Our Testimonials

The Lake House hosted our annual Christmas party, and it was an incredible experience! Communication was seamless, and the service—both before and on the day—was impeccable. The venue was clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable for our team. The food was amazing; we collaborated to create a menu that suited us perfectly, and the staff were exceptionally accommodating. After organizing work Christmas parties for over 15 years, I can confidently say this was the most successful and least stressful one yet. The team has been full of glowing reviews, and we’ll definitely be booking again for next year.
Well done, The Lake House! - Carla van Walen, Dec 2024 (via Google Reviews)

Apart from the Lake House being beautiful, I have to say it is also the venue I contacted that was most responsive and helpful.

Thank you!

Zirk van den Berg, September 2020 (via email)
The venue was fantastic – exactly what we needed and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others I know who need venues. Your smooth, seamless and easy communication made so much difference!! It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with you and I will certainly be in touch again for potentially a regular event to be held at the Lake House – you made it all so easy for me!!!
