Staff was very friendly, great service. Also the food is quite good. A nice slice of the entrance where you can meet the locals. If I needed anything the staff were there to accommodate. I enjoyed my time away and will absolutely be coming back in the near future

Great steak sandwich, perfect bun toasty and tasty - the snitty burger - southern style.. beautiful.. lge patty and decent chips - great bar staff and waitress was lovely. The place has been renovated very well, toilets were spotless and huge TV's for the footy n tab. Great spot for a drink

The bands employed by the Lakes Hotel at The Entrance are excellent! Last Saturday night, friends and I thought we would try the food too. We all ordered the roast of the day which was pork (‘with all the trimmings’ according to the menu). However, we ordered apple sauce (a standard condiment with roast pork). Well, the young man at the till insisted that it would cost $3 extra each, on top of the $20 for roast of the day. Now we are pensioners, and that seemed unreasonable to us -particularly as there was no mention of expensive apple sauce on the menu. We politely asked the young man at the till who held fast, insisting rudely on the extra payment! It left a sour taste in our mouths! I think we will go elsewhere for dinner in the future!

Very much looking forward to a meal out ...raining all day here ! 🌧 Nice feel when we walked in and friendly staff ready to take our order. Two young lasses from Spain on a working visa. Our meals were substantial and reasonable value but my cut of meat was far from premium and very tough.

Worst lunch and a rip-off on their Mothers Day Lunch Buffet. Promised much, delivered nothing. Supposed to be open at 2pm seating and they weren't ready to seat people for nearly 20 minutes. They had the restaurant booked but didn't cater for a buffet. Prawns were served in small vases that held no more than 20 prawns and the ran out in no time. Oysters Kirkpatrick. How can you advertise a seafood buffet and run out in no time at all. Check out the photos of the toilet. Australia 2023 with toilet from 1950. Go there at your own peril. Worst lunch or dinner experience and no value for money.

The worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Exceptionally thin walls - the terribly karaoke might as well have been happening in our room until past midnight. Music so loud the floor was vibrating. Out dated, shabby bathrooms and very basic room.

We have been traveling for a week now, and this venue is the only one worth writing up. The staff were friendly, the venue well presented, the food was excellent, and the prices were good. I noticed it has won 3 awards in recent years as well. All in all we were very happy with this hotel and dinner venue, plus I can recommend the Seafood Chowder. Best ever..
