Our story

A lakeside welcome that feels like coming home.

Golden Rays Hotel sits on the Osiri Golden Rays Beach, where the water meets our gardens and the day begins with a sunrise you will want to wake up for. Our lake-facing cottages are generously sized, quietly styled and built to catch the breeze off the lake.

Three restaurants, two bars and a full suite of conferencing facilities make the resort as suited to a family holiday as it is to a company retreat. Whatever brings you here, our team serves the finest finger-licking food with courtesy and warmth — and plenty of it.

Guest reviews

What our guests say after the sun goes down.

We took the cottage closest to the water and watched the sunrise from the veranda with coffee. The tilapia at dinner was the best we have had anywhere in the world.

We hosted a two-day strategy retreat for forty people. The conference hall was ready on time, the sound worked, and the team kept us fed without a single hiccup.

Only seven kilometres from town but it feels a world away. The gardens run right down to the beach and the staff greeted us by name by the second morning.
