Attended a wedding there last year, a marvellous place to stay, the rooms were renovated and classy. It is a classic country escape, the staff reflected this in their friendly but proffesional manner. I returned recently and spent the weekend, a new manager has taken over, and a new chef, they are still finding their feet, but i found the staff friendly and willing to assist me with any thing i needed. The beds and rooms are beautiful with balconies overlooking the ocean. there is nothing more pleasant to wake up in the morning to the sound of waves breaking on the shore and birdlife. I would recommend a stay here to anyone who wants a change from town or city life. And it is a marvellous venue for functions with its large lawn stretching down to a pristine beach.

Our family stayed at the homestead. The house was not ready at 2pm we had to wait hour and half. After telling reception no, i could not just come back in a while, i have kids wanting to get out and run around. They did offer drinks till the room was ready. Nice!I was a little disappointed for the price I was expecting more... There were definitely lots of beds, but in one of the two showers the screen got stuck, so only children could squeeze through. The water dripped constantly from shower and toilet constantly filling.(annoying at night). The whole place needed a good spring clean. the lounge was stained and laundry dirty. Kitchen was good. The homestead was quiet, surrounded by bush and could hear ocean in mornings.

Beautiful location, terrible service & food. Bistro is just that..bistro frozen food which is a shame as this part of town has amazing fishing industry. We ordered a steak sandwich which was raw & gritty - no doubt the "chef" threw the steak on the grill frozen. I felt sick afterwards (from the mouthfuls I did have) & my mouth had that horrible taste of fat around my mouth. Food was not cheap either!

The bar staff were particularly rude when we ordered & afterwards when we asked for tomato sauce. We sat outside to take in the amazing view, food was brought to our table but we were then told to get our cutlery from the bar..off we walked back, mind you there were prob about 30 people in the entire place, & the bar staff when we walked back was chatting to a friend on the phone..obviously very busy! Shame really as placed like this depends on tourism. Lucky the place is a perfect location for weddings...better get some good staff though!

can you imagine how difficult it is trying to have a relaxing cup of coffee with 3yr old twin boys? My daughter and I stopped at the seahorse in on our way back to Lakes Entrance it was great, warm friendly staff, great coffee, and the little blond haired girl serving us came out with a ball for the boys to play with. Thank you it was great. What a beautiful place we will definately be going back would love to spend a week or two, they have done wonders with the renovations over the last few years, I remember going there years ago it was a run down old ruin now it is first class, nice to see our history being restored would imagine Ben Boyds ghost smiling to see how lovely it is.
