The owners are also the operators and it shows. Attention to detail is great. The room was spotless and had everything needed for a comfy stay. The recliner chairs were a nice touch to watch TV in comfort. Great bathroom with really good water pressure. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Coastal Waters Motor Inn, Lakes Entrance was fantastic. The room was very clean and comfortable beyond our expectations. The effort made by the owners to make each room a show piece is a credit to them. Everything we needed was there and more.Hope to return one day. Thanks again.

Spacious and very comfortable room with the option to watch TV on the recliners. Big bathroom and the shower was good. The king sized bed is a dream as there’s plenty of room. This is our third stay here and we’ll be back.

Great place to stay

We only spent one night here and basically was there only when it was time to sleep. The room was large and very comfortable. The location was across the lake. We had a fantastic stay. The host was helpful. I will definitely recommend Coastal Waters to everyone.

Victorian road trip

Comfortable room with seperate area with jason recliner to watch tv. Spacious and had provision for heating food with microwave plus some crockery and glasses toaster and kettle. We had king spa room and was at back of property so very quiet away from main street. Short walk to shopping precinct . Only stayed one night but was comfortable and welcoming after long drive. Would stay here again

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The Location of the property is nice, the property is well presented and neat. My wife and I spent a 1 night stop over at the the property, arrived late in the day, immediately walked the 15 minutes down the road to the local pub for dinner, departed early morning. We then discovered 2 days later they unexpectedly charged our account a fee for possibly having food from the mini bar!! We disputed the matter through email as we did not have anything from the mini bar. The response from management was they were unsure which room number we were staying in? Now no reply to our emails from them, we have called and left messages and no reply. The fee is not high for a piece of food, and i would be more than willing to pay for a consumed item, if in fact we had consumed an item, it's the principle of the matter, and the fact extra charges were taken from our account without question.

Owners Tracey and Michael are very hospitable and hard-working. This showed in the cleanliness and thoughtful fit-out of our unit. The building is ageing but well refurbished. Enjoyed breakfasts, brought to our room. Across the road from the pretty south arm waterfront, and 10 minutes walk to shops.
