Had a night stay at their two bedroom chalet. It’s an extremely pleasant stay. Rooms were clean and well furnished with branded white goods like dish washer (which they request you load your dirty wares before check out), oven, stove and microwave.
We stayed at chalet 11, it’s very private with sheltered parking right infront.
The only slight inconvenience is the shower, as my nanna is 80 over years old, hopping over the bathtub was slightly daunting.
We loved everything about our stay! And would highly recommend it.

Cannot fault anything here. It’s an amazing spot and we were lucky enough to have chalet three which looks over the water. The spot is beautiful and the service was impeccable. Incredibly happy with our stay.
It’s located close to all the regular fun spots (especially kid friendly ones) down south.
Great and easy walking trail to take the kids on for kangaroo spotting and photos.

I didn’t stay there I just went there for a wedding but the service was awesome, the waiters were really nice and the receptionists were really kind too! They helped me figure out where the wedding was. There are a bunch of couches on the lawn facing a beautiful view of the lake and the forest edge. There’s also a pavilion but I don’t recommend going there at night bc there are ALOT of flies. But it’s really aesthetic and pretty to look at :)

I’m a wedding photographer and I always love shooting weddings at Eight Willows. The day flows well with the couple and guests staying on site.
The Bush Chapel is awesome for ceremonies, and there’s an great vibe by the water during the afternoon and evening at the function area.
There’s ace photo locations within walking distance of the reception area.
Also, big shout out to their wedding/functions manager Carly - she is an absolute weapon. Everything runs so smoothly, she has awesome energy and always does the little extra things behind the scenes to make sure her weddings are as good as they can be 👍
