Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers or loyalty member benefits. we love this because... As we drive into Metung and catch our first glimpse of Chinamans Creek with boats and yachts securely moored in the still blue water we feel the cares of the world drop away. There is always a sense of excitement as we open the door of The Mariner and enter a different world. A world of ships and history where you can be the captain of your own adventure. We love the dark moody hallway as you enter reminiscent of the lower deck steerage on a boat with cabin numbers on the doors and interiors that can take you to the 1940s. Walking up the steps to the dark and moody Captains Quarters with portraits of the infamous 'Sea Dogs' and a cosy fire, built in bookcase and day bed. We pick out a book that sends us back to our childhood and curl up under the reading lamp. On sunny days we open the doors and sit on the deck looking out to the lake and the water. On the upper level the light and bright lounge is reminiscent of an ocean liners deck complete with lifejacket and water hose. Such a beautiful light an bright space with dining and a galley style kitchen. On this level is the master suite with four poster bed and window seat, the first class 'cabin' with ensuite. For the best lunch or dinner, we take a short stroll to the Metung Hotel (locally known as the Pub) and always book a table with a view. Its always bustling so you have to book. For breakfast, we eat at Aroma Coffee House or we head into Lakes Entrance and buy fresh prawns off the boats and come back and sit outside with local wine and feast. PAWfect What fun! a new house to visit that lets (SMALL) four-legged friends like me sleep inside. Yay! a garden and courtyard with fences to keep me safe. Love the trees and bushes there are lots of interesting smells. Are those possums, koalas and kookaburras in the trees? I LOVE THIS PLACE. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Day bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Sailing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33710000/33710000/33709923/fe660b64.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Oar House - Gippsland Lakes Retreat Metung - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.4 Very good 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=33709923&PinnedHotelID=33709923&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103660000/103651100/103651037/f4212e55.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The White House- Loft Metung - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=103651037&PinnedHotelID=103651037&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112720000/112714500/112714481/5f7ccc21.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Metung Holiday House | Family & Pet Friendly, Cosy Coastal downtown stay Metung - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=112714481&PinnedHotelID=112714481&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103660000/103650800/103650753/495985ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The White House-Studio Metung - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=103650753&PinnedHotelID=103650753&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33560000/33555600/33555560/b0d14f62.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Maeburn Cottages - Self-contained Lakeside Getaway Metung - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 286 reviews CA $131 CA $171 total includes taxes & fees Nov 12 - Nov 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=33555560&PinnedHotelID=33555560&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68170000/68166900/68166820/18cd4c06.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Le Petite - Enjoy a glass of wine, or the short stroll down to Paynesville Paynesville - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 22 reviews CA $341 CA $395 total includes taxes & fees Nov 5 - Nov 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=68166820&PinnedHotelID=68166820&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78770000/78769600/78769562/d23c00c1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The View, Metung.
