About this property

Kambera House - Quaint 3 bedroom holiday accommodation close to the water

Quaint little 3 bedroom holiday accommodation close to the water and walking distance to the Raymond Island ferry. This Cottage would suit a small budget-conscious family, wanting to get away for a weekend or longer stay. Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen, huge backyard for the kids to run wild and play with the dog, great BBQ area, and lovely garden. So close to the ferry, you won't need the car if you wanted to dine in Paynesville, a very relaxing tranquil spot on Raymond Island.

Worst experience for my family and I, evacuated property as not fit to stay, sleepless and restless.

I stayed at the property with my guests and they were really not happy. The property was not clean, there were bugs crawling through doors, windows and wall gaps. Most of the night my guest stayed up the night to inspect that no bugs would crawl into the bed. We found a bugs in 1 of the beds, so we decided not to use 1 room. we had to remove beddings from beds to confirm there were no bugs. We had to use the insect spray in the kitchen cupboard, since we had to keep spraying the property was stinking of the fumes since we were too scared to open windows or doors since our arrival. Luckly we found candles in the draws to help reduce the smell but this isn't a holiday I expected. Women guests were paranoid all night and didnt sleep by arming themselves with bug spray, little baby was sensitive to spray fumes. My guests and I want to leave the property urgently but no other hotels near by had vaccancy. We have photos of the bugs to show and want our money back. We left the property in the morning and we called Phil who was showing empathy towards us but We had to leave to find another hotel, luckly we found another apartment. The new apartment was way more presentable, cleaner and bug free. Your property's first impression from my family and I was that the front entry fascia was hopelessly dirty with bugs and cobwebs.

Inadequate & Overpriced

The garden is poorly maintained. While the occupier instructions given require that any pet excrement be removed immediately & disposed of, this did not occur with previous renters. The lawns had not been mowed for at least 4 weeks before our arrival. There was no evidence of pruning, weeding, flower bed maintenance. The interior of Kambera house is very dated. The bathroom door latch & lock system is installed incorrectly, two of the internal doors are so badly swollen (probably moisture induced) that they are almost impossible to close without using force. The property rental price is excessive considering the inadequacies above. We will avoid this rental agent system in the future.

Quiet peaceful house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time we have stayed at Kambera. It is simple, old style beach house in a quiet part of the island. It is nopt far from the ferry. We enjoyed sitting on the front verandah listening to the birds. The yard was well fenced for our dogs. The staff at Gippsland Lakes Escapes were very helpful when I wanted to extend our stay by a day.

Kambera House, Raymond Island

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A lovely, well equipped clean little house that was let down by lack of attention from the property managers. When we arrived there was no power and no directions for turning it on. After searching throughout the house we found the fuse box and were able to flick all of the switches, but only half the power came on. This required a number of phone calls to the out-of-hours contact who was very responsive and eventually helped us to get all of the power on. I expected that the power would have been turned on in advance of our visit. There was a lot of 'propaganda' about the generous welcome basket of tea and coffee etc, but there was nothing provided. This was a disappointment, as there are no shops on the island.

A beautiful escape in a unique environment

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our time on Raymond Island and visiting the surrounding cute towns. The Island has such a variety of environments for such a small place and seeing koalas and kangaroos everywhere was a delight. The house was cosy and had everything you could possibly need. Our dog loved staying too. The ferry is a quick trip and comes often. It was a very relaxing and different trip to our usual. One thing to remember is mosquito repellant. They are everywhere but wont bother you with bug spray on. Loved it.

Clean, tidy and everything you need

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kambera House is an older holiday home that is well maintained, clean and tidy and has everything you need for a great holiday. The welcome pack with milk, bread and other essentials was a nice touch, and booking and after hours key pick up was simple and easy. Gippsland Lakes Escapes were prompt with their communication and very helpful with questions during booking. We are glad to have found this company as we are regular visitors to Paynesville and have booked to stay in another of their properties at Christmas (we would have been happy to stay at Kambera House again but we needed a property slightly closer to family living in the area).
