Everything was in top quality and the place was impeccable. The only downsides were that the kitchen cupboard for dishes were so high I could not get them out by myself. The other thing was the spa bath. Its bathtub plug (drain stopper) moves at a slightest bump, which happened while I was using the jet stream. I didn’t notice that the water level got so low that jet bulbs spouted out the water and flooded the entire bathroom, including the toilet paper, my clothes and spare towels. I would really like a more secure stopper, please. We would still come back and stay again here because it’s so nice but it would be nice these two points were fixed by then. Thank you very much.

Unit 6 overlooking Bancroft Bay was a great spot to spend a few days. Everything in Metung was within walking distance of the apartment and we only had to use the car for day trips.
The few downsides were a neighbour’s tree banging against the apartment wall on a windy night that kept us awake, limited storage space and no pantry. The view from the balcony is spectacular capped off with beautiful sunrises.

This property is a great modern style and layout, has high quality appliances and fittings. Heated towel rails, heated tiles, electric blinds, large shower heads and a spa bath. The only thing it is missing is an electric blanket. The master bedroom upstairs doesn’t have a door to block off the stairs so is unsafe for children. Great parking and a short walk to the river and lovely little cafe’s.

Our vehicle broke down on route to the property at about 5.30pm. It had to be towed to Orbost. We were completely unable to get to Metung. Unsuccessful attempts were made to contact the venue . Efforts were also made to contact Wotif.
We are hoping the misfortune of a breakdown and the impossibility of getting there will persuade Wotif and/or the venue to refund our booking.

So much better than the photos!

I've never stayed somewhere so nice! we made the most of regional Victorian's being able to travel for the long weekend, and because of the lock down we were able to get the penthouse apartment.
Right from the get go the staff were great to deal with, they called to make sure we were following the restrictions in place. Emails then followed and texts to ensure the contact-less check in was a breeze. The staff we did meet were so friendly.
The room itself was so much more than expected, It was well laid out and the added luxuries were amazing! it did have a few spots of wear and tear from over the years, but these aren't brand new apartments and didn't spoil the room. The reason we were drawn to this room was the private Sauna and Spa. these worked perfectly, BEST DECISION EVER!!
The view and location were also top notch, a short stroll to the pub and restaurants, the walk to get there is along the water's edge boardwalk. I love visiting Metung and now that I've found this place I love it even more!

This was the third time I have stayed at 5 knots Metung, and up until now, have always loved it. This time we stayed in room 1a, (a different room to what we have had in the past), which is a 1 bedroom spa apartment that looks out across the road to the lake. Check in was easy, and the lady on the phone was more than helpful. But, the cleanliness of the property and the room was below satisfactory for what your paying for. The entry door to the room is filthy, the light above the door is absolutely filled with dead bugs and insects, and spider webs around the keypad and door frame.
As for the inside of the room, more spider webs around the windows, a spider web on the back of the little tea and coffee box on the table, dust on the window ledge in the bedroom, dirt and dust around the legs of the fridge, mould in the bottom of the shower, mould in the tiling at the back of the spa, and food or whatever it was on the wall.
This is supposed to be one of the top places to stay in town, but you are not welcoming people back to stay. I certainly won't be in a hurry to stay here again. I'd like to share the photos i have for everyone to see, but unfortunately there is no way to do it with this review.
This review is only for room 1a, as i can't comment on the other rooms...maybe they were cleaner?

The unit was close to the hub of Metung and beautifully positioned. Incredibly the unit did not come with a washing machine! I couldn't believe that a property in such a hub for water-based activities would not include a washing machine, such a remarkably foolish oversight demonstrating a disregard for the needs of the customer. I imagine this is more a question for the owner of the unit rather than the managers of the complex. Everything else was excellent

Young family with 3 kids (9,7,1yo). 1yo just starting to walk, so occasionally on all fours, therefore chose property based on cleanliness rating. Unfortunately not as clean as it appears. Floors were filthy, don't think they have had a good vacuum and mop in a long while. Our feet were black, it was disgusting (pity I didnt think to take a photo of them to show how black they were). Second day, I couldnt bare it that I took it on my own accord to sweep and mop the whole place down. Not ideal condition when you have a 1yo who is still crawling.
Customer service wasn't the best. Not helpful. I called the day prior to check in and spoke to Patty. I requested for a high chair. Was told they don't have any. I thought this was strange as upon booking, high chair was stated as an item they provide. I called again, spoke to Patty again and told her website states highchair, wasn't until then that she checked the website and agreed to have a highchair for us?!?
On arrival, early evening, apartment was cold. Wanted to turn on heater in rooms but there was no instruction manual. I called reception and asked if she could help. Her response was 'sorry I have no idea' and offered no other help, didnt even offer to find out. Having kids in a cold apartment, is not what I would call being confortable. It wasn't until I asked if she could find out did she agree that that was what she will do. Anyway, she never got back to me. I eventually figured out turn on the heaters in the room.

There was no frypan to fry eggs as they only had a griddle pan, there should have been some instructions left on how to operate the air conditioner. I did manage to get someone on the phone. Lastly we arrived around 3:30 and as there is no reception I had to check my phone for check-in details and noted that I had been sent a txt at 3pm for Appt No. I would suggest this could have been sent earlier.

Two night stay in the penthouse apartment

Booked in for an overnight stay in the penthouse apartment , was overwhelmed by the quality and size of the apartment and its luxury extras. Huge master bedroom with double shower and a sauna. The king size bed was divine and made waking up a real problem. Down stairs had two large double bedrooms one with ensuite. A third bathroom was huge and was home to a deep spa. The attention to detail in the kitchen was superb in built coffe machine, double door fridge , dishwasher and a larg bench with ample seating. No need to drive to get breakfast or lunch as there is plenty on offer within just a short walk. Pub also a short walk but we were turned away for dinner due to high demand on a Saturday night. To sum up an amazing stay and would recommend it without hesitation.

Nice apartment, fully equipped, generally clean (a little dusty in some places, greasy couch). Spa was very nice. Car park is extremely cramped (cramped enough that you cannot park next to another car in the allocated bays) and some bays that were allocated were not even under cover. When we rung up to request a different bay that was free, the service was rude and dismissive. They claimed that they were booked out but we saw many empty bays for the 2 nights that we stayed...even the information centre said it was off season and quiet in the town...

Correct, but why did we have to go through this hassle?
