   Such a lovely setting sadly the menu is limited and awful. Our food was second rate tasted like old oil on chips and the burger was cooked on a dirty skillet. I wanted a salad but they buy in pre packed cooked chicken. Great to visit once but will not be back. The lovely girl who served us was the highlight she was very welcoming and honest. We drove an hour to pay $60 for below average food.

   This is our second visit with our daughter and son- in - law, and once again cannot speak highly enough of your venue and staff. We all had very well presented and delicious meals. Our compliments to the chef. Your front of house staff are prompt, attentive and courteous. All this in your delightful restaurant with beautiful scenery on a glorious day made our luncheon quite special. Thank you.

   George, Aldi and their friendly and efficient staff at Secrets On The Lake provide a dining wonder (as always). The location, ambience and food (and accomodation) is first class in every sense. We have been going there for 15 years and always look forward to our next visit.

   We had booked a table for 11:00 AM on April 19th with outdoor seating, expecting a pleasant spot with a view. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Instead, we were seated next to a carriage, and the strong metallic smell coming from it was overwhelming. I’m particularly sensitive to smells, and it quickly began to give me a headache. We waited over 10 minutes before anyone brought us a menu. We tried to be patient, understanding it was Easter Saturday, but the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy—just a small group booking and a few other guests. During that time, I noticed the waitress attending to an unused table cleaning few tables instead of bringing us the menus. When she finally arrived, I asked if we could possibly move to another table, but she told us the restaurant was fully booked. By then, I had already decided I wouldn’t be able to eat due to the smell and the headache it caused, so I was only going to order a coffee. After receiving the menu, we waited another 10 minutes for the waitress to return and take our order, but no one came. At that point, feeling disappointed and unwell, we decided to walk out. What added to the frustration was watching another couple—who had originally been seated at a lovely lake-view table—move themselves to a different spot without consulting the staff. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially considering our expectations when we made the booking.

   We enjoyed a wonderful high tea with a good variety of food and delicious coffee. The view was amazing and the service attentive. We will definitely be back.

   Such a lovely place to have lunch. Not a huge menu but enough to suit various appetites. Good service and beautiful atmosphere.

    An extremely pleasant high tea experience was had all round. Would highly recommend Secrets On The Lake for that special treat.
