The apartment has a very high spec. It is modern, well equipped, comfortable and in a great location just a few mi utes walk from the village centre. It has an easy access, no key, code system that avoids the need to have multiple keys for all family members. My only complaint was that I had to call them to check how I got access to the property given there are no staff on site. They said they were glad I called because my international phone number meant they had been unable to contact me. What about email? Anyway, it’s a great apartment.

Stunning view over the lake, straightforward check in and comfortable apartment. Bit quiet before Christmas when we visited but beautiful area nonetheless

Had to go to town's information both to call about how to connect the WiFi internet service.
Not working when we arrived. On the first call we were told to turn on the TV!
This did no good. Second call we were told that was wrong and we had to turn on the router.
Correct, but why did we have to go through this hassle?
The apartment had absolutely NO available electrical receptacles. Even the floor lamp in
the living room was unusable as there was nowhere to plug it in.
Went to the local restauarants to have dinner to find them closing at 8.30.

I would highly recommend 5 Knots to anyone visiting Metung or the surrounding area. The apartments are equipped to a very high standard. It is close to Lakes Entrance where you can go sailing, fishing and if you are lucky you can see the local Dolphins. Metung also has some excellent restaurants and bars.

Perfect getaway
Had everything we could have asked for our stay. Was a perfect unit.
A coffee machine was promised but not in evidence. Otherwise, acceptable.

Property was clean and had an abundance of up to date tech. Downsides, car park not secure, difficult to manage steps if needed.

What a stunning place. Good for long stays. Perfect area, never been before, will definitely go back. Needs a new couch, something higher and a little more comfortable. Same as the outdoor seating.
