Metung
A quiet holiday village on the shores of Lake King, with a marina, lakeside pubs and boardwalks, the most refined corner of the Gippsland Lakes.
Metung sits on a peninsula between Lake King and Bancroft Bay, about 20 km from Lakes Entrance. It is known for its marina, lakeside restaurants and holiday homes, earning it the nickname 'the Little Sorrento' of the Gippsland Lakes. Have seafood on the terrace of the Metung Hotel by the marina, with lake views, stroll along the timber boardwalk on the shore, or hire a boat or kayak to explore the lake. In summer, pelicans gather at the marina, and a daily pelican feeding takes place at midday (check locally for current times). Cruises from Lakes Entrance also reach the village. There are few shops in the village, so it suits a relaxed half-day.
