The Moorings at Metung

Beautiful location right opposite the water. Our room was clean and quiet. Air-conditioning kept the room at the perfect temperature. Comfortable bed and great spa bath that we sat in for ages. Staff at reception were friendly and courteous. Within walking distance to some nice places to eat. Shame we could only stay 1 night.

This was a lovely place to stay overnight, or preferably for a longer stay. Quiet little village. You could walk easily to all eateries and other facilities at The Moorings. There is no restaurant or food available at The Moorings. Reception closes at 6pm and then other arrangements would need to be made. It is a beautifully set out complex. We did not have a water view, btu give we got in after dark and left early, this was not a problem. Our room had a small balcony with outdoor furniture facing the (not busy) main road. Great to be able to open the door if needed, but too cold and wet at this time of the year. Parking is a little tight, but at least available. Our room was spacious, super clean, smelt gorgeous and was luxurious. Lovely pillows, mattress and bed linen. Very comfortable bed. Updated bathroom, which was spacious and had all amenities. The Moorings use Appelles products and full range available. They smell divine. We walked two minutes away for dinner at Chef Chez Joe's. Had planned to go to the Metung Hotel, but the bistro was closed for a function. We could have had a meal in the bar area, but far too noisy to enjoy anything. Chef Chez Joe's is not the most aesthetically pleasing bistro, but the menu, food and service made up for this. It is a fusion Australian, Malaysian, middle eastern and possibly a bit of Italian. It appeared that the operators were a couple who variously cooked and waited tables depending on the type of food ordered. They were terrific. Food was excellent, we both had fish given the location and were not disappointed. Couldn't recommend this unassuming little restaurant more highly. Overall, will definitely return to Metung and The Moorings and spend some more time exploring the beautiful Lakes Entrance area.

We enoyed our getaway to the Moorings. The room was excellent and the service provided upon check in was very friendly and helpful. The Moorings is perfectly located with easy access to shops, cafes and the Pub. Would definately stay they again!
