Comfortable stay & friendly staff

Our group of 3 had a very comfortable stay in a 1 bedroom unit. It was reasonably spacious with a kitchenette. There is a guest laundry available and is a short walk to some shops and restaurants and nearby a pub, supermarket and wineries. Staff were helpful and friendly.

The Carrick Lodge is very close to the start of the Dunstan Lake cycle trail, a brief walk from two bicycle outfitters and across the street from several restaurants. Our room was clean, well stocked with the necessities and the small kitchen met the needs of two travelers perfectly. We'll be back to stay again.
