Lincoln Downs

South Coast NSW


Across the bridge from the centre, this resort-like complex offers largish motel-style rooms, many overlooking a private lake that flutters with birds. Rooms are fitted with fridges, smart black sofas and good bathrooms. There's also a heated outdoor pool, a spa, a gym and a tennis court. It's a place for drivers only, located 1km north of town via the highway.

The better rooms have king-size beds, lake views and swanky lounge areas. There's a minimum three-night stay in January, when rates more than double.

The restaurant, open daily for dinner, serves upmarket bistro fare like steak, lasagne and seafood (book ahead).
