Reviews of Lotus Lodges

• Debra from Australia (6/10)

  The location was reasonably close to Sassafras township by car. The lounge area was comfortable and heater very efficient. The carpark at the front was so tiny it was a challenge to keep our car off the road. The trees out front could be trimmed a bit to help with this but nevertheless we were grateful to have a car space close to the bungalow.

• Chad from Australia (6/10)

  The little cottage we stayed in was awesome. In a beautiful spot just outside Sassafras. Had a wonderful spa tub and good wifi. Also really enjoyed the back verandah and small garden. Loved that the place was set up and pre-warmed for our arrival. We felt very welcome.
