Staff fantastic, cocktails at the bar wonderful. Room great but the double bed was the most uncomfortable ever. I dont have back problems and now have the most painful back. Please get rid of slat bed and replace with a spring base! Would love to stay again but will not only due to the bed.

The room was well kept, very clean and the spa was perfect. Not too hot and very spacious. The air conditioning worked well and there were blonds on the window that kept the sun from heating the room up too much.

Three bedrooms, dining table, tv area, master bedroom with ensuite. Balcony overlooking the water. Big unit with heaps of room for family to spread out. Good unit for families with teenagers so they can have their own room. $30 drinks voucher for each night of stay. Indoor heated pool, indoor spa, outdoor pool. Staff all friendly and helpful. Great place to stay. And did I mention the heaps of room…. So much better than everyone being cramped in a tiny motel room. Will definitely stay here on my next visit to Lakes Entrance.

Hotel was a little bit tired, especially the swimming pool. Our apartment was comfortable and a good base for a couple of nights. The staff in the Information Centre in Lakes Entrance were superb and booked us onto an Eco Cruise, which ran for 3 hours + and came complete with a scone and strawberry cream freshly baked on the ship. There is an excellent restaurant along the esplanade called Sodafish and we had lunch one day and dinner the next. My husband also managed to get a hair cut in a local salon.
