East Gippsland Retreat for you and your Furry Friends. A home away from home.
Welcome to Your Home Away from Home! Nestled conveniently between New South Wales and Melbourne, our charming haven is the perfect stopover for those seeking rest and relaxation. 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. Enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom, and a delightful barbecue area to create your outdoor culinary masterpieces. 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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

A wonderful stay. Our host was warm, welcoming and responsive, and the place was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated — stylish yet very comfortable, with all the conveniences, and every detail considered. Great bathroom and comfortable bedding. Private, peaceful, and conveniently located. We really enjoyed our time and would happily stay again.
