The Huts at Lakes Edge
The reception is way before the unit. It was easy to miss that so we spent some time looking for it. And we aren't the only ones. The place itself is nice and clean. Only gripe is that the parking is below the hill and we had to lug the luggages uphill tho it's a short distance.
