Stayed here for five nights during June 2022. Great place to stay, friendly welcome despite our early arrival after a long drive. Close proximity to shops, restaurants etc. Beautifully appointed rooms with everything you could wish for. Soft comfy beds with luxury linen. Above all, very competitive rates for our stay. Highly recommended ???

Loved this place, very friendly and helpful, I was recommended a walk on arrival and organised washing, they waited until I got back from my walk to add more and did that night. Very clean and comfortable room with all the trims. Highly recommend!

Terrible Stay

Reviewed By 933ayeshad

We stayed over the Easter weekend and had the most horrible experinece. From the time we arrived, the room smelt of rotten seafood. After paying over $300 for the night we were extremely disappointed as management were unable to move our rooms as it was the Easter weekend and they were fully booked. Had to put up with the stench for our whole stench. Not happy with the way management handled the issue.

We stayed early March 2022 in a one bedroom Motel style room with large ensuite. It was modern , clean and comfortable and very affordable . Mandy and her team were extremely friendly and helpful. We used Public Transport from Melbourne and found Heyfield very easy to access. Flat even walking distance to many eating options , both the Esplanade and Marine Parade. We took a Lakes Cruise which was extremely informative and enjoyable We are a pensioner couple in our mid seventies.

We stayed at Cunningham Shore Motel in early May 2022. Michelle made us very welcome on arrival and her Lakes Entrance local advice was spot-on. A comfortable and well-sized room made for a very relaxing and comfortable overnight stay. Location was ideal for us; could have stayed longer. And discovering that Kristian had cleaned our dirty car windscreen ready for our departure in the morning, was an unexpected and thoughtful bonus. Have never had that happen before – anywhere!! BTW - the Central Hotel Bistro is a winner – try their generous seafood chowder. Thanks so much.

Budget motel at best

Reviewed By phital

Motel is in a good position opposite the water and boats, and is in walking distance of shops, cafes etc. The motel room was very old and small. It was quite depressing. There was barely room to place two suitcases on the floor. On a cold night the only heating was a very small wall panel heater stuck in a corner that was next to useless. The TV was so small we could not watch the football on it. The lighting was so dull we could not read a book. Very disappointing

Great value for money here. Older style place but extremely clean and well maintained. We stayed one night and would recommend it. The dog of the owners is very friendly and the owner was very helpful for dinner recommendations. The RSL up the road does massive portions just stay away from the steak.

Perfect location to base the family for the full lakes experience

Reviewed By mtL6311MS

According to my daughter this was the best holiday ever! With regards to the hotel itself I could not have booked a better location. It was well within our budget, we had a double bed and single bed in our suite, so we fit perfectly as a family. Outside the room was a pool that was given a workout by my 8 year old (despite the weather!). The hotel itself was great, a lively bar and locals, Friday night raffles (yes we did win a few rounds!) and great food in the bistro. The food was a blend of traditional Australian pub food with a specials board that featured a broad selection of the local seafood. In the end we ended up having a number of meals here as it was close and just made sense as we had a variety of things to eat and choose from. Both the bar staff and waiters were very friendly and down to earth, often striking up conversation to ask about our days, what we had done, what we had seen and offering suggestions for what else was popular locally. As it was based centrally we were well placed for short trips to Lake Tyers, Buchan Caves, Metung and off course all the activities such as boat cruises in Lakes Entrance itself. All in all I would definitely come back and stay again at the Centra Hotel and I cannot recommend it highly enough! It ticked all our boxes.

Genuine "old school"ctomer service - EXCELLENT

Reviewed By kevinkL7630KD

My wife Jan and I have just completed a Sydney/McLaren Vale/Great Ocean Road/Sydney trip and we stayed at many motels over 3 weeks. The Albatross Motor Inn at Lakes Entrance offered the best, most friendly and helpful customer service of any motel at which we stayed. Nothing was too much trouble to Matthew and his team. It was so refreshing to experience "old school", authentic customer service. We'll be back. Kevin
