This property was very clean which was excellent and the staff were very good, however the decore was very dated and we had burn holes in the bed cover that was covered up by the towels on the bed initially.
However, the old saying “you get what you pay for” rings true as we got the unit at a good rate as it was a last minute decision to go to Lakes Entrance. We will try somewhere else next time we go to Lakes Entrance.
Lovely staff and easy check-in process. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and comfortable. Great water pressure and water temp in the shower. Great value for the price.

We liked the location. Very clean room. Ken was very welcoming
Nice quiet room. Very clean. Could have done with a warmer doona or more blankets. (Don’t like sleeping with heater on) Parking was interesting. All over great for a night or 2
Enormous King+ bed plus a single. Parking at the door. Nice little outdoor area with river/lake view + table and chairs. Only negative is the exhaust fan in the bathroom sounds scarily past its use by date.
Great property in a prime location; walk out the door and you are in a very pretty part of Lakes. Sleep quality was good. Staff were highly accommodating and friendly. The place was immaculate in the rooms and the exterior. Only downside was the furniture needs updating; this is minor. But excellent overall. I feel like this property has got a keen eye on making guests feel comfortable. Would stay again.

The staff was very friendly and helpful
Across from the water was beautiful
Good location. Well laid out room. Fabulous shower and really comfy bed. Very helpful staff with great recommendations for the area. Only wish we could have stayed longer
We were pleasantly surprised by the condition of the property, as we had expected a somewhat rundown motel—but it turned out to be much better than anticipated. The room felt quite new and well-maintained, and the bathroom was impressively spacious—larger than those in many motels or even some 4-star hotels.
The only downsides during our stay were the presence of some rowdy neighbours and a few unruly children running along the walkway, which disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.
Additionally, the person at reception (possibly the owner) could benefit from being a bit more warm and welcoming when interacting with guests on the phone, in particular. A friendlier approach and improved customer service could really enhance the overall experience.
