Secluded lodges perfect for nature lovers

The Waterfront Retreat, one of East Gippsland’s best-kept secrets, offers a tranquil escape on 20 acres of natural bushland along the banks of Lake Victoria. With 19 self-contained lodges ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms, guests can enjoy lake or bushland views while catering for themselves in fully equipped kitchens. Just 15 minutes from Paynesville and 20 minutes from Bairnsdale, this peaceful haven is perfect for nature lovers, complete with a resident mob of friendly kangaroos.

Nestled amidst stunning lake views, The House offers the perfect retreat for families and friends. This charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has quaint lodge vibes, with cozy furnishings and two spacious living areas to spread out and unwind. Gather around the wood fireplace for a warm, relaxing evening after a day of lakeside adventures. Guests can enjoy a large DVD collection for movie nights in, and undercover parking adds convenience during your stay. Fully furnished for comfort and ease, The House invites you to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories in a beautiful lakeside setting.

Watch and feed native animal life right outside your lodge, including kangaroos and parrots, or go fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding on the lake right outside your door. We offer free use of pushbikes, which you can use to explore the trails or bike to the heated outdoor spa. In the winter, cozy up to a wood-burning fireplace or take a dip in the heated indoor pool.

Pool Disclaimer
The indoor pool is available for guest use year-round. Please note the pool is heated during the warmer months only, from the September school holidays through to the Easter/school holiday period.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
