What guests think
At Oaks The Entrance Waterfront Suites, travellers consistently praise the waterfront location and big views, with many finding rooms spacious and suitable for short stays, while recurring concerns cite maintenance problems in parts of the property.
Guests frequently note worn pool and spa areas, occasional gym closures, lift outages, and paid on-site parking that can be tight to navigate. Rooms often deliver beautiful ocean or lake views and balconies, but decor can feel dated, some beds are uncomfortable, internet/TV can be unreliable, and many rooms use a high shower-over-bath that challenges older travellers. Cleanliness ranges from spotless to inconsistent, and staff are commonly described as friendly and helpful, though there are occasional reports of rudeness or slow responses. Expect great views and convenience, with trade-offs in age and upkeep.

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.

Upkeep of the property is highly recommended, we arrived late and unfortunately ended up in a room with one side of the bed that was broken, also the air-conditioning was really loud. We also chose to oay for the extra parkinf at $20 a night, it is a very tight car park and there was not many spots to park, you could potentially mark the bays with a number and allocate them to a car based on size, we chose the second overflow car park the second night, not secure but wider and more accommodating spots. The location from the car park into the accommodation is a bit of a maze. The pool and spa was lovely, unfortunately the pool requires fixing as there are broken tiles at the bottom. The gym was potentially under construction. The cost to saty was not in reason I do not think. On a positive, staff were very accommodating and moved us into another room that had a good sturdy bed and all very polite. I love the Oaks but felt a little ket down with this property. Kind regards 🐞

Positives: The room itself was excellent and the view is amazing. Not so positive: The in room safe did not work (was told it was brand new), the telephone was connected but also did not work, and the kettle in the room was faulty but we managed to get that to working. The shower also needed a really good clean of both mould and soap scum. But the worst thing during our stay, there was only one working lift and on a busy weekend that took a long time to go up or down to and from the lobby. Otherwise location is a crakka and the views are postcard perfect.

Car park ramps are steep, narrow and dark -terrible to navigate in any wagon or SUV. Kitchen hot plate markings worn off so no idea which way is on/off and what temperature. There is only one 5min park out the front when checking in so we had to drive around for 30mins waiting for it to clear and then only one lift working. Supposed to be non-smoking but level one often reeked.

The property was over priced. It is old and dated. However this would not have been an issue if it was clean, it was not. Smelly frozen fish smell in the freezer, which I cleaned, dirty carpet, curtains and lounge. There was no chance staff were going to fix the issue. They all need replacing. I cleaned the place myself because no staff available after late afternoon except reception. There was an awful smell under the sink and in the cupboards which I cleaned myself, but could not get rid of. Not worth the money. I checked out 2 days early because I could not stand the smell. Would not recommend. The only plus - reception staff were pleasant to deal with and tried. But the issues were never going to be fixed just by cleaning. The facilities in the hotel are also dated and not clean enough for the amount of money charged and the rating it receives.

The hotel is in need of repair. The pool area has many loose and missing tiles and most chairs were broken. The unit itself was ok, but felt dirty. Marks in the walls, carpet, couch. The tv also wouldn’t turn on after the first day. Telephone wouldn’t call reception either so I had to call using my mobile. The neighbours smoked most of the time we were there which really ruined our ability to enjoy the amazing view. The kitchen was stocked ok, but couldn’t even open a bottle of wine and the fridge was luke warm at best. We didn’t end up cooking either, but having plates and bowls and such was a big help. Really enjoyed having two rooms and the loft was good. The aircon was great too. Laundry in unit was a huge help as we all only had one towel each to use for both showers and pool for the length of our stay. The main bathroom shower head wouldn’t stay up so it made it hard for adults to shower. The car parking was convenient but really tight to get our midsized SUV in and out. Overall we were disappointed with the stay for the money we spent. We won’t return to this hotel.

When I booked I had the option of a studio with no housekeeping which was cheaper I took the second option which was dearer expecting housekeeping would be included however on arrival there was no housekeeping and we were given 2 food vouchers value $10.As we were there for 3 nights this was a poor substitute. I feel this should be made clearer on the website that housekeeping is included.

This hotel is in bad need of a refit. The reception staff are amazing and the only reason I would return. I booked a one bedroom room with ocean view. The room is actually a small studio and not one bedroom. The carpet in places, was worn right through to the floor underneath and it looks like a resin has been melted around the borders of the holes to prevent further fraying. The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly and there was black dirty shoe imprints all over the tiles. The room just felt dirty and smelled musty even though it looked like it had been cleaned. There are not many hotel options at The Entrance and not much competition which is possibly why this hotel possibly hasn’t been updated since the 80’s. This hotel is in desperate need of renovation.

