Furneaux Lodge

We took this as a 2 day getaway, expecting it to be top notch... especially given the price of $480/night PLUS $120 each to get there by water taxi. We stayed in Endeavour unit 18. Unfortunately, for the price, it fell well below expectations. No kitchenette as advertised, no TV, the 'King size bed' turns out to be 2 single beds of different elevations pushed together, with a 'step' between them. There IS a spa pool, but contains more filth than water - it was truly disgusting. In The restaurant we ordered an expensive meal but quickly found the Cray fish was far from fresh and the lamb rack was more sheep ribs than Lamb(!) We ate it, just because of where we are and it wasn't inedible, but for a meal that cost over $300 with wine it was a long way from what we would expect elsewhere at even close to the same price point.... and before we had even finished our meal, at just 8pm having sat down at 7pm, we were told the place was closing and could we please finish in our room. Although we had already paid for the 2 nights, we left after just 1, with no refund for the unused night - truthfully I didn't push the issue, I just wanted to get home. Will never return.

Perfect. The facilities were great. Pool table, spa, badminton etc plus kayaks. Our room was excellent with plenty of room for us (2 adults 2 teens) to sit around. Wifi was good. Staff were great. The view from our room/ deck was so beautiful. The restaurant/bar was very good and lots of food options. It was priced high but it is remote and inaccessible so it was justified. Couldn’t fault it - an absolutely lovely place and would definitely go again!

my family and i went for a day trip to furneaux lodge. having gone last year, we knew that it would be a good experience as it was a great one last year. we booked ourselves a table and ordered food and drinks. the issue arose when we received our “iced chocolates” if they can be called that. they were hot chocolates that had been dumped in a tall glass and had ice put in them. the bottom half of the drink was still hot, and had absolutely zero flavour. i didn’t want to be that complaining karen so i asked politely at the bar starting with the words “i hate sounding fussy” as i hate complaining and being that person. i explained the issue, and the man that served me rudely told me that they are made that way and i explained they were still hot on the bottom. i gestured the glass for him to feel, and he snatched it out of my hand, threw a curt “ill make a new one” over his shoulder, and threw the contents of the glass so harshly into the sink, it went all up the backsplash. i expected better than this type of service. aside from that, awesome food and awesome time with my family :)
