Beautiful little lake for a nice dip after a great hike up the rocks with our amazing guide Sam. The campsites look great but we had a package to sleep inside in the dorm rooms. The shower mats were filthy and the washrooms as well.. Don't forget your shower sandal and your hovering techniques when using the facilities. They have a few water toys that you can use to go out for a paddle and a floating dock that you can swim out to. Absolutely lovely! There is zip lining across the lake, nice experience. Short but sweet. There is a common kitchen, it's fairly clean and you have access to two BBQ's, stove, oven, cutlery, pots and pans.. you name it, it's probably there :-) There is a sauna near the lake, did not get the chance to use it and, a hot tub just off the deck. I very much enjoyed my visit but next time will try camping. Some of the staff were not too friendly and they gave me the impression that we were in their way. Can't win 'em all.

Thrilling experience! Had lots of fun and it was my first time ever at climbing. Guides were not very helpful. This isn't a beginners activity and very hard without a guide at some points. Im in good physical shape, but I didn't know anything about climbing and guides did not explain well enough so my fingers were in lots of pain after. I got more help, explenations and instructions from other climbers. Careful with the knees when you go down, don't rush! Bring gloves that protect well the fingers, I found it's a must. Mosquito repellent and a tiny bag of snacks and water (I had a huge backpack and it was not fun).

Very beautiful, plenty of activities for a younger crowd (20's and 30's). Wild camping (tents and sleeping bags), communal kitchen if required, mountain climbing, and a small lake. The views are breathtaking.
