The lodge’s recreational facilities are second to none. Both the young and old are spoilt for choice with a variety of activities throughout the residence. A nine hole lush golf course encases the lodge and is home to many cute two legged bouncing local spectators and other native wild life! Enjoy the peace and quiet and revel in having a golf course all to yourself. If golf is not your scene, the lodge offers a grass tennis court, basketball court and petanque/bocce area. Alternatively, catch a fish in one of the lakes or dams on the property which hold redfin, silver perch and yellow belly, and cook yourself up a delicious barbecued fish for dinner.

The Lodge and Tennis Courts/Basketball Courts

If outdoor weather is not in your favour don’t despair. The indoor activities at Lawson Lodge will keep you entertained too. During those colder winter months, warm up by the wood fire in the sports lounge of the Club House. The sports lounge has a full kitchen if you wish to self-cater any meals. Complete with a grand billiard table, television and wall to wall sporting memorabilia, the sports lounge is a fantastic place to get together and unwind. Additionally, sit back and relax in your own private 36 seat movie cinema, complete with large projector screen, Foxtel channels and an extensive DVD range of movies. Original vintage seats from Melbourne’s historic Camberwell Cinema and comfy recliner chairs give an authentic Gold Class feel to this theatre room. All you need is the popcorn! And there are always the good old-fashioned family fun board games provided at the Lodge as well.
