A little cherry on top of the recently announced 2014 Australian Gourmet Traveller Hotel Guide….. Lake House have also been voted by the readers of Australian Gourmet Traveller as their top choice for:

Australia’s Best Regional Hotel & Australia’s Best Hotel Restaurant

The inaugural Hotel Guide was launched in June, featuring Australia’s 50 finest hotels. Gourmet Traveller then invited readers to vote in 5 categories including Australia’s Best Regional Hotel and Australia’s Best Hotel Restaurant – nominating Lake House as their favourite in both categories.

The crew at Lake House are celebrating 30 years at the iconic property. In 1984 Alla & Allan Wolf Tasker, dreaming a seemingly impossible dream, opened the doors of Lake House in Daylesford (80 mins from Melbourne). Thirty years later, they, their daughter Larissa and a dedicated “tribe” of industry professionals continue to spread joy and pleasure with their unique and timeless sense of hospitality.

For many, Lake House evokes nostalgic memories of milestones in their own lives, of long lunches, weekend escapes and great parties…. For others, Lake House is a benchmark in a world where service and true hospitality have become ever diminishing commodities After 30 years; there is much to celebrate!

“It has taken more than 30 years of tireless enthusiasm and meticulous attention, but Alla and Allan Wolf-Tasker have created a remarkable property that sets the standard for regional hotels in Australia. Take a beautiful setting, add sumptuous accommodation, a restaurant so good it’s a destination dining spot, a decadent spa and the sort of calm, considerate service that makes every guest feel special, and you have Lake House.”
