We love to visit Secrets on the lake. The location is totally unique and idyllic. The food is always first class. I ordered the coconut chicken curry which was absolutely delicious and my wife ordered the barramundi which she thoroughly enjoyed. And to complete the experience the staff are wonderful.

Great venue, great views, great food. Four empty plates went back to the kitchen. Limited parking might cause hassles on busy days such as weekends & holidays to put a small dampener on arrival. Will definitely go back

Nos désirs tels que la nappe blanche et l’emplacement de la table avec un très belle vue sur le lac ont été intégralement respectés. Ces petites attentions font très plaisir. C’était par ailleurs un délicieux « High Tea » que je recommande dans ce beau site calme et chaleureux. C. M.

Secrets on the Lake is a very special place. Situated overlooking Baroon Pocket Dam elevated in the trees in a unique open air setting. The menu is very delicious, I love the soufflé with a delicious salad. The staff are very kind and it is always a treat to bump into the couple who created this oasis and watch over it still. Good to reserve a table especially if a weekend.

My wife and I had breakfast, excellent quality and large servings. Coffee was amazing. We walked to the waterfalls on the boardwalk surrounded by amazing wood carvings and rain forest, beautiful. We will be booking a weekend stay soon.
