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.

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.
