Wivenhoe gets tourist cabin facility
Somerset Council has approved a short-term accommodation facility on Logan Inlet Road at Wivenhoe Hill.
The development will include eight tourist cabins, a manager’s residence, a communal facility and car parking.
The cabins will be in the north-west part of the property to create privacy while taking advantage of lakeside views.
The communal facility will include a pool, recreation area and a concrete slab designed for temporary marquees, making it suitable for functions and receptions.
This facility will be available for hire, seven days a week.
Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt said this development capitalised on the natural beauty of Lake Wivenhoe.
“This is a great development application and supports the findings in Council’s accommodation review,” Cr Wendt said.
“More accommodation in Somerset is always welcome and the function facility will be a great location for celebrations and events.”
Somerset Councillor Brett Freese said the region was crying out for more developments like this.
“It’s a spectacular location with a fantastic view.”
