“My only issue is I'm unable to give this place more than 5 stars! What a perfect stay and getaway right inbetween Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale, and just a few mins from the lakes for great fishing! Matt and Belinda are absolutely amazing owners that make you feel right at home. Parking, cleanliness, security and safety isn't an issue at all. Facilities are fantastic. Bed, couch, shower and kitchen are great.. and fish cleaning area is perfect! Thanks so much for another fantastic stay and Nicole and I look forward to many many more!”
“The staff at Bream Lodge were so helpful and welcoming. Not being an avid fisherperson I did not have an idea of where to go in the area and what to use. Matt gave me all the info I needed and I was away. The property is clean and tidy and a great resting spot either for a fishing weekend or a central spot for touring East Gippsland”
“Great location and facilities. Matt and Belinda go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We have been staying there for years and would not go anwhere else. Highly recommended.”
“Bream lodge was very impressive with spacious rooms big new quality queen beds, bathrooms in great condition and plenty of space for any size boat”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our school has been coming to Bream Lodge for the past six years, and every visit has been outstanding. The cleanliness of the facilities is impeccable, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for both staff and students. The catering for large school camps is superb, with an excellent menu tailored to the specific needs of our group. The food is always plentiful and well-prepared, making meal times a highlight of the stay. Matt and Belinda go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels at home, maintaining a warm, family-like atmosphere. By the time you leave, it truly feels like you’ve just visited a good relative. They are incredibly hard-working and accommodating, making every stay seamless and enjoyable. We keep coming back for a reason—Bream Lodge is simply fantastic. 5 stars from me!”
“I am staying at Bream Lodge since 2005 whether fishing bream tournaments, club or socially, and always enjoyed it. Great atmosphere, perfect fishing location central to all my favourite fishing spots. It is very safe, I can park my boat, charge the batteries, do some maintenance if needed, wash my fishing gear, all in one spot. Rooms are always clean and tidy with all amenities you'd expect in the motel accommodation. The owners and staff are super friendly, no problem that they cannot accommodate or help with. This stay over the Anzac Day holiday was no different. The wife and I had a really great time staying here. Thank you Matt and Belinda. Looking forward to our next visit here.”
