It is like home away from home. Welcome warm tea n scone as well breakfast prepared personally by Susy are the best part of our stay Collectible China which we can choose from for breakfast is the ultimate experience.

Everything. The welcome, the friendliness, it was like we just came home after a long, long time away. The bed was just divine. Shower pressure was delightful. The small kitchen lounge was great. The hosts, I think were my parents in another life. The scones and pancakes made me feel like a child, fluffy and excited. This was such a lovely stay, far far exceeded our expectations.

Kiara Australia

The cottage is beautiful and Susie and Liam are wonderful hosts. They are lovely people and very accomodating. Susie even cooked us a delicious breakfast!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable experience staying in Lakes Entrance.

Sarah Australia

We had a wonderful time here. The cottage is charming: crammed with bric-a-bric and boasting a huge, welcoming kitchen. Our host was warm and friendly, and eager to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. There were scones on arrival, and coffee before we left. Would have been happy to stay longer than the single night we had there back in March, and hope to return in the near future.

Marie Australia

The cottage was quaint, though not to everybody's tastes. The hosts were friendly, attentive and had great senses of humour. The breakfasts were great as they tried to match all our requests. would certainly go again.

Martin Australia

Susie cooks an amazing breakfast. Her pancakes are absolutely amazing. You won’t need lunch once you’ve had a Susie breakfast!! Bed was so comfy & Susie & Liam are simply exceptional hosts.

Maree Australia

Didn't realise it is a Bed n Breakfast place when we booked. Susie n Liam were great hosts. Overall a good stay though i m more the motel/hotel type.

Kee Singapore

Liam and Susie
House was built in the 1920s and Moved to Lakes Entrance in the 1960s was used as a Boarding House. Now is home for Susie, Liam and our dog Molly and our cat Middy. Family are all grown up and have left the nest and we have rooms that don't get used. We have changed our bed and Breakfast, It is now separate from our area and just one Bedroom for guests you now have your own Dining\Lounge and Kitchenette you still have outside areas to sit read have a coffee or wine and conversation. When you arrive there will be home made Scones. Jam and Cream in the fridge made by Susie. Look forward to having guests stay again
