The Hide Away | Scenic Waterfront Escape
Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of Lakes Entrance, The Hide Away offers a warm and inviting retreat where coastal simplicity meets relaxed comfort. This welcoming escape is designed for guests who want to unwind, slow down and enjoy each moment, whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the deck or returning from a day exploring the lakes and beaches. Its quiet location creates a sense of privacy while still keeping you close to town, making it an ideal base for families, couples or friends looking for an easy, stress-free getaway.
Inside, the home features four comfortable bedrooms, an open living and dining area, a well-equipped kitchen and four modern bathrooms, with an ensuite to every bedroom. The fourth bedroom is detached from the main house and accessible from the deck, with its own ensuite, so one couple or a pair of guests can come and go without disturbing anyone else. Altogether the house sleeps 11. Large windows invite natural light throughout, and the outdoor deck and yard offer plenty of space to relax, dine and enjoy the fresh coastal air.
With its cosy atmosphere, great location and thoughtful touches, The Hide Away promises a laid-back coastal escape where you can truly switch off and enjoy the best of Lakes Entrance. The house is now pet friendly, so your dog is welcome to join you.

not good very bad experience
Terrible Experience – Not Worth the MoneyI had an extremely disappointing stay at this property. To start, the house is located on a dangerously steep 100-meter slope, making it incredibly difficult to access by car or on foot. The car park is located at the top of the hill, and you’re expected to walk up and down this steep incline every time you need to come or go — not only is this inconvenient, but it’s also unsafe.There’s no Wi-Fi provided, which is unacceptable considering the high price of the stay. What made the experience even worse was the rude and unhelpful customer service. I reached out to the property manager with reasonable requests, including asking if I could leave my rubbish near the house because the bins are placed all the way at the top of the hill. Walking uphill with bags of rubbish was exhausting, especially given the steep gradient. My request was rudely denied, and I was told to take the rubbish up myself — it honestly felt like I was being treated like a servant despite paying a premium for this property.The manager’s attitude was dismissive and unprofessional throughout. Overall, this property is extremely poorly managed, overpriced, and unsafe. I would not recommend it to anyone and strongly suggest looking elsewhere for a better experience. Save your time, money, and energy.
