“A masterclass in how to do it right” - Good Food Guide, Australia.
Lake House, Australia’s much loved regional icon of great food, wine and bespoke hospitality, continues to be recognised as one of the most awarded restaurants and retreats in the country. Two Chefs Hats, Hall of Fame for Australia’s Best Wine List and recognition as Australia’s Best Food & Wine Experience in the Luxury Travel Gold List, are just some recent accolades.
Six acres of established gardens cascade to the lake shore, offering beguilingly beautiful, peaceful nooks and outdoor terraces for morning coffee, lunch or afternoon Negronis.

Words from the guest book – “bespoke, comfortable, cocooning, with great views & beautiful textures” describe the hotel’s individually curated hotel studios and suites which include The Retreat, the property’s “Rock Star Digs”.
The restaurant, “one of Victoria’s most comfortable and beautiful dining rooms…” delivers seasonal menus driven by some of Australia’s great produce, much of it local. Add the location, the world class cellar, the approachable, knowledgeable service and it’s clear why Lake House has become a destination for savvy travellers from across the globe.
In May 2018, Culinary Director Alla Wolf-Tasker AM releases her new book “Three Decades On”. Captivating stories of local producers, the region, the evolution of Lake House and wonderful recipes, are illustrated with beautiful photography.
A limited number of signed copies are available for immediate pre-order and delivery in May at lakehouse.com.au
