Lakeview Colonial House

Staff was lovely! And helpful

The view outside and near the city

The smell of the food inside, it would be good if they can put an air wick or a diffuser at the lounge main door or at the kitchen.

The view! The bed was very comfortable and warm. Even though I shared the bathroom the access wasn’t bad. Only once I had to wait 15 mins for shower.

The sewer smell in the bathroom. Frankton Rd is a busy road to walk into town and the only possibility.

Although the kitchen, lounge, and bathroom were shared, the space felt clean and thoughtfully equipped throughout. Our room included a medium-sized refrigerator, which made it easy to keep our supplies separate from the main kitchen fridge. The view was absolutely stunning—enjoying meals in the dining area while taking it in was a real highlight.

While the place itself was great, our experience was unfortunately affected by how some other guests used the shared space. The receptionist and two other guests (of certain race which I will not disclose) made smelly curry in the kitchen all the time without considering others nor closing the kitchen door so the entire place reeked of curry. Kitchen was left untidy with curry powder all over drawers and counter. They always had Hindi music / show on their smartphone in communal places, and the lady left all her toiletries and even her underwear in the shared bathroom. The way they used the shared space was appalling and inconsiderate, which made the stay very uncomfortable. Also, there were three large spiders found in our room, bathroom, and kitchen. Photo included.
