Lakeside Motel Waterfront

"We had a great stay."

Coastal Waters Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxing stay at Coastal Waters. The bed is comfortable, the room is quiet, clean with excellent amenities. The Motel is walking distance to town and across the road from the beach. The place to stay in Lakes Entrance."

Ocean Views Motel Lakes Entrance

8/10 Good

"Dated but clean motel with good ocean view. Helpful staff. Very reasonable pricing. Only downside was noisy youngsters in the next room who were up till 3am! And blockout curtains would be good too. For this price and facilities with two separate bedrooms for four adults, will stay again."

Bellevue on the Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property to stay at with the family. Apartment was far more than we were expecting and the kids live the pool & spa..."

Metung Holiday Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay, the cabin was clean and cosy"

BIG4 Whiters Holiday Village

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great 2-night stay over the long weekend. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. The property was clean and well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Unfortunately, it rained for almost the entire day on one of the days we were there, so we weren’t able to make use of many of the facilities. However, the staff kindly provided us with complimentary passes to a nearby heated pool, which was a really nice gesture and helped make up for the weather. We found the cottages to be a little on the smaller side, but they were still a decent size and comfortable enough for our family of four (2 adults and 2 kids). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property to families looking for a clean, comfortable and family-friendly place to stay."
