Delicious lunch with friends. 2 artsy comfy rooms inside, 2 outside deck areas or sit out the front under the trees, or enjoy the outside fire. Friendly service appreciated. Men folk ordered the burger, made from steak minced on site - you could tell it was awesome, all the best extras including pineapple, served with the best chips with rosemary/garlic salt. They could not stop raving, best burger ever. My friend had the Korean Beef Bowl, it was amazing and I had the Thai Seafood Soup, so delicious and just bordering on not too hot. Beautiful presentation and good care taken with the meals. The wines were delicious. We ate inside and then took another bottle of wine to the front garden. Lovely surroundings. While casual, was a quality experience. Coming back again and bringing our out of town friends. You can also arrive by boat but let them know ahead and they will pick you up from the jetty.

Friends of Nyerimilang shop at the park entrance. The semi-formal gardens and lawns surrounding the homestead contain an interesting collection of exotic and native species. Majestic Gippsland Blue Gums and Coast Grey Box on the cliff tops contrast with marshland in the valley of Maringa Creek. Nyerimilang attracts many species of birds including honeyeaters, black swans, pelicans and birds of prey. There are three bird hides in the park. Princes Highway via the Kalimna West Road. There are plenty of road signs along the way. Nyerimilang is just 10km by road north-west of Lakes Entrance.

Nyerimalang has a nice old homestead and a gorgeous walk along the bluff with views over the lakes, returning up a forested valley with sea eagles overhead. There are also some interesting old farm buildings and a native plant garden.

Australia's largest and most beautiful inland waterways, the Gippsland Lakes are a network of lakes, marshes and lagoons covering over 600 square kilometres. The Lakes are separated from the ocean by coastal dunes known as Ninety Mile Beach. Bird and marine life thrive here, with lake dolphins and pelicans frequenting many locations.

The Gippsland Lakes are a series of lakes ... the largest of these lakes are Lake King, Lake Wellington and Lake Victoria. They cover an area of about 350 square kilometres. These lakes are collectively fed by the Avon, Thomson, Latrobe, Mitchell, Nicholson and Tambo rivers. These form the largest network of inland waterways in Australia making them a great place to visit for a variety of reasons... whether you enjoy fishing, water sports, swimming, walking or simply relaxing... This area of Gippsland has everything covered. There are also approximately 400 indigenous flora species and 300 native fauna species. Three plants, two of them being orchid species, are listed as endangered. There are also Southern Right whales and Humpback whales using the Lake Entrance area ... and the area is home to at least 50 species of dolphins which includes the Burrunan dolphin. It's a really wonderful place to visit all year round.

Awesome park for kids of all ages. Exercise equipment for adults, half court basketball, several playing areas. On the lake. BBQ facilities available, lots of shade, toilets big enough for prams with baby change area. The coffee/donut van was there while we visited and another cafe nearby. Spent 2 hours here.

Great to have a pleasant walk alongside lake and crossing Cunningham bridge to land at Main beach. Can play at lake side water.
8. The Entrance Walk

Reviewed By Chris-Mares - Lakes Entrance, Australia
This is a short 5Km walk and takes the average person around 2 hours to do the circuit. Be aware of soft sand - it can be a bit taxing if you haven't walked for a while. Walk with the wind (if easterly then do the beach first, if blowing a westerly do the bush track first). If you love the birds, you might hear/see 20 different species along the walk. Be aware there could be the odd snake out (even in winter), but they tend to be more scared of you. I might be lucky enough to see one once a year. Blue tongue lizards are a lot more common. Don't forget to bring your binoculars too. There are normally up to 40 seals to be seen (very hard to spot when in amongst the rocks on the other side of the entrance).

A nice place to enjoy the lake and the marina. We were there towards the sunset. It was peaceful. There were lots of boats there. The river was calm and we stood there looking the view. Worthwhile to see!
