Top Lakes and Wilderness Hotel Reviews

Bairnsdale International

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Bairnsdale for family funeral and the accommodation during this stay was great. Rooms very clean, comfortable and quiet. Off street parking was a bonus. Birds chirping in the trees, outside in the morning, was lovely & peaceful. The staff were exceptionally friendly. We had a scrumptious breakfast on our last morning in the restaurant which was perfectly presented and very generous. There was a very good vibe amongst the staff which was proof of a well run establishment."
