Did a solo overnight stay to capture the sunset at Long Jetty and the sunrise at Crackneck Lookout and the location is well located to access both by car within 15min.

The rooms are dated, but clean. I stayed in the one bedroom loft and it had everything I needed for the night and more. Kitchen with oven, microwave, stove, washing machine and dryer, balcony, shower.

Getting the ocean view room is a must, the views are absolutely amazing.

Location wise, you are at the doorstep to go on the Coast to Lake walk, with eateries along the strip. I was there on a weeknight but it seems that on the weekends, there's a local carnival set up as well as free Pelican talks that happen so it'll be more lively on the weekend I assume.

There is the option of parking in the open public car park which is just across the road, or you can pay $20 for the hotel carpark. I opted for the paid parking given that I was going to go in and out a bit and didn't want to bother trying to find a new parking space (though there are plenty).

Overall, if you are wanting location over luxury, this is a good choice. I would actually choose to stay here again for the views alone

We were given a waterfront studio which had breathtaking views. The room was large, the bed and pillows very comfortable. A kitchenette was a handy feature as was the washer and dryer. The only thing that let it down was the bathroom which ,while large, was very much in need of a makeover. Climbing in and out of a shower over the bath becomes frought with danger as we approach our 70s.

We have stayed many times & love it's location, so close to everything. The only complaint this time was that on the 1st night (we stayed 2 nights,1 at the beginning & 1 at the end of our Hunter Valley holiday in different rooms) the TV didn't work & the lovely man on reception finally fixed it up for up for us. On our 2nd stay the washing machine cord wasn't plugged in & was caught under the machine, how this even happened is weird & to have to untangle it all was stressful especially as we are not young. We haven't experienced any problems previously, only this time but apart from this would definitely stay again.

Oaks The Entrance Waterfront was a great location however the property is really dated.
The staff were under the pump when everyone arrived at 2:00, and had some difficult people to deal with and managed it well with smiles on their faces doing the best they could.
The pool has so many tiles missing off the surface you're lucky not to cut your feet, and the spa is awful. This area was huge and would be excellent if updated and maintained.The gym was closed altogether which was a big disappointment to us.
The rooms are dated with difficult small access into the shower over a corner spa.
The balcony area was lovely to sit and look over the water. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette was handy and had everything you would need.

Apart from the late check in due to unwell staff at no means their fault, our room was not ready at the check in time. We could only gain access after an hour but the reception was very accommodating and allowed us an our late check out and gave us a bottle of wine. The room was very clean, well lit, comfy bed and loved the bath shower idea. The products they use for complimentary toiletries are very nice. Just might need a new fridge, the door on the insde was broken. The pool and jacuzzi was also a nice touch to the hotel. Will book again with my family.

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.

Room was clean and spacious. The ocean and river view were outstanding. Wonderful proximity to the Entrance concourse and parkland, and easy walks.
The bed was spacious and comfortable.
The pool tiles and bathroom tiles could use a facelift and repair.
We had a problem with the phone which had no power cord. That was reported but was it was not replaced.
Also one of two USB charging points was not working.
We had a nice balcony. Unfortunately, although the hotel clearly states it is a non-smoking building, some people were smoking on their balconies near us. Suggestion - place non-smoking signs on the balconies.

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 🐞

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.

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.
