Maeburn Cottages - Self-contained Lakeside Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"Dorothy was very polite and welcoming host and met us during check in. BothCheck in and check out process was very easy. The cottage was as advertised, clean and very pet-friendly. Cottage had all the amenities and had a comfortable stay. Joe’s Cafe & Fish and chips shop were really good . We also enjoyed picking up boysenberries and eating them straight from the tree in the car parking spot. Will visit again. Thanks."

Bairnsdale Tanjil Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really good if you got bikes. We were able to keep the bikes inside overnight. There is a hose near the pool to wash bikes as well. We had a separate smaller bedroom and a main bedroom within our cabin and plenty of tea and coffee. However the neighbours were noisy and did not a get a good night sleep."

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."
