Cosy, comfortable & quiet

We had a most enjoyable stay. Susie had baked fresh scones for our arrival & Liam cooked a delicious breakfast the next day. The accommodations had all you need for a cosy, comfortable stay. We also really appreciated the automatic coffee machine to get us up & going. Liam & Susie are great hosts & Liam provided us a local map with recommendations for sightseeing & dining.

Cosy, comforting, an escape from the city surrounded by birdsong in the garden!

It was truly a perfect stay at Ivy May. The hosts were exceedingly lovely and supportive, and prioritised our comfort. The bnb was such a charming location with a beautiful garden with seating, and a bedroom, bathroom, and living room that had exquisite decoration. In particular, the art by Joe was beautiful to behold. The freshly made scones with jam and cream were delightful, and the hot breakfast the next morning was so delicious. We greatly look forward to returning, and only have praise for Ivy May and the wonderful hosts Susie and Liam

Highlight of our Sapphire Coast road trip.

We loved everything about this property. Liam and Susie were so welcoming. From the Cream tea on arrival to the beautiful tasty breakfast. Ivy May Cottage was so quaint and cosy. Everything you need and more. Close proximity to the lovely town center. Lakes Entrance was one of the highlights of our Sapphire Coast Road trip. We would definitely recommend this property. What a gem.

Fantastic hosts in an amazing setting with True Blue Australian hospitality.

From the warm welcome by Liam and Susie to the amazing style of their home which I can only describe as Old World Australiana. Everything was perfection for us. We loved our overnight stay and will definitely return if the opportunity for us arises. The breakfast cooked by Susie, rivals anything that you could possibly get at a cafe or restaurant. Liam was very helpful with information about the local area which is also absolutely stunning. Being greeted with freshly home baked scones and muffins is another level of hospitality, definitely not experienced in your usual hotel accommodation. Both Liam and Susie just go above and beyond with every detail of your stay.

Amazing

The most delightful accommodation experience from magnificent hosts. Book it now, you will not be disappointed. From the fresh scones on arrival, to the decor and facilities, the extremely comfy bed, the awesome coffee machine and tea selection, and the most delicious breakfast ever! Liam and Susie have created a beautiful accomodation experience that is nothing short of amazing. Sitting on the outside deck and the lovely garden, breakfast at the inside sitting area, the fully - and I mean fully - appointed kitchenette, the extremely comfy double bed, and very nice en suite bathroom. Liam and Susie are both amazing hosts oozing with warmth and friendliness, and that feeling of no request or providing of local information/tips is too much. When Liam asks you what your breakfast selection would like to be, your mouth is already watering and you just know you won't want to eat for the rest of the day. I would/will travel to Lakes Entrance again just to stay at Liam and Susie's Ivy May Cottage, the experience is exquisite.

Fabulous accommodation and hosts.

This was a perfect getaway and place to stay whilst exploring Lakes Entrance. Our hosts were fantastic and provided everything that we needed, including great information on places to visit. We were treated to freshly made scones on our arrival, which we had relaxing on the beautiful verandah and our breakfasts were absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend this tranquil, cozy and fabulous accommodation.

A wonderful overnight stay…

A wonderful overnight stay at Ivy May cottage. The front verandah overlooks a very pretty garden, the house is incredibly clean, charming, and historic, and Suzie’s scones were the lightest I’ve ever tasted! Suzie and Liam are the perfect hosts and happy to share not only the history of the cottage but where to go and what to see around Lakes Entrance.

Absolutely awesome 🙌

Wow….. what a welcome! After a long day on our motorbike we arrived and Liam was at the front gate waiting to open it so we could ride straight into their property! We then walked in to meet Susie and the amazing smell of baking 😋 scones, jam and fresh whipped cream (best scones ever) and….. just cooked cookies! After showing us our room, kitchen and lounge area which was delightful with old world charm, Liam offered to take me to the shops in his car so we didn’t have to get back on the bike, now that’s service 👍 Liam then took our order for breakfast….. Bacon, eggs(cooked to perfection) mushrooms, tomatoes,chippolates and sour dough toast 😋 pot of tea and coffee. I thought this would be extra as bed and breakfast is usually a continental breakfast? Susie wouldn’t accept extra money for this as I thought this would be extra and happy to pay 🙏 we had the best sleep in the ever so comfortable bed, all refreshed for another day on the bike! Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts Liam and Susie, you truly made our stay something special 🙏🙏🙏 we would definitely stay here again only next time longer ♥️

Ivy May Cottage is a haven, an ideal home from home.

How wonderful to find this traditional B&B, located on a hill above Lakes Entrance. The cosy cottage is surrounded by a wide verandah, perfect for relaxing in the evening. Liam and Susie run the place with such care and attention to detail that we felt thoroughly spoilt. Separate from the hosts' living area, we had a bedroom, ensuite, small lounge.dining room and kitchenette. The cooked breakfast was very tasty and free of grease. Or you had a choice of healthy cereals and muesli, bread and jams.
