Beautiful 3 bedroom place on the cove. The back deck looks right onto the cove and the view is beautiful and so peaceful. The place was quite large and very nice and clean. We loved that there was a washer and dryer and all the ammenities we could possibly need. We would have loved to stay longer.

Waterside stunner!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The unit was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We were able to choose between relaxing on the upper or lower deck overlooking the water - blissful. Would highly recommend a stay here. Ideal for a family or friends. Eateries just a few minutes walk away.

excellent stay in a well appointed apartment with great activities and friendly staff. beds were a little uncomfortable with sheets which weren't fitted and were scratchy. We wanted to hire bikes but were unable to do due to the office being closed all the time

Very unimpressed with our stay at Captains Cove. The whole resort felt tired and way past its best. Our unit wasn’t clean. Toilet roll holders still had the mostly used rolls from the previous guests. On the terrace area an ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts. The hot water ran out quickly. The position on the water is great but doesn’t justify the high price. One positive was the king bed that was very comfortable. Paynesville is a lovely spot and our trip to see the koalas on Raymond Island was great. I would simply never stay at Captains Cove again
