The house is perfectly set up for a large family holiday. Lots of wonderful toys and games are provided for children. The rooms are large and clean with plenty of comfortable beds for adults and kids. The outside spaces are all open and offer a variety of areas for games and eating. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and crockery and offers some basic condiments too. We have so enjoyed our stay there. Thankyou to the hosts for sharing their lovely home. The staff at the office in paynesville are also friendly and efficient. A great holiday destination. Cheers.

Overall a very pleasant stay. Property was clean and well sized with linens supplied.Most of the beds were very comfortable, but the 2 single beds in the first room my mother found a bit hard. These would be alright for kids probably. Kitchen was a decent sized with some basics supplied like salt and oil. Barbeque was also available for use. Plenty of parking available in property.The house is mostly accessible, however there were 2 moderate steps up into the front door, and a small step down into the lounge room and one of the bedrooms. You could theoretically push a wheelchair or walker through the backyard around to the side door if level access is required.Only improvements I can think of supplying more toilet paper and soap, as there wasn't much supplied for the capacity of the house.Overall a pleasant stay, and I would stay there again

family fun

The rooms were large and airy, with the 4/5 bedrooms well appointed and laid out well for multiple families. Enough space and welcoming options to to be together or find a nook on your own. The pool table was a hit with adults as was the ping pong table outside. Great back yard for playing chasey! A wonderful place for a family holiday.

Return to Paynesville

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great family weekend, the house was comfortable and I would happily recommend it. The only issue we had were there was no wood for the fireplace. There was old food and bits and pieces underneath the couch. The vacuum cleaner kept turning itself off so we were unable to give the house a vacuum when we left. I apologise, I think I forgot to turn the dishwasher on before we left.

Hi Gillian, thank you so much for your review and feedback, so pleased that you had a great family weekend. Sorry about the wood, we do advertise to bring your own. I will certainly speak to the cleaners about the rubbish under the couch, so sorry, and we will check the vacume cleaner, we can't fix things if we do not get this feedback, again thank you.

A great rental for large groups

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Yes definitely a great rental for a large group. Lots of activities within the property - pool table, skittles, table tennis, darts, hookey and a few board games. Also two living areas and two outdoor spaces. One large outdoor space is undercover and would suit all-year-round use. Kitchen is well-equipped with tonnes of crochery, pots and pans and basic pantry stables. Note to access the 5th bedroom you have to go through the 4th - worked well for us but wouldn't suit everyone. The property is on the edge of town, but does make it quicker to get to Bairnsdale.
