Bronte Park Holiday Village

Cradle Country & The West


Surrounded by highland lakes, and thus popular with anglers, this complex just off the Lyell Hwy, 30km east of Derwent Bridge, has various basic accommodation options, including old hydro-workers cottages and motel-style rooms. Sadly, all could be cleaner and are in need of refurbishment. There's an on-site bar with pool table, a restaurant and a nearby general store.
