Description
This converted residence features large, spotless, air-con rooms -- a stark contrast to the long line of grungy fan-room joints on either side. The staff are friendly enough, though the Cafe downstairs serves unremarkable meals -- their breakfasts in particular could benefit from an oil change. It's a popular place that always seems to be full when we visit -- the staff told us that the upstairs rooms can sleep up to six people. If that's the case, it's a good deal for large groups and families, but if you're looking for a single or a double and this is in your budget, Simon's only makes sense if you really, really want to stay in the Lake area -- otherwise, for the price, there are better-appointed guesthouses in much more inviting areas.

Not so Pretty in Pink - 
By flightgirl ( total comments: 6

This ''pink'' Lodge has the potential to be a great, beautiful guesthouse, but its not. The rooms are big, but the bathrooms need work, the air-con doesnt work, and the staff even came in our room when we were out and turned down our air, and our fans . The building is not taken care of,and the staff seems like it picks and chooses its guests, they turned away a nice single gent while I was checking in even though they had rooms! The electical is unsafe, our lights were flickering the whole time. It was like staying a overprotective Relatives house that you couldnt wait to leave...Yikes. Its too bad because it is a beautiful old house, but its a shame it isnt better taken care of and run better. There are better choices, stay somewhere else.
