faultless. Staff were all extremely helpful. The food was exceptional - we had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant and it is the best food we have had since moving to... More

Reading some of the reviews on here, we wondered what to expect at Lake Bennett. In fact, we were very pleasantly surprised. We spent a very comfortable night at this resort, and would happily go back. The hotel rooms are 'motel style', opening straight onto the parking area - but at the other side are balconies set right on the... More

We booked a spa lake view suite. It turned out to be an ordinary sized room with a spa bath on the veranda that had a cold fill directly from the lake. The water smelled really brackish. Other facilities were basic with lights that did not work etc. Many parts of the site were rather untidy. The view from the... More

I am surprised by the previous reviews but I am thankful that the reception that we received was professional, courteous and wonderful. I think maybe there had been a change of management when we were there mid June of this year. We were upgraded to the lakeside villa without asking and all staff were friendly and attentive. A special mention... More

For a number of years I have been wanting to stay at the Lake Bennett Wilderness Resort and after a nice drive last weekend, we decided to drop by in person and make a booking for a family weekend away. I approached the reception desk and asked a male employee if we could have a look at a Lakeside Villa,... More
