The lodge was exactly as the pictures looked - very picturesque, peaceful and perfect for a relaxing weekend. The guide in the room was full of information with things to do/ places to eat locally. Brendan was extremely helpful, accommodating and friendly throughout. Have already recommended to friends and family. We will definitely be coming back!
Brian
The peace, serenity and beauty of nature helps the rigours of life and what this world throws at you, pale into insignificance. Brendan was so helpful and answered every one of our requests, promptly and with good nature. What more can I say. Go back? Oh yes.

Personally I thoroughly enjoyed the fishing, no monsters but plenty of bites
