We stayed in a ground floor lakeside apartment for a week in early June. The apartment itself was clean and had everything you needed from plates and cutlery to microwave and washer dryer. The weather was wet and cold when we were there so had to use the heating which worked well and their was plenty of hot water.
The unit itself looked tired in places, vinyl plank flooring in kitchen looked like it had suffered water damage at some point, paint peeling on reveals around rear patio door and the shower tray leaked continuously which in turn was damaging the door frame and architrave. Woodwork on deck definitely needs attention, slippery when wet and looking worn. That said , the unit was very comfortable and so quiet at night. We loved feeding the ducks in the morning as they swam right up to balcony. If you rent a top floor apartment on the lake the balconies are small and set back from the waters edge.
We didn't eat here so unable to comment on food but we did use the gym which was small but functional.
The site itself is fairly remote which adds to the peace and tranquility, staff are very polite and helpful and there is a well stocked shop on site which isn't overpriced.
Overall, i would recommend Retallack its still good value for money despite the negatives.
