The view was beautiful. Enjoyed coffee while watching the sun rise. The sliding door out to the balcony was broken when I got in. I wasn't able to lock it the first night. However it was repaired quickly when I reported it. Dryer had a broken door this was also reported. Otherwise it was an enjoyable stay
All good except that the room smelt of stale cigarette smoke - especially on the first night

Expect better for the price
Lounge was stained not 1 Bedroom apartment just a studio with the bed having sliding slatted walls around it, can’t see tv from bed only from lounge which was stained with I hate to say. Bad layout.
So after a ramshackle start to my stay were my booking did not exist to waiting well over an hour to get booked in even though I had confirmation on my phone To no tv channels a sometimes internet My first impression was not good But luckily Bill came on the next day and what an absolute champion of a manager he is There was no mucking around with Bill he straight away organised a room transfer and a fantastic room it was The oaks are lucky to have this guy working for them I would have well and truely bagged this place out if it wasn’t for Bill
I would now recommend you stay at the oaks entrance and book it through Bill
Quick little getaway. Comfy bed room had all we needed. Restaurants, cafes and shops all walking distance. Across the road from the water. Great views. A bit more active on weekends.
Check-in was very easy. The lady on Reception, Tasa, is very nice and knowledgeable. Accommodation is very good, clean, comfortable bed. The WatersEdge Restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very good live music right next door @ the hotel. The only downside is having to pay $20 per night for on-site parking. Have stayed there three times & enjoyed it.

Wonderful coastal view at The Entrance
We had lovely 3 night stay ( same time as last year) but few negatives - terrible internet - very disappointing - very hard to watch Foxtel (which they provide!) Oaks need to upgrade so patrons can actually watch a movie !!!! Pool also in need of tile repair ( was in same condition as last year)
But we love the location, view fantastic, staff great, friendly & helpful - we hope to get back
really central and overall great .but i thought i had booked a room at the front overlooking the waterways .instead looked over pool at the back with a different waterview
Loved the balcony waterfront views, location and secure parking and lift. We didnt like the broken chairs around pool, missing and broken tiles in pool, only one big luggage trolley, housekeeping services not provided and a broken motel phone in room.

Great location & comfy accom
Very stay & very comfortable - although hotel showing its age a bit (esp the pool): terrific location and I would certainly stay there again for a 2-3 day break. Loved the king bed. Super clean & comfortable.
It was clean and the room had everything for our stay. The pool was good. Good access to free parking. So many restaurants on walking distance. Didn't like the bus stop and so many busses in the morning, a bit annoyed. Overall, the stay was enjoyable 😊
