The location was perfect as we were wanting to be close to the You Yangs National Park. It was also quiet, and 3mins from Lara for supermarket/food etc. The bathroom was lovely, great big bath and large separate shower. We enjoyed a movie on Netflix, and the aircon worked well (it was a really hot day). It was a relaxing quiet place to stay.
The sheets were clean but they were so crinkly I was worried that they weren't clean. The bed and couch were a bit tired and again didn't feel as clean as they should be. Everything else was very clean though.

Always enjoy staying here when the You Yangs Trail Festival is on, Dean is exceptionally good for these properties as well and he still remembers me after all these years that I've been going there, even if it's only once or twice a year.
The bed wasn't the greatest in the Study we found on the first night but that could come down to the nerves of what was happening over the weekend. We ended up using the pull out sofa bed and apart from my heavy weight nearly tipping it over from a balancing perspective it was exceptionally comfortable to sleep in.

A beautifully quiet location that was minutes for the Lara center and 30mins from Geelong waterfront. Our daughter loved watching the horses roam around and when we woke in the morning there was a horse at our door! I lovely place to stay that we have shared with our family to use when the come to visit in Lara.
The queen bed in house 4 needs some attention. It is sagging in the middle and is VERY squeaky!

Everything inside the lodge, very spacious and clean. Great location, which is pretty quiet and isolated. Close to some great locations.
Outside of overall premises could be presented better (improved over time) seeing the shipping container and workshop area? ( not sure what it was) makes it look unappealing when entering. (this changed though when entering the lodge).

The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful! Our flight to Sydney from Tullamarine got cancelled and we had a early international flight the next morning, so we had no choice but to book last minute tickets from Avalon airport. However, the flight was at 5am and no taxis were available - the owner kindly drove us to the airport making 2 trips for our family of 5 to the airport. The cabin we stayed in was clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend Lara Lodge to anyone wanting to stay around the area!
Nothing, it was a pleasant stay and we will never forget how nice the owner was :)

Beautiful outdoor decking area. Late checkout very appreciated.
Some decent chairs on the deck so you can sit out and enjoy it would be very welcome. And a bottle opener 😆

Location was perfect for our purposes, which was a running event in the nearby national park. We have stayed here previously and it is beautifully quite and relaxing.
No issues with this accommodation. Perfectly suitable for our purposes.

Overall had a great stay. Had everything we needed and booked at short notice which was handy.
Needed a shower curtain. Bathroom flooded, Water didnt fall away fast enough and ended up everywhere. Became extremely dangerous. Had a rail for a curtain but no curtain. Price was a little high, but wasn't the worst I've seen

The location suited us well, it was lovely and a quiet place to stay, would stay again. Plenty of spacious parking.
We found for ourselves that our cottage we stayed in needs a bit of a birthday. There was only 1 chair at the dining room table? Some attention needed to the curtains & rods in the lounge room, not user friendly?
