Located just 5 minutes from Bairnsdale, 15 minutes from Paynesville, and a scenic 25-30 minutes from Metung and Lakes Entrance, you’ll find yourself enveloped in the beauty of East Gippsland. Our gated property comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests, making it ideal for small families or groups.

Experience the warm charm of East Gippsland while indulging in all the comforts of home. Whether you're passing through on an interstate journey or embarking on a holiday adventure, our accommodation offers both necessity and a touch of luxury. Join us for an unforgettable stay! I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but due to past experiences with guests who brought pets, we have encountered persistent odor issues from urine in the carpet. Despite assurances that pets would behave, the cleanup has often required extensive time and resources to address. As a result, this accommodation is no longer suitable for pet owners unless they can ensure their pets remain comfortably outside on the covered patio, which can be made quite cozy with your own pet bed. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this dilemma. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen -
