The Wheelhouse - 2br Waterfront Apartment in Town.
The Wheelhouse is a beautifully appointed 2 bedroom apartment with two living areas situated in the centre of town with only Marine Pde separating you from the sand & beautiful waters of the North Arm. Boat ramps, beaches, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes & the pub are all within a few hundred meters. North facing, The Wheelhouse bedrooms open onto a lovely deck with stunning water views. With 2 large family rooms, kitchen, bathroom/ laundry, you’ve found the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The Wheelhouse is right in the centre of town, offering close proximity to almost all attractions in the central area.
The Wheelhouse is tastefully decorated and offers two bedrooms, two separate living areas and two high definition smart TVs. We supply the linen and towels, a fully equipped kitchen and pantry essentials as well. We want our guests to feel like they have the comforts of home so you can just relax and enjoy yourself.
The Wheelhouse offers 2 car parking spaces right out the front of the apartment and room on the grass directly beside the apartment to park a boat.
There are picnic tables, a lakeside beach and a lovely grassy park directly across the road, perfect for a waterfront picnic or paddle.
When home, the owners live on the second storey, however concrete flooring, double bricks and a considerate, friendly demeanour minimises any noise.
The Wheelhouse is fully self contained and our aim is for you to feel that you have all you need.
We are flexible and available for guests as required. Our preference is to always welcome our guests in person on arrival. If we’re not available to meet you in person, a self checkin welcome pack will be provided for your comfort. In any case, we’re always contactable via phone, text & email at any time.
The neighbourhood of Marine Parade, Lakes Entrance is waterside, tranquil, and close to many attractions and amenities. You can paddle board, kayak or launch your boat from across the road or at one of the other boat ramps along Marine Parade. You can set up a picnic on the grass or on the lakeside beach literally a stone’s throw from your front door and settle in to experience all that Lakes Entrance has to offer.
There’s a walking / running / cycling path across the road that meanders its way right around the town, up Jemmy’s Point and back along the lake if you’re keen. There are hire boats located all along Marine Parade and there’s waterskiing, fishing, relaxing and lovely views right at your doorstep.
Bullock Island is at the western end of the street and you can set yourself up there for an early morning coffee and watch the dolphins play in the channel or witness the most spectacular sunsets and see the sun melt into the lake as the waters of Bass Strait and the Gippsland Lakes system meander their way through the entrance.
The Wheelhouse is situated in an idyllic location where you’ll be able to leave your car and walk to just about every attraction in town.
Getting around is easy - The Wheelhouse is central, so many places and shops are an easy walk. Car, bike, taxi, bus or boat too - there’s a bus stop out the front, boat ramps cross the road and along Marine Parade, taxi rank nearby and car parking spaces on-site. There’s room on the grass beside the apartment to park a boat, too.
As with many properties on Marine Parade, the front of The Wheelhouse is unfenced so supervision of children is important.

What a wonderful home away from home. Decor was beautiful with not a tacky ornament in sight. Location was perfect. Easy walk to everything. Grant and Heidi were ideal hosts; very communicative and providing everything we could need.
The place was beautiful all the extra little touches were so nice and made us feel special.. I would highly recommend staying at Grants place he communicated well and quick.. thank you for a wonderful weekend away..
We had an amazing stay at The Wheelhouse. Grant is an awesome host and made us feel very welcome. Location is so beautiful with the lakes right on the front door step. Thank you Grant. We will be back.
We had a fabulous Australia Day "long weekend" in Lakes Entrance staying at The Wheelhouse. The property is in a great spot - across from the inland river where we could drop our kayaks in super conveniently. Everything was easy walking distance away as well. A couple of things set the property apart and they were driven by the professionalism of the hosts (Grant and Heidi). From the moment we made our booking we were clearly communicated to and set up for a great stay. Nothing was too much trouble including the care packages in the fridge and pantry, advice about the area and general support. Highly recommended if you are looking for something in a great location and well supported.

Great option for a weekend away! Excellent communication by owners. Beautiful setup & decor, very clean and comfortable. We were so appreciative of the arrival goodies in the fridge. Kids loved this place & it felt like a home away from home. Great location and great view of the lake. Thankyou!
Grant's place is a lovely clean ground floor unit. We had a great stay there with our two kids, aged 2 and 4. There is huge fun playground at the end of the street, and lots of picnic areas with a view on the inlet. It's also a 2-3 minute walk to the centre of town so its super easy to eat out. The unit was really well appointed with everything we needed and there was even a bottle of wine and some snacks waiting for us on arrival.
It was a lovely place to stay on the water. The host was lovely! The house had everything you could want and close to cafes and the water. Very relaxing.
Everything we needed for our stay. Clean, well located and host very thoughtful with making necessities available when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay. Relaxed and private. Highly recommended.
Excellent accommodation in well thought out refurbished ambulance station. Spacious with great views of North Arm. Well suited for bike riding and exploring the area. Within walking distance of shops and ocean beach. Host friendly, generous and thoughtful.
Had a wonderful long weekend at Lakes Entrance. The accommodation was truly lovely, had everything that we needed, and was very clean. A nice welcome pack of essentials included. Grant was a wonderful host and we would highly recommend staying here.
We were met by Grant who was a warm and welcoming host. Well-appointed and comfortable apartment underneath hosts own house. Nice little touches including wine, chocolates and condiments. Located on Marine Pde with some road noise however still had a restful and pleasant stay. Nice view across park and north arm opposite.
This lovely home with access to water is just a doorstep away. Modern and clean property with two good size living areas. It was hard leaving this place. We wished we stayed longer.
Great property , Grant was very helpful, kept in contact with us. Unit was well presented and had everything we required for our 3 night stay. Including a wonderful welcome pack. Very comfortable for 4 adults
