Beautiful house in a beautiful location

Absolutely loved our stay here! The views from the back garden over the water are sublime, and the activities at the boat ramp kept us entertained morning and afternoon. So grateful that we were also allowed to bring our furry friend, who also enjoyed swims in the water and meeting the local dogs. Would love to go back one day soon.

Fantastic position

This property was in the ideal location for us, we spent a lot of time in the boat , it made access fantastic & sitting on the deck looking at the view was perfect. The house is a new build and comfortable. The beds were very firm but nice linen. We had a great time at this property.

Relaxing Stay

We decided to visit the Gippsland area to help the economy after the fires We stayed in Paynesville and the house was lovely in a quiet court and looks over the area where the boats are put in the water The house was new and had all amenities The only thing was it was stated that the house had fans in the rooms but there wasn’t any The area is beautiful and although a long way to travel for a couple of days we will be back for a longer stay
