When planning your journey to Lakes Entrance, it is important to note that all accessible regional airports are located in neighboring cities, as there is no major commercial airport within Lakes Entrance itself. Cooma Snowy Mountains Airport (OOM) serves as the gateway to the Snowy Mountains region and is the primary airport option for this itinerary. Travelers arriving here will find that the journey to the coast involves a significant drive through high-country terrain. Because this airport is situated in a neighboring city, travelers should prioritize ground transport arrangements, such as car rentals or private transfers, which offer the most direct route. While bus services exist, they typically involve long travel times and multiple connections, making them less convenient for those on a tight schedule. Overall, the best strategy for visitors is to balance the cost of private transport against the time saved, as public transit options in this remote region are limited and infrequent compared to major metropolitan hubs.

It is far from the city of lakes entrance, but the whole house is more comfortable. Since we will stay late, the hotel said that it sent a message to the mobile phone, but it has not been able to receive it. After many calls, we can finally receive the check-in guidelines for non-working hours.FromUS$128

The hotel was better than expected. The details were well done, better than the pictures. The management was very meticulous. A very rare experience. The only problem was that it was difficult to communicate. Another group of Chinese tourists' credit cards could not be swiped, and the hotel really did not check them in, and asked them to go out and solve the credit card problem. It was already past 6 o'clock at that time. Remember to communicate with the hotel in advance when checking in with children, otherwise they can also refuse to check in.FromUS$142

We stopped over for a night at the Sandbar Motel. The service was very welcoming and friendly. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we slept really well. The room was clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The Motel is conveniently located on the main road, which has a canal across the street. You can walk along the canal and take a footbridge to the beach or to a good long nature walk. There are a few restaurants nearby. I would recommend this Motel.FromUS$90

The place is nice and pricewise it was decent. We had a bit of issue trying to access the place; apparently you have to register your mobile number with them so they can sms you the codes. Not sure why they couldn’t email if there was no mobile number registered on the system. However when I called them, they said the sms system was down anyway so they could only give me the entry codes over the phone. I wonder what would have happened if I did not purchase a local prepaid SIM card with voice service. Another issue was no toilet paper in the entire unit. They needed to send someone over to replace it.FromUS$141