Rooms
Rooms are generally spacious with balconies and standout ocean or lake views, but decor is dated in places, some beds are uncomfortable, and high shower-over-bath setups can be difficult for older guests. Internet/TV reliability is also a recurring gripe.

Overall we were happy with our stay. The ocean view from our balcony was great and we saw whales breaching off shore both afternoons. The building is a bit run down and showing signs of neglect. Our room was comfortable and good size but the bathroom was pretty tired and old fashioned. The phone did not work in our room so we had to use our mobiles to contact reception. The tap over the tub in the bathroom leaked continuously and the manhole in the same room showed signs of a bad leak from the bathroom above and was quite ugly.

Room was ok but quite dated and a bit gritty in some aspects (Eg couch had many marks on it and cigarette burns on carpet). Great water views. Bed and shower great. Room included washer and dryer which was handy. Parked at the free council car park opposite the hotel reception. Don’t pay for the hotel parking if you can help it. TV didn’t work initially so someone at the desk fixed it, but once it was turned off it stopped working again - which was quite annoying. Only one person at the front desk all the time we were there.

The ocean view room was great. We saw whales from the balcony. The studio room was clean and spacious. Unfortunately it was too cold to use the pool and spa, the wind was blowing a gale, otherwise it would have been the perfect stay. The staff were excellent, we couldn't work out how to use the tv and I called reception, someone came within 10 minutes to come and show us. I would definitely stay here again.

I arrived late and was met by Tasa on the front desk, she was amazing and an asset to have representing the face of your company. Tasa went above and beyond to assist me and helped me change rooms as I had booked last minute and booked the wrong room. I had a beach view and it was incredible. Please pass on my thanks to Tasa from Kristy.

The ocean view room was great. We saw whales from the balcony. The studio room was clean and spacious. Unfortunately it was too cold to use the pool and spa, the wind was blowing a gale, otherwise it would have been the perfect stay. The staff were excellent, we couldn't work out how to use the tv and I called reception, someone came within 10 minutes to come and show us. I would definitely stay here again.

The dishwasher was not working, and when we informed the receptionist, he was rude and unhelpful. He claimed nothing could be done about it, handed us dishwashing liquid, and instructed us to wash the dishes ourselves.

Location
Exceptional waterfront location is a clear highlight: central, walkable to cafes, pubs, shops and playgrounds, with scenic water views and paths. A few mention noise or that the surrounding area feels run down or less safe at night.

Very disappointing. Area is unsafe and we were advised not yo walk far at night. Property is old, furnishings worn and stained. No amenities were open. View was excellent but not worth the price. Would not stay again or return to the area.

Nice, modern, clean room. More like a live-in apartment than just a hotel room, with cook-top, kitchen sink, full fridge/freezer and utensils. Bathroom had a washing machine and tumble-dryer. Impressive! Room also had its own reverse-cycle air conditioner, as opposed to ducted system - so my comfort was assured! Smack bang in the Entrance where all the action is - just metres from the bars and restaurants. Very friendly and helpful staff! Well done! Will definitely stay again!

Nice view from the balcony. Very central location. The pool area and water was cold so we couldn’t enjoy sitting there. Seemed to get very windy as it’s situated on level 2. All of the shops and restaurants underneath were closed on a Monday so I’d suggest staying here another night.

Location was amazing. Right in the heart of the Entrance walking straight out onto the waterfront walkway. Fabulous balcony overlooking the water. Large king bed that was decent. Spacious room. Heating was easily controlled by us. Restaurants, cafes and pubs within quick walking distance…… so much choice.highly recommend the pub/hotel nearly next door. Very quiet hotel. Checkin was a breeze. A secure block with access after hours by swipe card. Bathroom very clean but be aware the shower is a small bath and very high to access esp if you have a disability or are very elderly with mobility problems.that would be my only downfall but I would definitely return to this place. Gorgeous sunrises from our balcony.

Everything about the resort was excellent. Walk to cafes and restaurants, a nice stroll to the beach and baths and most importantly a massive playground for the kids just outside the resort. Will definitely stay there again.

Stayed one night in an ocean view room. Wow, what a view!! The room was spacious and could turn into a private bedroom when required due to movable screening. Full laundry if you need. Kitchenette. Didn't get a chance to go to the pool deck. Council car park 10m away, free. The local pub is next door- for was exceptional. Highly recommend the stay.
