East Gippsland Accommodation — Based in Mallacoota
Mallacoota sits at the far eastern edge of East Gippsland — 500km from Melbourne, tucked into a corner where the Genoa River meets the inlet and the coast. It's the kind of place you have to want to get to. And that's exactly why people love it.
Silver Bream Motel is a two-minute walk from the town centre, right on the edge of Mallacoota Inlet. Pet-friendly rooms, flexible self check-in, no fuss. A comfortable base for exploring East Gippsland properly.
Why East Gippsland?
East Gippsland stretches from the Latrobe Valley out to the New South Wales border — a long, largely untouched stretch of Victoria that most people drive through without stopping. Those who do stop find one of the least crowded corners of the country.
Croajingolong National Park
One of Australia's 15 UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Croajingolong wraps around Mallacoota with over 100km of wilderness coastline. Ancient rainforest gullies, heathland, and estuary — and almost no one else on the track.
Gabo Island
A protected lighthouse reserve 14km offshore, home to one of Australia's largest little penguin colonies and a population of fur seals. Boat tours depart from Mallacoota Wharf — a 550m walk from Silver Bream.
The Inlet and Coast
The Mallacoota Inlet is one of the best fishing spots in Victoria. Bream, flathead, and tailor in the estuary. Hire a tinny, kayak at sunrise, or just find a beach that's yours for the day.
The Rooms
Silver Bream has three room types — a Comfort Triple, a Two-Bedroom Unit, and a Two-Bedroom Unit (Unit 4). All are pet friendly with flexible self check-in.
Getting Here
Mallacoota is approximately 4.5 hours from Melbourne via the Princes Highway. Head through Bairnsdale and Orbost, then south on the Mallacoota turnoff past Cann River. The drive through East Gippsland is worth slowing down for.
