Lovely clean rooms, the ones facing the lake has exceptionally beautiful views. Bathrooms are huge with double showers, but the tiles can get slippery when wet. Breakfast is sufficient and healthy.

Checkin is 3pm. We got there at 2.30pm and tried to checkin. There is no reception area. We found a staff member at the event center and she told us to go to "The Pantry". It's a small store on the premises. This was closed and there was no one about. When we phoned we were told that a text message would be sent to us with the access code at 3pm. This was annoying as the cabins were certainly ready. Aside from this the place was lovely!

The lane retreat is the perfect relaxing break in the Hunter. The retreats are very new, clean and comfortable. Spaced out with a view of the lake it’s wonderful to relax. We even saw some Kangaroos

We had an amazing experience at The Lane Retreat. The check-in process was so seamless and we had everything we needed. The room is clean, spacious and well furnished. The breakfast provisions were generous and of good quality. We absolutely enjoyed our time here and had the perfect getaway. We will be back for sure!

We stayed at the Lane Retreat for a wedding. Probably not enough shade for a 3pm wedding, but the day and facilities were just great.

The room was very comfortable, had a lovely view from the verandah and felt spacious for two people. The continental breakfast items left in the room had a nice selection of good quality muesli, yoghurt and bread - plenty for our stay. Staff were friendly and check in was fairly simple. Only areas for improvement would be the pool area which didn't have much shade to relax in and the toilet in the room was poorly designed - lid didn't stay up properly and water splashed even with the lid closed.
