BUG Review
Sunset Lodge is a small hostel close to the lakefront 3½km from the town centre. There’s a quieter vibe here than the places in town. The common room has a log fire and a veranda with views of the lake, which is nice. The house and some of the facilities are on the old side, however. There’s a small kitchen (with a couple of dorm rooms practically inside it) and a chill outdoor sitting area with a barbecue. Internet access is available on a single PC. The Sunset Lodge picks up and drops off at the bus station.

The Sunset Lodge is a little far away from the city, but it is only a short walk to the lake. Rooms, bathrooms and showers are clean, but some beds could need an improvement. The kitchen is OK and the hosts are very friendly people
