About this property
Raymond Island Retreat: This open plan holiday home has it all… even a jetty!
Designed for a large family, this open-plan holiday home has it all… great location, space, and comfort. There is a very large, fully equipped kitchen and ample internal/outdoor dining, and a very large, airy, comfortable living area. The lounge is complete with a free-standing wood heater (BYO wood).
There is a large parents’ retreat with a queen bed, settee, generous ensuite, and a walk-in robe. There are 3 other bedrooms, all with queen size beds with one also having an extra single bed. As well as the ensuite, there is the main bathroom and an additional shower and toilet in the laundry.
You can stroll around the island and enjoy the abundance of birdlife, koalas, kangaroos, and even echidnas. The Koala Trail offers a great opportunity to view the Island’s flora and fauna. Paynesville is a short walk along the waters edge boardwalk and a ferry trip to enjoy the restaurants and cafes in Paynesville.
This home is only 100 meters from a lovely safe, secluded, sandy, swimming beach and a private jetty with the use of a berth for a boat up to 6 metres. The property is fully fenced and with dual street frontage, you have plenty of room for your cars and boat.

Our group of six adults had a very comfortable stay. The living areas are spacious and having the toilet and shower in the laundry was a bonus. The house is well equipped and it was very easy to go out and do the koala spotting.
The house and location was great. We had a great experience, the house had everything we needed and could easily walk everywhere. Reymond island and the surrounding areas was more then we expected and we had a great family hoilday .

Lovely quiet property, spotlessly clean with excellent amenities. Nicely renovated with retro touches, tons of room. The only thing we needed were the keys to the boat lol!

Loved the Island and the house was in the perfect location. The house was a great space and had everything you could possibly need and more, especially in the kitchen. Lovely garden and huge amount of bird life. We would definitely return.

A wonderful family holiday experience. A special shout out to the Gippsland Lakes Escapes Holiday Accommodation team who delivered candles during an extended power outage which impacted the whole island. Great example of customer focus and care!
