What a little gem of a find. Absolutely beautiful cottage right in the woods and yet a 5 min drive to town. Jack is a wealth of knowledge and there is bird and possum feeding at certain times. There are beautiful parrots, a goose, chickens and a free range rabbit. Kids would love this place and there is a play area for the littlies. We had a 2 bedroom room with a spa and the fireplace was a bonus. Great size and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was very strong . There is also a fully stocked kitchen and washing machines and dryers. I can’t say enough about this place except we will be back again

The place is hidden in the bush in Lakes Entrance. With one little sign welcoming guests it becomes confusing to find where you need to go. the premises is covered by over grown foliage and with blown lights within you cottage and notes stuck over light switches stating do not use this place becomes very unsafe. cob webs all through the cottage and ants nests within the walls fly screen not sealing windows, and with no outside lighting when it is dark it is DARK. Not to mention the gentleman welcoming us at the property collected our room keys from the drop box bowl on the counter because he could not find them. This place needs a serious clean-up and inspection. No one to great you upon check out as I would have asked for a refund. lets say the time spent in the room was limited. The road entering and exiting is not safe for a normal vehicle being a sedan or hatchback car. 4wd or higher vehicles welcome.

Lovely little cottages in a serene forest location. Little rustic but clean and warm and we got what we were after with a lovely quiet overnight stay. The bird and possum feeding is a nice touch.

The place is great for someone who wants to stay somewhere a bit different. But it looks as though it is being run down. The road is in terrible condition, there is junk everywhere, none of the attractions advertised happened, the manager was almost impossible to get hold of, there was no tea or coffee, we had to ask for extra towels.

The owner is very enthusiastic about introducing fun places. There are quaint wooden houses in the countryside, a few free range chickens and a big white dog. You can feed the birds in the morning. It is an interesting experience for people who are used to living in the city.

Although the cottages are in a nice quite setting, they desperately need some maintenance as they are outdated and the spa had 2 cracked and dirty jets. The TV is a good size but the reception is abysmal, kjept dropping out every few minutes. The driveway is steep and dangerous. It is heavily washed out in places washed out, you really need a SUV or 4 wheel drive to get in and out of the property. the kitchen utensils were lacking, only 1 dinner plate and only 1 portable induction hotplate. When I asked for an additional plate it took over 24 hours for them to give me one. The cottage was clean except for the jets on the spa bath. Al in all I think for cost of the accomodation I would expect a higher quality.

Cosy cabins in a quiet area away from the main touristy bits (phew). The owner loves the wildlife and arranges evening feeding of the possums and morning feeding of the birds. It's a very 'back to nature' kind of place, which I think is great. The kitchen is a bit basic, but who needs fancy stuff when you're in such a nice area?

It’s cute cozy stay if you want remote away from the hustle bustle. So much potential but we found the roads in and out horrendous unless u have a 4x4; signage and pathways throughout the grounds was poor and very hard to find where to park, where reception is etc. No wifi which is vital these days. Communication with a reception was poor also. But the Cottage itself was cute.

This is a quite nice cottage located around the corner of the lakes entrance. My family have a wonderful 3 days holidays in here. Kalimna jatty walk just 5 mins walking distance. My kids enjoy the wood fire during cold winter night and the birds feeding on the morning.

The gentleman who was at reception very friendly and helpful however the property could use a tidy up and trees lopped back as one very close to falling right where car parked. Didn't use spa bath as was a little marked around plug area. Otherwise cozy cabin.

Had a very relaxing stay in a rustic cottage.

Old fashion cabin/cottage; basic but pleasant. The two bedroom cottage would accommodate 4 people so more than enough for the two of us. Compared to the modern apartments/units Kalimna Woods Cottages offers good old fashion charm.

We love Kalimna Woods, have been coming here for over 15 years. The cottages are large and spacious and the bed is really comfy. Beautiful, quiet location where you can relax and listen to the birds. Will definitely be back.

We booked for two nights and were contacted by the owners about the time of arrival. We arrived exactly on time to find nobody in reception and a phone number to ring. They were offsite so told us there was a note with keys in reception. We were travelling with another couple who also booked a two bedroom for 2 nights. They were placed in Number 9 and we were placed in Number 3 (not very close). the biggest disappointment was that the kitchen in our room was very small with a table in front of the Fridge and only 3 chairs as well as an oven and two hot plates that sat on top of the bench. Also we went to BBQ to find a dirty BBQ and also no gas bottle, so used the one next door. Also we were supplied with a used washing up cloth, so with the COVID crisis I think that it should have been new. The whole place had only around 3 bookings so we could have had a better cottage. Our friends cottage was much larger and had a lot of different amenities.

For anyone searching for some peace and solitude yet be within 5 kms of Lakes Entrance township, this is the place to stop and rest. The cabins were spotless, and a big plus was that the 4g network worked without any problems.
