Lakes Entrance Holiday Accommodation
Holiday Accommodation
To get the most out of your trip to the Gippsland Lakes
why not hire a cruiser for a week and spend your whole
holiday on the water. Or if you’d rather base yourself
on land, you can enjoy wonderful lakeside accommodation
at one of the waterfront villages. On the shores of Lake
King is Paynesville, a boatie's haven surrounded by water
on three sides with canals and inlets providing lots of
sheltered moorings for yachts. Metung is a small, stylish
village set on an arm of land extending into the lakes
with water lapping on the shores on both sides. Alternatively
at the point where the Gippsland Lakes drain into the
sea lies Lakes Entrance. This is a holiday town with plenty
of activities on offer.
