Perfect place to get down for a short trip...has all the necessities such as bathrooms and a kitchen, both of which are looked after very well. The non-powered sites we stay on give off some pretty good views of the lake which is a bonus and are perfect sizes. Overall amazing!

As a family of five we had been looking for a holiday spot to take the boat for quite a while and we have now found that spot! Always look forward to every trip and can't wait until the next one. Resort management Toni and Tristan go above and beyond with everything you need which makes our stay even better. Thanks Lakeside Resort for all of our family holiday memories.

Went there during off season, stayed in their family cabins. Great Price, Amazing Location, Super friendly staff. If you're going to Mt Buller on a budget and don't want to stay in the small hotel rooms, I highly reccommend.
