What our travelers think about their stay

As its name suggests, Lakes Entrance is situated in a lagoon, by a lake, at the entrance to the ocean. The town attracts a lot of tourists.

My suggestion

If you plan to camp or stay here during the summer months, make sure you reserve in advance, as pitches and hotels are limited.

Situated 300 kilometre east of Melbourne, Lakes Entrance is the largest network of navigable routes in Australia, offering truly unique views.

My suggestion

It's better to go in summer to make the most of the boat trips on the lakes or to hire a kayak or pedalo. I recommend a detour via the picturesque Lake Tyers, bordered by the ocean, a eucalyptus forest and a river.
