Evedon Lakeside Retreat

First time staying here but we chose wisely, this place was great, and timed it perfectly, with flowers blooming, warm sunshine during the day and fires still permitted this time of year. I thought it might be busier on school holidays, but not all the appartments were occupied. So there was minimal noise and great access to the lake and kayaks. Beautiful view down to Bunbury. Nice grass area near landscaped gardens and fire pit areas (with plenty of good wood available) in front of the 2-storey apartments. We cooked dinner on the fire and roasted marshmallows. Further potential for landscaping and developments I reckon on the banks of the lake. Fireplace inside was very warming. Close quarters in there but cosy. Love the natural bush and critters and walk trails. We took supplies and walked in to a bbq spot. Restaurant breakfast was delicious. We would have had dinner there too but only limited opening hours. Staff were very welcoming and nice. Overall, it was a great find, better than we expected, and exactly what we needed - good relaxing trip. Highly recommend Evedon. Many thanks.

We had a birthday celebration lunch here which was buffet style @ $50 per person. Sadly the food was very poor. There was only a choice of chicken in some unknown sauce or a very small portion of salmon - which was tasteless. The vegetables were all over cooked and desert was only fresh fruit or cheese. By the time I'd finished my main course (oh there was a soup to start, but I didn't fancy it) all the cheese had gone and most of the fruit. I didn't see a vegetarian option either, just as well I didn't need it but who knows if any of our party was vegetarian? For $50 it was over priced.

Evedon is a beautiful property set in a perfect hillside location with commanding views. The building is full of charm with exposed timber beams, balcony overlooking the dam and lovely alfresco dining. The menu is diverse to cater to all needs. The food is excellent, I would recommend it. Unfortunately the bar staff were less than desirable in taking orders for food when one asked me how to spell “rare” in a medium rare order of the steak. Service was good in the food regards but the bar staff need to do their RSA again or to learn how to make a drink.

This accomodation is rustic and set in the Australian bush next to a man made lake . We booked the 2 story apartment 1 next to reception and in front of the beautiful lake with the most gorgeous sunset. The kitchen is fairly well equipped with a stove , oven , toaster and a medium size fridge . What would have made it better are a pair of scissors , a sponge for washing and salt and pepper. The living room was a little cold till we got the wood fire going . Supply of wood was adequate. The bathroom is newly renovated and very clean . Temperature control is ok . The bedroom are up a spiral stairs- maybe difficult for old folks . The queen bedroom is adequate for two and outside the bedroom sits another queen bed bf you climb down the spiral stairs . There is a gorgeous sunset on the lake and you can also go canoeing . There is a restaurant on site that serves breakfast , tea , lunch and dinner . Overall a wonderful stay and will return again . Perhaps the owners may consider a full refund say in the event of a cancellation 1 week or 72 hrs prior but not in the form of vouchers which are difficult to use for overseas customers .

My Girlfriend and i spent a few day here in one of the cabins overlooking the lake and enjoyed every second of it. Cabins were big ,clean and had everything one would need for a few days rest and relaxation. Thank god there were no families with kids near us so the place was quiet and comfortable as we sipped the local wine in front of the log fire and looked out over the lake. Service was tops and food was also great and we will return next year.

Our wedding at Evedon was just perfect, from the lovely gardens and comfortable accommodation to the delicious buffet lunch, the Evedon team excelled in every way, any request we had large or small was no problem. We love this venue and will be returning for our anniversary. 👰🤵💐🥂❤️
