The Lakes Beach House is a modern four bedroom holiday home in Lakes Entrance, we have designed and built it with the idea of catering for 1 or 2 families or a group of friends to relax and to enjoy the Gippsland Lakes and its surroundings. The Lakes Beach House is in a great location, only a short 8 minute walk on flat ground to the footbridge(no hiking up hills to get to this house). It is also close enough to the main street to not need the car but far enough from the action to be able to relax and get a good night sleep. See where 19 Whiters Street is on the map.

With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms(including large bath), it sleeps 10 comfortably which makes it ideal for 1 or 2 families or a group of friends. The large undercover deck features a Weber BBQ and an outdoor sink which is great for entertaining and with a north facing backyard its a perfect space for the kids to play safely.

The living and kitchen areas are protected with double glazed windows. All appliances are brand new and the fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave and another fridge and freezer in the garage. The laundry facilities include a front loading washing machine and clothes dryer.

The property features keyless entry, so no need to worry about where to store the keys when relaxing on the beach or going for a swim.

Home away from home

We were very impressed with our stay. Lakes Beach House is very spacious, and very comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, with everything anyone could possibly need, even a spice cupboard for the cooks. Beds are very comfortable with doonas and plenty of extra blankets if needed. It is also very cosy ,facing north ,capturing the morning sun, and really quiet, away from the busy highway, and a short walk to a supermarket, or to a walking track around the lake, and into town. We had our small dog with us, and were very pleased to have secure yard for her, and a sun filled back verandah for her too. The garage is secure, with key pad entry, and Tim is a great communicator, providing all necessary entry codes, and any other information you might need. We were fortunate to be able to buy prawns from a trawler, and to shop at the fishermans co-op on Bullock Island. Lakes beach House is truly a home away from home, we loved our time there, and hope to return soon, and can certainly highly recommend this for you.

Very impressed with this property

Property was large, clean and had everything it said it had plus more. Perfect fit for our families. We loved the property. Felt homely. Had a great time hanging out together. Communication beforehand was excellent and even messaged to say we could check in anytime the day of checkin. Our only negative was getting a phone call from the landlord the Monday night asking us not to put anything in the bin so it doesn’t smell. We were booked to stay until Wednesday and we put bins out for collection the Monday. We all just thought it was weird to get that phone call. We still had two days of rubbish. There is not a lot to do at Lakes Entrance unless you like fishing or the weather is nice for beach or boating. We went to a couple of restaurants and the food was terrible and the fish and chip shop food was disgusting. Overall though we had an amazing family holiday and if the property was in another location we would definitely book again. We were really impressed with the property.

Lakes week away.

We had a lovely time in a clean and welcoming house, only 5 minutes walk to Myers Street shops! Spacious bedrooms to retire to if the holiday gets too much and the security of a lock up garage for the car. Really enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic home in a great location

A very spacious and comfortable house in a great location in Lakes Entrance. We were close enough to the shops and cafes as well as being only 1 street away from the water. The living area is huge and the bedrooms are really good sizes. It really was a lovely stay and we would definitely recommend this place to others. Thanks!

Weekend at Lakes Entrance

10 of us stayed at the property for the Cup weekend. We have stayed at a lot of places, however this would rate as one of the best places we have stayed at, in terms of cleanliness and amenities provided. Tim thought of everything, right down to labelling cupboards, so it was very easy to find things. I cannot recommend this highly enough. We certainly cannot wait to get back. Anita

Wonderful

We rarely get to take holidays, so when we get the opportunity to do so we really like to make it count. The Beach House was everything we could have wanted and needed. We loved it. The house was clean and comfortable, well set up, close to shops and the main shopping strip. The owner was helpful and kept in contact. We really did have a great time and would most certainly recommend and not hesitate to book again. Thankyou.
