About this property
A Castle- Lakefront with a jetty & Pet friendly!
"How's the serenity!" A Castle, like it's namesake from the movie "The Castle", is an absolute waterfront property that edges the banks of Lake King. No powerlines in sight, just uninterupted views of the lake with the mountains in the background.
Sit on the deck in summer with a cheeky Chardonny, or inside by the open fire with a serene Shiraz during the mild winter months, watching the seabirds and boating activities, and simply "absorb the vibe"... This 3 bedroom property provides all that you would require for your seaside holiday. A fabulous location, with it's own private jetty for fishing or water sports. Experience beautiful sunrises over the lake in the morning and soak up the sun on your sheltered deck.
'A Castle', is only 6km from Paynesville village, where you will find restaurants and cafes, two supermarkets, and quaint shops, where you can purchase that special souvenir to remind you of your seaside holiday. Both the Paynesville Cruiser Club and the Old Paynesville Pub have courtesy buses, for your convenience, if you want a night out on the town, without the worry of drink driving.
Take one of the commercial cruises from either Paynesville, Lakes Entrance, or Metung, and explore the largest inland lake system in Australia, visiting the many ports and the magnificent 90 mile surf beach. If you are lucky enough to have your own boat, the possibilities are endless, and you can divert to the less visited Rottamah Island, Sperm Whale head, And Picnic Point, just to name a few.
The yard has a fully fenced backyard so your furry friends can enjoy your family holiday too. There are plenty of walking tracks that lead you to Paynesville, or down to the Mitchel river, and the Eagle Point wildlife sancturary. And there is wildlife in abundance! You are almost certain to see a mob of kangaroos in the afternoons along the Eagle Point to Paynesville walking track. Pelicans, plovers, kookaburras, cockatoos and parrots sharing your private garden space. Watch the dolphins gliding past, and the resident eagles soaring overhead.This really is an escape from the pressures of the city.
A castle also has it's own section of beach, for the children and the dogs to swim, or launch your kayaks and canoes for a row around the foreshore. Plenty of fishing to be enjoyed and cooked on the barbecue in the summer sun. Some of the best fishing to be had, is up one of the many rivers that feed into the lake system. The Mitchell river is within walking distance from 'A Castle' and provides ample shoreline to enjoy this relaxing activity.
A caretaker lives in a separate dwelling on the property so any small issues can be addressed immediately.
So many things to do and see. Why would you go anywhere else, 'Ahh, The Serenity'

Amazing views over the lake towards the mountains.The deck is the perfect place to warm yourself. A fully fenced yard works for the dog. Well appointed with heating and cooling and a fireplace. Kitchen is well provisioned and bedrooms are super comfy. I imagine the waterfront would be a good spot to launch some kayaking or SUP adventures. Very relaxing, chill spot.
We had a lovely weekend here - great view to the lake, fishing on the jetty, well set up, comfortable and clean and good yard for our dog. Has everything you need and minutes from Paynesville. Recommend!
Large property in a great location. Beautiful outlook to the lake. Large secure garden perfect for our dogs. Access is great to the water, so easy, we fished and paddle board. Comfortable and clean.
We love this property; it's the second time we have stayed here. Toasty warm with several heating options, and beautiful views of the lake. Dog friendly as well!

Superb location
Loved our stay at A Castle. The private beach and jetty were ideal for swimming and fishing. Being able to launch our kayaks from the beach and explore Lake King was great. It was so good that we have just booked it again for March.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at A Castle. It's great to have repeat guests, I'm sure you'll have a great time on the Labour day weekend! cheers Wendy
This is our 2nd time staying at the Castle and it is really a dream holiday house. Great location with private waterfront onto lake, fully fenced which keeps the dogs safe and a very comfortable, well equipped home. Love it!
Our stay at A Castle was everything we expected from the photos and listing.
The location and facilities are excellent.
It was very relaxing sitting on the undercover deck overlooking the water.
Great to have a swim with our dog or a walk on the trail.
Lovely location exactly as described. Excellent for dogs with large yard out the back. Beds comfortable and everything you need supplied.
Very enjoyable stay unfortunately no fish.
