We had a wonderful time with our family and friends, loved the pool table was wonderful to go out for tea and come home play pool and listen to music to unwind after a day on the water. Very relaxing and lots to do, loads of character this place has.

Group stay at Rudawe

Our group had an amazing time with the jacuzzi, pool table and foosball table. The house was spacious and the area was beautiful. It is a great location for a gathering and we had an amazing time. The owners were very helpful and friendly also.

Very pleasant stay

John was a great host. The boat ride on the lake on the party boat was lots of fun. The house met all of the requirements for our group. The downstairs entertainment area with pool table, foosball table and fire was a great space. The spa was very enjoyable.

The place was great for a group but was quite run down with a few things broken or not working. Needs a bit of TLC but was a great space for groups

Great Family Location

We celebrated my husband 50th Birthday at Rudawe with our cherished family and friends. We loved the location and the space provided. John was a lovely host and every little details was thought of and provided for a group gathering. Plenty of games and cricket bats . the trip out on to the lake was a highlight and our family enjoyed this.

Good location for a large group getaway

We were a family group looking to getaway with a ski boat, and smaller tinny - the location is great for a getaway but with the ski boat we had to drive around to the main boat ramp at Eildon wall to launch and retrieve not a huge issue but access to the property is pretty tight and most properties have steep access in Taylor’s Bay Area that is the attraction - a positive but a bit limiting for ski boat trailer access - there was a dirt ramp nearby but that was pretty rugged - got the tinny in ok. The house itself, as reported by other reviewers does need a little TLC - some have said it adds to the rustic experience, but it is pretty tired. The host was very good - we did have a misunderstanding- around a 5 knot limit - totally our fault as the small print on the map provided had it noted an error on our behalf - and quickly corrected - we did leave an item at the property John retrieved it and used the postage paid envelope I provided to send it back - thank you. To be honest I think it is a good place for a quick getaway but for easy access to the lake perhaps not the best but John does offer a lake experience which apprently is pretty good

Expectations not met

Unfortunately our stay was not as seamless and as good experience as what we expected given the photo's description and price we paid to stay at Rudawe Lodge. Photo's of the property under the Vrbo listing are very old, out of date and not representative of the houses current condition. Whilst John the Owner was good on the comm's over the phone when we needed to call him, there was no handover/explanation of how things work, where bins located some of the basic's of house to operate the house The house was not in a clean state when we took possession and we took it upon ourselves to clean out shelves and cupboards of dust and dead insects before unpacking our food and supplies for the weekend. We had to top up on some basic supplies of dish-washing detergent, toilet paper and other basics which were not supplied. It was a real shame given we booked this 12 months in advance and my 1 piece of advice to John is that he needs to give the house a big clean, update the photo's online and make some adjustments to his rental expectations. We are well seasoned short term holiday renters and unfortunately this is the only house that i have ever written a negative review on.

Incredible stay with beautiful lake views and amazing boat ride into the lake, highly recommend!

I couldn’t recommend this accomodation highly enough. John was a great host that was super helpful and always answered our calls if we had any questions. He also took all 18 of us out onto his house boat for a ride into the middle of the lake. We were then able to jump off and boat and swim in the lake. the scenery was amazing and it was so kind of John to do that for us for free. There was a big long table that fitted our whole group for communal meals. Multiple indoor communal spaces with a pool table, foosball table, a bar, big kitchen, tv with Netflix. Wifi was also available and the hot tub was amazing. There were heaps of beautiful birds that would come say hello on the balcony as well. This was the perfect stay and we had such an amazing time there.

John's a true legend

The photos on the listing aren't accurate with the house being more run down than the photos. The listing also showed the house to be more spacious than it is. With that being said however there was plenty of room for our 11 person group. John the home owner is a true legend. He was super accommodating and took us on many great local experiences including wine and cheese up on a look out on his property and a great day on his boat.
