Lakes Entrance is a beautiful place in eastern Victoria, Australia. It is a tourist destination and a fishing port. Located about 320 kilometers east of Melbourne, it is locally known as “The Lakes”. If you are planning to visit this place on your next holiday trip, you need to plan in advance. The prospect of renting motels or apartments may seem thrilling, but the reality turns out to be different in most cases. What you have to do is search. If you are a family of 4, bear in mind that not every motel Lakes Entrance offers rooms for a family of 4 and even those that do offer only one or two rooms with an accommodation capacity of 4 people, which tends to be booked most of the time. So, you have to carefully choose your options.
If you can, refine your search and start looking for suites. This option is often more cost-effective as it accommodates more guests in a room which prevents the need for another room. Keep in mind that suites are often limited and tend to be booked well in advance throughout the peak season.
Contact the motel or apartment directly and inquire whether they have family accommodation options or whether they'll be able to provide you with an extra bed or two if need be. In Lakes Entrance, you can also ask around about serviced Lakes Entrance apartments that are available for families. Your main factors for choosing an accommodation should be: price, cleanliness, comfort, location and amenities. If you want to stay during peak season, the prices will likely be higher. Don't forget to ask about the amenities provided by them. A good motel provides a refrigerator and kitchenette with microwave in family suites. You can also expect in-room coffee and tea-making facility and room service breakfast. These things are important for the convenience of the traveling family.
When traveling, you have to plan your wardrobe. There are so many different types of activities to enjoy in Lakes Entrance that you are sure to feel uncomfortable without the right clothes. If you are traveling with very young children, take lots of clothes, underclothes, and diapers. Don't forget to bring the stroller.

How to Prepare Your Kids for Behaving Themselves in the Motel?
Children are normally very excited when traveling. They may want to share this excitement with everyone and every inanimate object around. It can be difficult to control them but it is very important to establish discipline. You need to remind your children from time to time that you are not in your home and such behavior is not accepted here. Explain to them that there are other people around who have come to relax and enjoy a vacation too. Improper behavior can make it difficult for them to enjoy their vacation.
So, that was all. Keeping these factors in mind will help you have a fantastic vacation in Lakes Entrance, in comfortable apartments.
