This Tudor style house is located on one of the most beautiful places on Raymond Island, 6km's from the Paynesville township on 10 acres of bushland with tall trees in a parklike setting. Secluded off a beautiful long winding driveway, the house with it's two built in 2 storey cottages is but a few metres from the water's edge, has a safe sandy beach which stretches for miles on this side of the island. There is no road between the house and beach! This area in Gippsland is well known for its mild climate in winter, and cooling sea breezes in the hot summertime. It is surely one of the finest inland lake locations in Victoria, indeed Australia. It offers great variety such as swimming, bushwalking, sailing, boating, fishing, bowling and golf. The prawns run right out the front in summer and the owners have available kayaks to explore the lakes system. We offer truly peaceful, exclusive and tranquil surroundings in which to relax and be close to unspoiled nature. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Dining - Free breakfast available ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles ### 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 - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 467 square feet ## Similar properties ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32070000/32060300/32060246/deaa3fef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Swan Cove Garden Cottage Raymond Island - Breakfast included - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 17 reviews CA $251 CA $276 total includes taxes & fees Feb 1 - Feb 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=32060246&PinnedHotelID=32060246&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112980000/112977000/112976998/186d1b80.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Bedroom Luxury Villa Metung - Pool - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning CA $302 CA $302 total includes taxes & fees Feb 1 - Feb 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=112976998&PinnedHotelID=112976998&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116940000/116936300/116936284/94f3624f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 Bedroom Family Villa Metung - Pool - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning CA $278 CA $278 total includes taxes & fees Feb 1 - Feb 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=116936284&PinnedHotelID=116936284&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78770000/78769600/78769562/6b09f4aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The View, Metung.

The little cottage we stayed in was so gorgeous, it was clean and cosy with so much character and an amazing history behind it!! We loved Casper the resident dog, he was kind enough to show us around on a walk. We saw a koala in one of the trees by the cottage which was very special.

The property reminded me of an English Tudor home with retro 70's fittings but the property is German styled. There are two cottages and I loved their vintage kitchen decor. We were so very lucky to see & enjoy the architecture & finishes in the main house - this was truly a treat for us! We saw owls, koalas & kangaroos around the house and on the island. The birds feed from from your hands. This gem of a place is a wonderful example of healthy living & lifestyle - the welcome yummy slice that was left for us when we arrived was cacao topped and made from sweet potato. This stay is a unique experience not to be missed when in Victoria. ##### CAISEE P. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Julie M.

I was looking for a quiet peaceful place to take my kids for a break. Felt at home as soon as we arrived. Kirsten is just lovely. It was all l asked for and more. Loved the kayaking and bike riding \[both supplied by Kirsten and Tony\]. We booked for 2 nights but due to the floods we could not get off the island. What a shame. To be stranded 4 nights at such a beautiful place. Must be fate. We are booked in again in January for 4 nights with my husband and his 3 kids. Can't wait! ##### Sherryn S.
